After I got my VCH done and after reading up on experiences on here about the triangle. I started reading the day after I got my first genital piercing up on it, about healing times and placement, I already knew where I would go since I had such a wonderful experience last time. I called up Tommy T's to make sure he would do this special piercing for me and he said of course they do, but I just had my hood pierced so I had to sit out for a while and wait for it to heal a bit more before sending my body under the needle again.

As the days passed by I started thinking more and worrying a bit more day by day all these what if's popped into my head.
Like what if I couldn't drive after
Or what if I was to dizzy or light headed and fainted
What if I start crying?
Or I faint from blood loss
What if I wake up in a lake of blood like others have reported
What if I was to dizzy and on a piercing high and couldn't drive
So I enlisted my friend and schoolmate for help as a "just in case driver" actually she's the one that dragged me, after hearing I had a hood piercing and was getting more she was jumping for joy because she said "I've been wanting one of those for more then 5 years! Would you take me with you" so 3 days after my period ended and just a few days after the 3 and a half week mark of my latest piercing, I walked (was dragged) back into the studio, I leaned back on the counter trying to keep calm as she was asked what she wanted, and I worked up the nerve to tell my piercer I wanted a triangle.
Picking out my jewelry was one of the harder things I sat down on the floor to look at the rings and I couldn't decide if I wanted a curved barbell, captive bead or circular barbell so after a few minutes of talking we pulled up photos and I got to decide based on photos and what I thought looked best, as well as what would heal in me the best. (I got an internally threaded 14 gauge circular barbell) happy with my choice he rang me up with the total and knowing that you only get what you pay for I bit the bullet yet again and handed over the credit card.
To clam my nerves I went back and started reading experiences yet again thinking that in less then an hour I'd know first hand what it was like and not to worry as well as looking at photos thinking wow in a little while I'm going to have that my self. About twenty minutes later my friend was called in first and that is her story so I wont tell it to you, that is up to her.
I went to the couch to sit down and relax and get my self mentally prepared, but waiting and trying to settle my nerves all I couldn't help thinking and all the while wondering if I was insane for doing this, and I had to keep my self from freaking out. And this time I wasn't scared of dropping my pants I was scared of the needle going though me!
My friend walked out with a smile on her face and saying "that was fun I want more" laughing at her helped relax me a lot and after talking for a good 5 minutes, I was pretty well settled down because she calmed me of me fears and scary thoughts.
After taking my jewelry out of the autoclave and cleaning up the room my friend was just in, I was told it was my turn and I couldn't have a hand holder. I let out a light "oh shit" and then got up ready to walk like a cowboy out of the same room in a few minutes.
Tommy was setting up the rest of the way and I was told to settle down and take my jeans and panties off and get on the table. After putting my legs in the stirrups and putting my butt at the edge of the table I leaned back and put my hands on either side of the table ready to grip on for dear life, I was lightly eyed and marked and the clamps went on in a second after saying that felt funny he changed it a bit up or down I don't really know. But a few moments later I heard the dreaded words of "deep breath in" and felt the needle press and started breathing in when told I must say I felt the needle a lot it was more of a cold passing though and like some I was able to feel the 3 layers it passed though and then I felt the "pop" as it came out and honestly my toes started cramping up in the middle or after I don't really know and that hurt more then the needle that just went into me. He quickly pushed the needle out with the jewelry in after telling me to lay still cause he didn't want to pinch me. A few seconds later he said he just finished screwing on the ball and we were done. It was really all done within 20 seconds and without major pain.
I put my legs down with the biggest smile on my face and was like "that's really it" and get the yeah that's really it in response. I must say for me at least my vch hurt more then my triangle or maybe it was the toe distraction. I was slightly lightheaded as I pulled on my underwear and luck would have it I remembered to put a pad in my pocket before hand, I put this in and pulled my jeans back up and put my shoes on and headed out to tell my friend I was brave and didn't chicken out!
As we headed to my car after talking she asked me if I was fine driving, smiling to my self because that was one of my major fears I declared my self-fine only a bit lightheaded and some slight throbbing. I turned on my car and we were on the road back home, it was a different feeling of driving then before, I couldn't tell if it was pain or pleasure that my body was feeling.
After dropping my friend off at home I went back home my self ready to be put away for the night. However this was far from the case, I checked my pad at home (over night make you waddle like a duck pad) it was about 2/3s full so I changed it took some ibuprofen and went to take a nap I woke up about 3 hours later a little bit sore but all together fine. I went to the bathroom to check and make sure I didn't need to change my pad yet, luck was on my side and it wasn't to bad at all. After this I went to my desktop and was going to write this when it was fresh in my mind however I found sitting down normal was kind of painful so I took my laptop and sat on the ground with my legs crossed and found this to be not painful at all, but by that time I decided I'd wait a while to write so I could at least put a few days into it
When I woke up this morning I must say I was highly surprised that I had been sleeping just fine no blood on the blankets, and didn't bleed much more that night. Knowing how others were I was very surprised and happy, I had to grab a hand mirror and check it out and it is perfect! What I believe is straight and I'm so happy I could dance (in fact I did) and then hopped into the shower to get the old blood off and get the first day of cleaning out of the way. It didn't even spot out of the shower but I'm still leaving a liner in as a just in case.
As with anything you want go for it and don't let the thought or fears of pain stop you. Because I can already say I'm so glad I didn't let it stop me. I think it's a personal experience so not everything people say on here will happen to you, just make sure your piercer knows what they are doing and check them out fully first.
Days after:
First day
Somewhat painful but ok - some light spotting and bruised a little bit and painful to clean and move the ring around if you have to. If you don't have the need don't do it... also clean right after showering its easier then
Second day
Again very sore and slightly puffy from bruising and just getting it down, no spotting or crusties on it! Its slightly painful if you walk to much (I was having to run back and forth from the car and back and it started spotting a little last night)
Third day
Better then the second and first but still kinda sore
Forth day
Not to bad
2 months later
it's a great piercing and I would go back and get it redone if I ever had to get it taken out for any reason
