Nipple or Not

At A Glance Author anonymous Contact poofpat@hotmail.com Artist unknown Studio Brçvibas Iela, Tatoo studio Location Brçvibas Iela; Riga; Latvia

My boyfriend and I had decided to get some body art done. I already had many things done, Tattoos and numerous body piercings. My boyfriend was a virgin to the experience. He wanted to get his tongue pierced and I finally picked up the courage to get my nipples pierced.

I had one of them done in the U.K. before I moved to Latvia as I was woried about the infection control procedures in a developing country. However, within three days my nipple became infected and I had to remove the stud.

The studio did not look dirty and the strerilization precautions where as good as any in Britian, so I decided to 'go for it'. It was all over in about five minutes and I had two new nipples. The artist took me into his room; lay me down on the bed. Then he cleaned, shaved and cleaned again my nipples. He took the pincers and clampped it to my nipple. He asked me if I wanted to watch and to my surprise I said "Yes". I had never watched before when I had a piercing; I could not and still can not understand why I wanted to at that time. I guess I was scared about reinfection and was also a little bit curious as to what it looked like. I am training to be a sugical Podiatrist so I have saw blood before, it was not the attraction of that. There was just something slightly erotic about this that I do not get at work deeling with legs and feet all day. The needle went through easily. with only a second of pain. But that second was long enough to activate something in me that I feel has been repressed for most, if not all of my teenage years and now into my twenties. Feeling have now been awoken that not only arous me they also scare me. I now live in a post communist country. Thing here are a great deal different to the way things are in Britian. Here, even being Gay was an arrestable offence up to five year ago. So mutalation is a definate no- no. Everything is underground. There is only two body art studios in the whole of Latvia. The people here have a feel of the unknown and I have to admit; so did I until recently. I have seven piercings in my ear, my nose is also done ( all of which where done by myself after too much alcohol). I have eyebrow; tongue and naval pierced as well. None of these gave or indeed still give me the Pleasure or satisfaction that my new nipples give me.

It was very strange for me because for the first time while getting a piercing or a tattoo, I found it to be a sexually arousing experience. For the first time now I can understand fully the pleasure- pain attraction that comes with body art as well as the gratification that you get from the adrenalin rush during the procedure. For me; it was a great sexual experience without the "mess", it was orgasmic.

My boyfriend gets the same feelings as I do about his tongue. Unfortunatly I do not. I have become so acccustomed to it that I do not get the same pleasure from that. Although; I do not regret getting it, I do not regret any of my art work. He is constantly playing with is. I do enjoy when we kiss as the studs click against each other and the noise and feeling is something amazing.

It has now been two months since I got this done, The sensation that you get from even a t-shirt rubbing against your nipples when you walk is amazing. I can be walking down the street thinking about work and my nipples suddenly become erect, then other parts of my anatomy become aroused. The sensation is very had to explain as with my feelings now. All I know is that I now have this yearning for something more. I do not know what this is or where to find it. I guess it is going to be a sort of trial and error thing until I find something that is suitable not only for me, but something that my boyfriend finds equally as satisfying, if not more as I prefere him to be sexually fulfilled. I am not bothered about me having an orgasm. I actually find it more atractive when I make him have an orgasm and then just walk away; But that is a different story!

I am now looking into other forms of body art including scarification and would love to no more about the subject. I would also like to know more about S+M and other 'strange' sexual practices.

Anyone who is unsure about getting there nipples pierced in my opinion should do it. It is something that I do not think anyone would regret.
