i was first 15 years old when I had gotten my nipples pierced. I had gone with my best friend of the time to get them done. It seemed like a good piercing – it was hidden well and I actually liked them. Not to mention I was 15 years old, and then I didn't want my parents knowing about any piercing I was about to get. I had gone to a local piercing shop to get them done, I was young and surprisingly they didn't ask for id from me, or my friend. i remember the pain that I encountered, they were sore and I screamed. It was nothing like I had expected. I was pleased with my new piercing and I was glad that I had gotten them. But I was not in store for what was about to happen over the next 4 years.
At A Glance Author lisa. Contact lisa.@bme.anon When Six months ago Artist jon. Studio new tribe. Location toronto I had gotten my nipples pierced on may 1st, and by Christmas time my left nipple was rejecting the piercing, I was upset and really did not want to go through everything else I had been through when I first got them pierced. The healing, and cleaning seemed like a lot, (compared to my other piercing and the pain was unbearable. I ended up taking out the nipple piercing anyway, (the left one) and waiting for it to close over. After about 6 months I went to new tribe downtown where I had decided to get my left nipple pierced again at new tribe. Joanne had pierced it and she told me that now, the piercing wouldn't reject as much because it was pierced behind scar tissue. I agreed and went along with the second painful procedure, but little did I know that this still wouldn't be the end of my piercing.
By now, the right nipple was rejecting and the left one was pierced deep, it was very painful, always infected and I didn't enjoy cleaning it so much. Eventually I had to take out the right nipple because once again, my body was rejecting it.
I had kept my left nipple pierced because it was set back nicely, it wasn't rejecting – it was just healing slowly. So eventually I was stuck with now just the left nipple pierced. I was fed up by now, and I was thinking that for sure my nipples were not meant to be pierced. By this time I was 17 and I'd had them in and out for 3 years.
My left nipple was once again rejecting, and I was fed up. I told myself I was taking out the left piercing and NOT getting them repierced. I wasn't going to go through all of this again, I certainly was not meant to have my nipples pierced.
After a year of having them out and thinking that I would never get them pierced again a boyfriend of the current time wanted to get his pierced, I explained to him the pain and all the procedures you have to take in cleaning and making sure it doesn't get infected. He still wanted to go through with it, so we called new tribe once again and booked him an appointment for 2 days later. Eventually (like the next day) I had realized that I wanted mine pierced again too. It had been a year and I was sure that maybe, just maybe this time my nipples would actually heal properly, and that they would work out. So I called back new tribe, and had booked an appointment at the same time as my boyfriend.
On the way to the city I was having second thoughts, not just about the pain or anything – but the whole procedure of the pierced nipple. This was going to be my third time getting my nipples pierced; I hoped that this time it would work out.
We had gotten into new tribe and found out that Jon was going to be piercing us, before Joanne had done it. By this time I had my lip and septum pierced by Jon, so I was comfortable with him piercing my nipples. I had told him all about the other times and what was happening with my infections, and he assured me (once again) that the piercing will be behind scar tissue and will heal properly. So I went ahead and got them pierced again. It was painful, probably the most painful of a piercing that I'd ever gotten. I forgot how much it hurt! After that I was so please with them, they were pierced properly and now I want to get them done vertically instead, I can never make up my mind.
New tribe was an awesome place to get pierced, I've never been tattooed there but I'm really impressed with their prices and their staff, they really helped me and told me what was wrong with my nipple piercing and how I could take care of it.
