I had just turned 18 years old and I wanted a new piercing. At that point in my life, I wasn't very happy and I knew this would be the perfect time to get a new piercing. Caring for a piercing and admiring the new aesthetic modification of my body seems to get my mind off things that I'd rather not think about.
At A Glance Author amy Contact amy@bme.anon When Three months ago Artist Kevin Studio Infinite Location Philadelphia, PA I wasn't sure what exactly I wanted to get pierced. I knew I wanted my nipples pierced eventually. I've always considered them highly attractive on both men and women. I was also considering a more visible piercing (lip), but I decided against it because of scarring and occupational reasons. So, I finally decided on getting my nipples pierced.
I was at a club, talking with a guy [Matt] who is a friend of a friend and I didn't know him too well, but we'd joke and say how alike we are and that we should get married. We started talking about piercings. He told me he wanted to get his nipples pierced and I was like "Me too!" and he said "I'm all about it if you are...how about we go on Tuesday?" and I said that it sounded like a good plan to me. Later that night, he emailed me and made final plans for Tuesday.
That Monday, I decided it'd be a good idea to take a trip to the city and go down to Infinite Body Piercing to check the prices for the piercing and get my nipples looked at to make sure I could have the type of jewelry that I wanted. I was helped by Kevin; he was very professional and friendly. I told him that I'd probably be back the next day and he said that he'd be there.
Tuesday I met up with Matt at a friend of ours house [Tim's] who also wanted to get his nipple re-pierced and I brought along my friend Liz who *must* be present during any piercing I get (she loves to watch). So, the four of us drove to South Street and proceeded to Infinite.
Matt, Tim and I all had our ID's checked and we filled out the necessary paperwork. The wait was only about 5 to 10 minutes, not bad at all. Kevin called us back and we decided who would come in with me and watch. We thought we could all probably watch, but we were only allowed 2 people. So, Matt and Liz came with me. Kevin took us back to a room that was essentially the same as any doctor's office, very clean and neat. Kevin went over aftercare and set up two separate trays, changing gloves multiple times through the whole procedure. Again, a very friendly guy, he was carrying a conversation with us the whole time and made me feel comfortable.
He asked who wanted to go first. Matt was so excited, he volunteered right away, "me! I'll go first!" he said. Kevin marked Matt up and gave him his own sharpie marker when he was finished marking. Kevin cleaned the area and put the clamp on, pushed the needle through on an exhale and nipple #1 was finished. Matt seemed to experience no discomfort. And onto #2 and Matt was finished and it was my turn.
I stood up and took off my shirt and bra, I wasn't too nervous, but I was a little. Kevin marked me standing up, marking the right first and then the left. He didn't like the mark he made on the left one, explaining that you have to be careful where you mark a female's nipple because of the way that they twist slightly when they are hard. So he re-marked, cleaned the area, gave me my marker, put the clamp on. Asked me if I was ok and if I was ready, told me to take a deep breath and he was going to pierce on the exhale. Matt was holding my hand at the time. I was paying a little too much attention to the needle as it was going through. OUCH! Goddamn, that hurt! The needle went through Matt's nipple effortlessly, but a woman's nipple has more tissue to go through. It only took about two seconds or less to go through, but, it seemed a little tougher than Matt's.
Initially, I was a little shocked at the way it felt. It hurt, but it wasn't really too bad. Kevin asked me if I was ok and if I needed a break between the next nipple and explained that there's no rush and it's ok if I need a little break. He asked if I was feeling hot, or nauseous, etc. he also asked me if I wanted something to drink and I said sure so he got me some Gatorade. Matt was jealous, I got Gatorade! ...hehehe. :o) ..... I took a small break between my two nipples and we were onto the second one. The second one really wasn't too bad, Matt tried his best to distract me and it worked. And I was done! Then it was Tim's turn. Liz went to watch Tim and Matt and I went outside for a smoke.
"Now we're married, those are our rings." I said and laughed. We tried to hug but it was a little difficult being that I was a little sore. He was pretty excited about his piercings and he was barely sore at all. We stood outside and talked to some other people about their piercings and what they were getting or had just gotten done, waiting for Tim and Liz.
It's been about 3 months now since we had gotten our nipples pierced. Not much longer after that, we started dating. We've been almost inseparable ever since and a strong bond of companionship has and is developing between us. If not for our new piercings, this might not have happened. On our first "date", I guess you could call it that now, we got matching piercings and we care for eachother's piercings. Now how romantic is that? :o)
I love my new nipples. They feel great and they look great. Sensual and concealable. And they look cool in a tight shirt too!
