It was my freshman year in college and I had an itch to do something new. I had been at a party all night, slept all day and I was still fucked up( a rave, i was higher than a kite and rollin)...well, I got the great idea to get my nipple pierced...not both..just one...I got it done at this little place in Russellville called the Gothic Gateway, they sell sex toys, weed pipes blah blah blah...stuff like that and they also do piercings.
At A Glance Author Tech Chick Contact Tech Chick@bme.anon Artist Brenda Studio Backroads Tatoo Location Russellville, AR 72801 this guy pierced it........oh my god.........i kinda liked the pain though....he pierced it with an 18 gauge ring....i didn't know any better...He also got it crooked and it built a lot of scar tissue...he butchered me. fast forward to summer....I was teaching swimming lessons and all the kids were asking what it was..so out of respect for their little minds, i took it out....
Over Christmas I went to Backroads and had them both done....scar tissue sucks.she had to fix the terrible job the Gothic Gateway had done.. the scar tissue was like pushing through rock!!!My goodness...you'da thought I was pushing a 12 pound kid out.i screamed, but i liked it....my nipples are so pretty!!!i love to lick them..it really helped with sensitivity... they still get a little ozzie sometimes and get crusties...how do I get it to completely heal?
I find myself touching them alot..probably why they crust up....
I want to get them streched...i have pretty big nipples. if i stretch, I can lick them.
My family and friends don't understand why i like them...they think it is self mutilation...i guess it kinda is. I am only in my body for 80 more years max, so why not make it pretty?i want to get branded...i want a cross, every time i look at it, it will remind me of my struggles in life...maybe keep me humble?
Also..the pain is a control thing for me. i chose it, had it done, it's mine and no one else's....it helps me to cope.i went through a long prcess of trying to deal with being raped, kicked out of the house and my parents spliting up...and now that i have come to terms with it, i want something that will remind me of the long, hard healing process...such as a brand or scar.
I want a cross because I have grown so much closer to God during my ordeal. I want a constant reminder of God and my faith in her.Sometimes i can feel myself growing up. I want a symbol of my faith, love, devotion and hope in Christianity. I want to look at my arm everyday and think of how far i have come. the brand is the way for me i think.
The only problem i see with it is, i want to teach public school...what if they find out about my body art, will that affect my job? Will they be tolerant of me? Will the kids freak on me?
Will the parents freak?...what am I so afraid of anyway?
When I was a kid, my dad had a fit when my ears were pierced....I want to tell him about the art, but I don't want to embarass him...that was always our rule growing up,don't do anything to embarass your family...
When I was sitting for my cousins, they had a pop up book with a tatoo'd man... my 3 year old cousin said that God doesn't like tatoo's....that sickened me...society telling SMALL KIDS not to enjoy their bodies..Why do we, as a society, put so much emphasis on following the crowd when it comes to our bodies. We are not supposed to follow when it comes to our dream, aspirations, careers...so why not our bodies....the most unique thing about us? Should I be ashamed of my body, or should I love it? I love it. Mine is not perfect, trust, with these stretch marks and phat rolls...I am a hottie...cute in the face, fat in the ass, slim in the waist...but the most in prtsnt thing is that i love and am comfterble with myself, that is most important.
yeah, it's gonna sag...it's gonna strech...it's gonna go south...why not enjoy it while you can. Live for the moment. If you spend your whole life worrying about the way your skin looks in the future, won't that give you lines?besides, I am gonna die of skin cancer anyhow, might as well make it pretty:)
