It all started back in September when I decided to get my tongue pierced, and as everyone here knows... body modifications become extremely addicting. A month later I got a tattoo, a month after that my naval pierced, and suddenly I found myself thinking about getting my nipple done. I don't know where the idea came from, but as soon as I had it in my head I knew it was going to be my next piercing and only a matter of time before I had it done. I was just waiting for the right time and enough courage to go to my piercer Steve at Schmatta here in Saskatoon. That time came when my best friend from Edmonton came down to visit one weekend.
At A Glance Author InnocentAngel Contact InnocentAngel@bme.anon When A month ago Artist Steve Studio Schmatta Location Saskatoon, Saskatchewan I'm the wilder of the two of us, but she's the support I needed and so with her there I decided that weekend was going to be it. We made plans to do it Friday, but of course I put it off. It's not so much the fear of pain, but taking my shirt off infront of a total stranger made me feel a little uneasy. Saturday morning however I was in the zone and knew it had to be then. I woke up feeling excited and woke up both Rob and Jen and told them to get dressed because today was the day and right then was the time. As we drove downtown I felt fine besides being a little nervous I get everytime I get a body modification. We finally got to the place and couldn't find parking anywhere so Rob dropped me and Jen off outside the store to find parking while we walked in to talk to Steve. When we got inside I walked up to Steve and asked him if he had any room for a piercing and he asked what kind and I swear that as soon as I said nipple everyone in the store (which is a popular clothing and jewelry store also) turned to look at me. He said he had no bookings until the afternoon and he led me to the back piercing room and asked me if I wanted Jen to come in. Not caring since Jen is my best friend and it would help me relax a bit I told her to get her butt in there. He started to go over the piercing procedure with me and had me remove my shirt and bra. Amazingly I wasn't at all embarrassed or uncomfortable as I first thought I would be especially since I have a smaller chest and a little self-concious about it at times, while other times I'm perfectly fine with it and like it being smaller.
Steve took a look then told me as he started to wash his hands, glove up, and set up his equipment that he was going to be using a 14g CBR and asked which nipple I wanted to be pierced. He then had me stand up as he cleaned my nip and then placed a dot on both sides where he was planning on piercing. He kept examining it and waited until he had it perfect and slightly slanted to compliment my body better (which I really like) until he finally had me lie down on the piercing table where he took a few more seconds making sure it looked good even when I was lying down until he finally was satisfied with it. By this time I'm so nervous about it that I'm almost to the point of backing down but I wouldn't let myself. Steve clamped me up and talked me through it all. He told me he was lining up the holes in the clamp, and after a couple of seconds he told me to start taking lots of deep breaths and to get lots of oxygen into my system. Jen asked if I wanted to hold her hand and I told her to keep it away from me cause if it hurts as bad as I think it's going to, it's gonna be broken. He placed a small sterile cork beside the clamp and told me to count to three and on the last exhale he was going to pierce. I swear those were the biggest breaths I can remember taking of my life and sure enough, I'm finally on my last inhale and I let it out...
"AHHHHH!!! THIS FUCKING HURTS!!!" is all that came out of my mouth. I don't remember yelling so loud in my whole life but that honestly was one of the worst and most intense pains I've ever felt. I kept breathing deeply and started laughing as soon as I could hear laughter coming from the main store from my scream. Steve pushed the needle out followed by the CBR. He closed the hoop on the ball, cleaned up the piercing and asked if I was dizzy at all. Since I wasn't he helped me stand up so I could look in the mirror and behold, my pierced nip. I couldn't believe I actually went through with it and I turned to show Jen and she had the same big grin I had on my face. Steve sheepishly asked if he could get a picture of it since no other girls allowed him to and they didn't have any in the store portfolio. Now don't ask me why it's such a big deal to have a picture taken of your boobs especially when your face isn't shown and it's one of the least things you can do to s ay thank you. I proudly let him take a picture of his handi-work and we after going over aftercare and getting a pamplet we left to pay and go shopping for the rest of the day.
Two weeks later on my next payday, I was back in there again to get my second one done. Steve ushered me in the backroom and told me he had a suprise. Hanging on the piercing room wall was my one breast covered in hair, and my other breast freshly pierced, and to top it off he had it framed. After getting them both pierced, he took another picture of both breasts pierced and had it hanged in the other location here in Saskatoon. If anyone is thinking about getting it done, trust me, it's totally worth it. 2 seconds of pain, for something that looks deadly and feels awesome. Steve told me that I had really sensetive nipples before I had it done and afterwards it's only going to heighten them... he was right and damn these babies are great in foreplay! So get out there and get them done!!
