When A week ago
Artist Roel (IAM:dust)

Location Maastricht, The Netherlands
My boyfriend was gone for two weeks (on tour with his band in the Middle East), so it was the perfect time to get some new genital piercing, together with a tongue web. I figured that the 2 weeks he was gone would be excellent to give the fresh piercing some rest during the first stages of healing.

So the day after he left I dragged along the singer of my band for pictures and mental support to Maastricht. First we had lunch and ran some errands before we walked to Lifestyle. I went up to the counter and told Isabelle (the floor manager at Lifestyle) that I wanted a tongue-web and a triangle. She asked what a triangle was and I explained it to her and told her that Sandra (the owner of the shop) had checked my anatomy 2 weeks ago and that it was possible. Isabelle asked if I already had a genital piercing and I told her I already had a vertical clithood. She put back the aftercare sheet that she wanted to give me and simply told me that aftercare would be the same for the triangle. I filled out the necessary forms and then Isabelle told me that Roel would be performing the piercings because Sandra was in Brazil, and if that was ok by me. I really didn't care, Roel is an amazing piercer as well. Isabelle asked me to go into the piercing room and Roel would be there any second.

Me and my friend went into a room with a dentist-chair-type-o'-thing. I thought that was weird because I assumed that we would need a medical-bed-thingy for the triangle, but I sat down on the chair anyway. Roel came in and asked me to go to the other room. And in that room there was indeed a medical bed. I asked Roel what he'd suggested to do first, and he said the tongue-web because it was the least painful. So we got that one out of the way first and then I could drop my trousers. My friend asked if she should leave the room but I said it was fine by me if she stayed and took pictures. Unfortunately those all turned out pretty crappy as she was too nervous to keep the camera still, hehe.

Roel cleaned the area with some antibacterial stuff and applied a topical numbing agent. That numbing stuff was probably the worst part of the experience, it felt like thousands of needles that were penetrating the area around my clit and though I like pain that felt not good at all. The feeling subsided within two minutes or so which meant that my skin had absorbed it. Roel felt around a bit in the area and got out a purple marker. He asked me if Sandra had told me that I might get into trouble because the balls could be rubbing. I had no clue what he was talking about, and he kind of explained but I still didn't really understand. I said that he should just start marking me and that I could always take it out. We also discussed jewelry and he said it would only work out with a curved barbell while I wanted a horseshoe ring. I thought that was pretty weird actually, but since he is the pro, I agreed. He marked me and showed me where the piercing would be. And I was like: "What? Could you show that again please?" And I was really happy that I did. He had marked it vertically. The lower ball would be next to my left inner labium, and the barbell would travel diagonally underneath my clit and the upper ball would come out next to my hood (there's the confusion about the balls rubbing!). A little conversation followed:

"No no, that's not what I want at all! I want it like this!" (Showing it)
"Oh ok I'm sorry, I thought you wanted it vertically."
"I didn't even know that you could pierce a triangle vertically."
"Ohhhh, a lot is possible."
"Well I just never saw one, and I've seen a lot of stuff on BME".
(Grins) "Well if we're doing it horizontally, we can use a horseshoe ring or a CBR, let me go grab one."

He came back with a tiny CBR and said he hadn't any horseshoe rings in the appropriate size at the moment.
"Do you want it to encircle your clit alone? Because we can do that to with your anatomy".
"No no, pierce the hood with it".
(While remarking) "Hmmm, in that case, we can take a bigger size CBR. Do you want the horseshoe ring then? I have them in this size".
"Yes please!"

He went to get the horseshoe ring, and then he showed me the new marks. Perfect this time, this was what I wanted. He clamped me, which was kind of uncomfortable but not painful, got out the needle and asked me to take a deep breath in. Aaaaand out, PIERCE! The piercing was pretty painful (but still nowhere near the pain level of my rook or double forward helix). I could really feel the needle passing through the tissue underneath my clit. However, the pain subsided quickly. Jewelry insertion was probably as painful as the piercing itself, but it was all over within seconds. I suppose the numbing agent did do its job, I didn't feel the needle penetrating the skin or coming out of it, but I sure felt pain in the deeper tissue. There was no blood at all, so that was good.

We quickly discussed aftercare: "Just do as you did with your VCH, healing time will be about the same". We had a little chat about the upcoming Truth Seekers Syndicate Event where I will be doing my first pull. Then I thanked him, I went to Isabelle, paid, and was on my merry way.

Walking was a bit awkward at first. I must have looked like a duck waddling around. The drive home was pretty nice – bumps in the road can be pleasant. When I got home I went to the toilet to check it out and give it a sea salt soak. It was bleeding a bit and did so for the next hours. For a week I washed the piercing in the shower once a day and did a sea salt soak every day as well. Walking was weird the first days, I could feel the jewelry moving and slightly tugging on the fresh piercing hole, which was a bit painful. I had to be careful with sitting down for a week as well. There has been no irritation or swelling whatsoever, luckily.

I now have the piercing for 11 days, and it never hurts anymore, even with the funniest movements. Actually the 2-year-old girl of a friend of mine kicked it and that didn't hurt anymore as it would have hurt without a piercing. I can hardly believe that the healing is so fast and so uneventful – the piercing is pretty much healed though I suppose it is impossible that a complete fistula has already formed. It is still somewhat sensitive sometimes, but I don't expect any troubles anymore. I simply clean it every day in the shower now and it's doing great!

I didn't have the opportunity to test the piercing with my boyfriend yet as he is gone, but I'm quite sure that it's going to be good. My clitoris is very sensitive and now I can actually stimulate the back of it! Besides, it looks amazing, especially in combination with my VCH. If your anatomy allows you to have this piercing, then I can recommend it. For me it wasn't that painful, it's easy to heal, and it looks amazing and should be a nice little naughty toy as well. So go for it!
