I, like many of you all, am obsessed with body piercing. It all started when I pierced my ears for the second time and has progressed form there. I have wanted to pierce my nipple for a year now but couldn't since I was only 17. At first I swore that I'd never do my nipple but for some reason I decided that I had to for self confidence I guess and because it is something that I don't know anyone has (females). Seeing as I knew that I would also never do a genital piercing (but that too could change) my nipple is as extreme as I'm going for now. The sexual aspect I have read also intrigued me. I also wanted to get something that my mother couldn't and that only a select few would see. I researched and researched and finally turned 18 and decided that was my present to myself 2 days ago.

I have read many, many experiences and really that only way to tell how much pain is involved is to do it yourself. Some people have a high pain threshold and others don't. A friend described his nipple piercing as someone punching a hole through his heart. But really I wasn't afraid at all. I'm not having children so I'm never going to experience that pain and this would be that most painful thing that I'd ever do... or so I thought.
I went into "The Piercing Shop" in Brisbane as I have been there before to get my navel done. It is the cleanest and most professional piercing shop that I have seen and wouldn't pierce anything elsewhere. The staff there are really friendly too which made going in and taking my top off a little easier. I went in and sat down and had all the cleaning procedures said to me. This person's name was Roxanne. She had quite I few piercings and when I told her that this was my present to myself she said that she was going to do the same thing. She's not even 18! I couldn't believe it. Anyway, I then took off my top and put on a robe thing. Then Jackie came in and said that she remembered me and asked how the navel was going but it had gotten infected pretty badly and I had to take it out. She then came and sat down, cleaned my nipple and marked it. It felt strange cause I don't usually undress in front of strangers, let alone have them touch my boobs and she even asked to look at t he other one but it was fine... just had to think of why I was allowing her to do it and what the end result was going to be. She just fiddled around with it for a while and put the clamps on. I had read that it was painful to have the clamps on but it wasn't. It was the weirdest feeling of the whole experience but I only felt the pressure of it - no pain. She then told me to breathe and on exhaling she pushed the needle through. Here I am thinking ok, here comes that most painful thing ever in my life but instead it really just felt like a pinch. It was all over. She screwed the ball on and told me which way it went. Roxanne held a mirror over it so I could see my new piercing. I couldn't believe I had it in and with NO pain! Afterwards it just hurt for a little while and that was it, not painful but just uncomfortable. I've felt nothing since.
I'm very happy that I got it done and you may think that I'm weird for being disappointed with the lack of pain but hey, it makes the piercing more appreciatative cause of what you went through to get it. I have to wear padded bras now so Mum doesn't notice but I wore a white, thin one today so I could show everyone at school. I've scared quite a few people. :) I love it cause it does shock people and is something that is a personal achievement. I now just have to try and hide it when I go swimming with my family. Oh well, it is my nipple - what can she do? Anyway, to anyone thinking of getting a nipple piercing - just because I had no pain doesn't mean a thing. Everyone is different but if you are thinking of having this piercing done - it do!!!! Not only does it look absolutely gorgeous but you'll feel so much better about yourself. It also gives you a wild, crazy appeal to people you have just met. I'm now just waiting for all the other advantages for having it done to ki ck in! ;)
