It was just a random day like any other random day. My friend Kendra and I were enjoying some pancakes at IHOP when she mentioned that she wanted to get her nose pierced. I flipped out because I have been into piercings and such for a couple years and I loved taking my friends to get their first holes done. So I told her that I would get something done if she did. That was all it took and we were out of there in a flash. We drove the 5 minutes to Anoka and my favorite place, Forever Yours.

We walked in and were greeted by Paxton, the very nice paper work guy. We filled out Kendra's stuff as I thought about what I wanted to get done. Now my mother had told me NO MORE MODS. Period. So I needed something that I could hide fairly easily but would still be able to show off when I wanted to. I remembered the last time I was there and a girl was showing us her cleavage bar. It hit me like that and I knew that was what I wanted. I'm a big-chested girl so I love to show cleavage so how perfect would such a piercing be! I asked Paxton if Pixxxie, the new piercer, did surface work. He called her out and she assured me that she had done cleavage work before.
We then proceeded to chose the right sized surface bar to put in my chest. The one we chose was about an inch and a half long. I got scared right away. For some reason I had pictured just a little curved barbell, not something so long. But I swallowed that lump in my throat and followed her down the hall to her room. I had been in that room so many times, and every time I walk through those doors and sit down on the table I get so excited. My heart starts to race and the blood is just pumping through my body.
She had me take off my shirt so she could mark me. Holding the bar against my chest she pressed down so that it would make little marks in my skin that she could mark with the marker. She then had me hold my arms up, twist my neck, bend over and then lie down to see how much my skin stretched to make sure it wouldn't be too big or too small. The whole marking process took quite some time. It made me feel that more comfortable though because I knew that she was taking the time to make it perfect so that I would not have to redo anything and I would be happy with the results.
Once I was marked I laid back down on the table. She started by just massaging the skin to loosen it she said. To help separate the layers of skin so she could clamp it easier. I did not think they used a clamp. I couldn't imagine there was enough skin there to even clamp together. I was wrong. She got the clamps from their little sealed package started to bend them so that they didn't clamp done so tightly that I wouldn't be able to bear it. She finally got them bent and started pulling at my cleavage. She warned me that the clamp would be the worse part. I nodded because I had been told that with every other piercing I had gotten. She wasn't even lying, before the clamps were even clamped all the way my chest was burning. Once they were clamped it was still a number of seconds before she got the needle in and what not. But all my pain was so focused on the clamp that I did not feel the needle go through at all. I only felt the jewelry slide in and it wasn't pa inful, just uncomfortable.
Finally the clamps came off and she started to spread my skin back out over the newly placed jewelry. She cleaned me up and bit and had me stand up and take a look. I walked over to the mirror and I could not believe how beautiful it was. I was so happy that I had gone through with it. My first really painful piercing and I made it like a champ. You can't even explain the feeling of pride when you get something new like that. Something that not everyone can stand to do but you can. It's a feeling like nothing else and the exact reason that I'm addicted to piercings, for sure. We walked out with my new mod, paid Pixxxie and tipped her very well. She did an amazing job not only on the piercing but also made me feel comfortable, always explaining what was going on and letting me know what to expect. She's very good at what she does and so a nice tip is the least that I can do.
My cleavage is healing nicely, I have some pain when bending over just because the skin is shifting and things like that but all in all I love it. I'm so happy that that was what I chose to have done. It's gorgeous and wouldn't give it up for anything.
