Every two months or so, I get an urge to pierce. This time, exactly two months and 15 days after getting my hood pierced, I walked into Need A New Hole on Tecumseh Road to get my cleavage pierced. Let me tell you, there is nothing like walking in and seeing a bunch of piercing fanatics like myself.
At A Glance Author Vanessa Contact Vanessa@bme.anon When A month ago Artist Chris Studio Need A New Hole Location Windsor, Ontario, Canada Originally, I had planned to go with my best friend, but I could only get the car for a certain time when she wasn't available. She wanted to get her ears stretched, which she has done since then. I am actually glad that I went by myself because I didn't feel rushed, I was relaxed and took my time. I could also ask stupid questions without feeling stupid.
At the time, my piercer, Chris, was doing something regular like a belly button piercing. So I waited and these two girls walked in. One thought she needed to take her surface piercing out so I told her she could go ahead of me because it wouldn't take long. After Chris finished telling her more instructions and to switch soaps, they left. So he asked what I wanted, and I signed the papers and in I went. He said I didn't have much choice for the type of jewelry, but I got to pick the balls I wanted. I picked bluish/greenish metallic blue multicolour and sort of watermarked balls. I took off my shirt and left my sports bra on, taking it off only to properly position the barbell placement. After we were both satisfied, I sat on the bright blue dentist-like chair and laid down. We started talking and he took all the stuff out in front of me and opened them all out of their packages. He was really excited to give me this piercing, which really helped me along.
After he clamped me, Chris had me breathe in and out three times. I'm not really sure when exactly he pierced me, but I know I winced and shut my eyes really tight. He left the needle there for a bit and he couldn't get the surface bar in. After the third attempt it worked and I was really excited and I was really glad that he did it. I know my skin is really tight and strong and that might be why it was such a difficulty. I looked in the mirror and squeezed my breasts together and the placement was perfect. I was really, really, happy.
I was/still am hiding this piercing from my parents. It is very easy to hide and very easy to flaunt, so it all depends on what you want.
The first night it was impossible to sleep on my stomach, which was very uncomfortable considering that is how I prefer to sleep. I used a gentle antiseptic on it regularly and cleansed it fully everyday in the shower. The shower is really great because it softens the 'crusties' and also I noticed that my piercing seemed to enjoy water for some odd reason.
I play travel fast-pitch softball and so far I have to complications, problems, or signs of rejection. This means that it moves with you and adjusts to your movements. Many people do not expect me to have piercing's because my piercing's are all hidden. As this one is easy to show off, unlike my hood, many people know about it. There are many different reactions. Usually the people who have been taught that "piercing's are bad" react to it by saying "That's stupid, why'd you get that", or something of that manner. Generally though, most responses have been positive.
I haven't had many problems, except a couple of days ago when I was moving the barbell around to ensure it had enough 'room', a bunch of whitish/yellowish liquid came out. I read somewhere that that is okay and it only happened that day so I wasn't about to call Need a New Hole. If it happens again though, I will not hesitate to ask them questions seeing as all the people there are 100% approachable.
Also, the bar attaching the ball tends to stick out on the bottom hole. I think this is because of gravity and it's just being pulled to the bottom.
Overall, I am really happy that I have this piercing and it's been really good to me. Hopefully, it doesn't migrate, although I heard it will be destined to, because I love it a lot. If my parents ever find out however, I think they'll have a different perspective.
If you want to know anything about my piercing's, feel free to e-mail me at the given e-mail address. If you're ever in Windsor, don't hesitate to go to Need a New Hole, as they are completely professional and know what they are doing.
