About a week ago I was at my piercer's studio, Russ, getting a couple new holes in myself when he suggested that shoving 100 needles in me would make for some great pictures for my IAM page. I really didn't think much of it at first but then I started thinking about it and then I couldn't stop. I couldn't sleep for a whole night because of it. So the next day I messaged Russ and asked him if he wanted to do a play piercing session with me. Off course he said yes. Like anyone would refuse such an opportunity. Since my birthday was coming up we both decided that that would be the best time to do it on. I thought I was going to have plans that day so I told him I would prefer to have it done the day after, Saturday.

Location Alliston, Ontario The days were passing so slowly I couldn't bare it anymore. All I wanted was to get my 100 needles in my back. Instead of doing class work or even paying attention to my teacher I would be drawing out new patterns that I wanted on my back. It took me so long to figure it out. The one I ended up choosing was the simplest of all; the corset. At first I wanted something that extended from my back to my front but then I thought I don't think I bought enough needles or I don't think anyone wants to see my chest.
My birthday came!Yay! Unfortunately I had to write an exam on it. Well afterwards I went home, sat down at my computer, and started chatting. As usual Russ was online so we started talking about my plans for the play piercings. Apparently his schedule got pretty booked Saturday so he asked me if I wanted to come to the studio and do it today. Of course I couldn't refuse. I was so excited. I had forty-five minutes to get ready so I took a shower you know the usual and voila Russ was in my driveway waiting for me. I rushed to put my shoes on, almost fell into the wall again, and ran out the door.
We finally got to the studio but he had to stop by at Giant Tiger (my future employers hopefully) to get some soap and pop. This was torture!!!! I couldn't stand to wait any longer. He finally paid for his stuff and off to the studio we went. Even the little minute walk it took to get to the studio was torture. I'm very impatient and don't like to wait for any of my piercings.
I'm sitting in Russ's office now talking to him while Gary (the new tattoo guy) is tattooing some guy. Eventually our conversation moved to the room were he does the piercings and in no time I had my shirt off, my back cleaned, and the lines to guide the needles drawn. I'm very twitchy so having my back cleaned made me twitch like crazy. It was actually quite amusing. Finally came the time for Russ to shove a needle through my back. "Take a deep breath in and exhale"...and then the needle went in. I couldn't believe how much it didn't hurt. I took another deep breath in, exhaled, and in went the second one. Even the second one didn't hurt. After that one I told him to just shove them in, no need for deep breathing, I was doing great. In hardly any time Russ shoved 80 needles into my back to form the corset. 20 needles were left so he placed 10 of them on either side of my back and the rest we had special plans for. I bought black ribbon so Russ laced me up, took lots of pictur es and there it was my beautiful corset. It felt great having all of those needles in me. I still want them in me.
After the pictures where taken of my back I went back on the moving padded table and Russ started to take each one out. We were both hoping for a lot of blood. I was bleeding but not as much as I was hoping. Oh well at least I bleed a bit. We took more pictures of me bleeding and Russ even gave it that extra touch by writing BME in the blood. I though that was quite nice.
Now was time to shove 10 more needles in me because we didn't use all of them up. At first we were going to place them in my forehead but then we figured out that my skin didn't have much give up there. After thinking for about 30 seconds about what we were to do for the rest of the needles we decided to shove them through my eyebrows. Five needles in each eyebrow. I also expected these to hurt but as I should have known, they didn't hurt at all. Those went in; we took some pictures and then took them out. This time I was bleeding all over the place. Finally some blood! I was waiting for this. We took some more pictures and then I got all cleaned up.
This was by far the best birthday gift I have ever gotten. It was fun and exciting. I set a new personal record of how many piercings I can get in one shot and I actually feel a bit better about myself. This will definitely not be last time I do this and maybe next time I'll do two boxes of needles instead of just one.
