At A Glance Author The Tick Contact The Tick@bme.anon When A week ago Artist can't remember Studio Lucky Devil Location London, ON Nipples, everybody's got them, you, me, my dog, even my fish...well, do fish have nipples? I don't think they suckle which is weird cause their lips are always puckered like they do. Anyway, I've got my eyebrow, lobes, tongue, labret (pierced, lost, pierced, lost again), and foreskin which I wrote about.
When I got my labret done in a town called Chatham Ontario, the piercer was tried to convince me to get my nipples done because according to him they're his favourite because they give him titty hard ons 24/7. I graciously declined because I didn't want to deal with level of pain and the fact that they take forever to heal, but I was interested but it was not to be, yet.
A couple years go by, I since moved to London Ontario, and I got my tongue pierced at a place called Lucky Devil. They did a great job, were friendly and all that stuff that keeps people coming back. A few months after that I moved back to Chatham for employment reasons, but before I fully moved I was perusing this site (been a fan of it for a while) and I was looking at and reading nipple experiences and then it hit me, I want them done, and NOW! I called Lucky Devil and made an appointment for 2 pm that day (it's 12 at this point). I went down to the bank machine to get the $85 it would cost to get both nipples pierced, but...I was broke, luckily somebody left $20 in the machine, so I got a free $20. Still, $20 wasn't gonna get me pierced and I wasn't gonna get a buddy or myself to do my nips.
I went to borrow some flow from some friends, denied all around, dammit, everybody's broke. I was thinking of pawning stuff, but I thought no...wait, I'll pawn stuff! I took like 6 Nintendo 64 games in and got like $20...i was pissed, only had $40. So I was thinking and thinking of what I have that I'd be willing to sell, I've got a kick ass entertainment system, DVD, surround, big tv and all that but I wasn't gonna let those go, I'm a musician so I've got plenty of that stuff that's worth some cash. I had a Morley wah pedal that I never used and I paid nothing for. I bought a different pedal from a guy, didn't pay him, traded it in for the Morley and he forgot about the other one...he's a moron folks. So I go to 4 different pawn shops before somebody gives me what I need for it.
Now, I've finally got enough money but one problem...my appointment was for 2, it's now 4:30, and I was worried about missing it. I headed down to the shop ready to give my best excuse and when I walked in I was surprised to see that there were no customers waiting or even being treated and the body piercer and the tattoo artist were playing chess in the window. The owner, Bonnie i think, asked if she could help me and I explained who I was and she told me she was calling me for a couple hours but couldn't reach me, I told her the story of the no money and the pawn shops and her being the nicest, kindest lady I ever met was very understanding. I paid, filled out the form and was ready to go, then Bonnie asked me if I had eaten in the past 4 hours, I hadn't because I had eaten in Chatham at 7 in the morning, a huge breakfast at the ST CLAIR RESTAURANT (best in Chatham...), and I wasn't hungry. She said I had to eat, I said if I eat I won't have enough for a tip, the pierc er told me to go eat, so I walked down to the burger king on the corner and got a burger, came back, and was told to come to the back room.
I took my shirt off and sat in the dentist chair and I asked him about credentials and that, although I had my tongue pierced here it was by someone else, and he said he's got his first aid and his Guinness book of world records and pointed to my right. I'm thinking what the hell and look and there's a newspaper article about him being in the Guinness Book of World Records for piercing some guy the most times in a single sitting. I don't remember how many but it took like 4 hours or something...I dunno. Anyway he marks me up and gets the stuff ready, clamps me on my left, I told him it was the most sensitive so to do it first. He asks if im ready, tells me to close my eyes and STAAAAAABBBB. Done. I barely felt it. The other ones turn, clamp and STAAAABBBBB. I felt this one but it wasn't bad at all. It was all over in a matter of 3 minutes at the most, with like 25 seconds between nipples. He gave me after care instructions, I didn't listen, or I should say I didn't hear because I was too amazed by my nipples with metal in them, damn they look sweet.
When I walked to the front of the shop Bonnie asked me how it went and on a scale of 1 to 10 what was the pain, I said 2 as it didn't hurt, me anyway. The tattoo artist said when he got his done he cried like a baby, I didn't doubt it...he looked like a crier. Bonnie gave me like 58568 business cards and an after care sheet that just told me to wash them with antibacterial soap twice a day and wash my hands before I touch them (to me that's a given), I said thanks and that I'd be back to give buddy a tip cause he deserves it. I went to my friends place to show them but everybody was gone.
So driving back to Chatham I was holding the seat belt out because it was irritating my man boobs, I was really aware of them at this point. In Chatham I picked up some antibacterial soap and some bactine, which I like because it does the bacteria killing of alcohol without drying out my skin and it worked on my other piercings, why not this one.
A week later, they're doing just fine. I showed my sister and she wants hers done too, she's gotta wait 2 years though, being she's only 16. When I had to pick her and her friend up somewhere she got in the back and her friend got in the front, which I thought was strange cause we never say more than hi to each other and my sister usually sits in the front. Then as we drive off it comes, "...So did it hurt?" haha, that's it, chicks dig 'em. I, in my most machismatic voice reply, "It's supposed to, but not me..." haha yeah I slay the ladies. She hung on my every word the whole ride home.
Peace, God Bless.
