I started to like piercings when I was maybe 20, but in the beginning I never thought about getting pierced myself. Some time later I had a girlfriend who also liked piercings and she always tried to convince me to get one myself...but I never did (don't ask me why, I think I hadn't been ready at this time, something like I was afraid of the reactions of others, stupid I know now). After she quit with me it only took four weeks to finally get my first piercing...in my tongue. And of course I loved it from the beginning and still do now! This was a bit more than three years ago.
At A Glance Author Thomy Contact tforn@gmx.de When Three months ago Artist didn't ask Studio Choice Location Köln, Germany After my first I always wanted more piercings...but never had the guts to do it and especially not a visible one. I'm working in a job where piercings really don't fit...and non visible piercings I didn't like back then. But a bit more than a year ago a friend of mine got her nipple pierced and that was the point I started liking that thought...and not long after I got both my nipples pierced. After that I was quite happy with my piercings...but of course that feeling didn't last very long.
So after moving to Cologne and the ending of another relationship (she had her tongue, labret and monroe by the way) I wanted to get something new again. And this time it should be something less common. Somewhere in my mind I always wanted my septum pierced because I think it just a great place for some metal in your face but you also can hide it.
So I looked in some magazines for a piercing studio with a good reputation and so it happened that I went to Choice some day (the other piercings I did in my old town too far away, at least for German distances). I asked some questions to get feel for the guy, unfortunately I don't know his name since I never asked for it. But I really liked him and decided to come back on a Friday after work to get my fourth piercing. So two days later I was back. I had to wait some time until he had finished a tattoo, but then it was my turn. He prepared all his "tools" and of course everything was very clean. I would never get a piercing if I had any doubts on that because although piercings are very important to me my health is even more! Anyway, back to the actual action...after finishing the preparations he told me what he would do and I told him that I wanted to lie down since I always had some blood pressure problems when getting pierced. Then he looked for the right spot inside my nose and marked it. The worst thing of the whole piercing came next when he put the cold stuff in my nose to stun it. That was a really uncomfortable feeling! After that he told me to take a deep breath and...the needle was in and through my nose. I had my eyes closed because I'm afraid of needles (strange isn't it?), but at this moment I thought oh yes I really did it and I had to take a look. And there it was...I could see the piercing needle in my nose. And that was great! And to be honest...It didn't hurt at all, but I think if you really want a piercing it never hurts...
I felt it when he entered the piercing but you can't call that pain at all...and he said: "That's it." I stayed on the couch for some more minutes to be sure not to fall on the ground. But I felt really good and of course I couldn't wait to look in the mirror...and there it was! And it looked great, I really loved it! One shiny ball in each side of my nose....
He told me about the aftercare and gave me two bottles with special liquids for it. After paying him I walked through the city and felt so good...like a small child getting a new toy...but somehow it's the same I think. I got some strange looks from different people what was a new experience for me since my other piercings are not visible...strange feeling but l really liked it at that moment. They looked at me and I thought "yes, there is some metal in my nose!". After some time it hurt a bit but that was really bearable. Worst thing was eating a whopper for dinner. I cleaned the piercing as told twice a day and healing went absolutely without any problems. I even could clean my nose without problems, of course carefully. But all in all I really can recommend this piercing, I doesn't hurt (except you touch your nose forgetting there is something), healing was (at least for me) easy and in Germany it is a piercing that not many people actually have.
I really love all my piercings and I really want more, but unfortunately I'm restricted due to my job which I like, too so I only consider more hidden body modifications. I plan to get my navel pierced next and maybe something a bit more down although I'm quite afraid of that. But I know myself and therefore I'm sure it will happen one day. What I will do for sure is getting a tribal tattoo covering almost everything I can hide in working life, and if you consider me wearing a suit you can imagine it will be a big tattoo! You can be curious (I'm too) what will happen to my addiction and what I will look like in some years...just email me and I'll tell you!
