During high school, like every other classmate of mine, i experienced the agitating, yet necessary and at times quite silly effects of growth spurts and overall sexual development. For reasons that were seemingly explained to me as an overbearing estrogen presence, my body produced what are known as "breast buds". During my time of personal development I was extremely self conscious of all the aspects of my body, which later led to eating disorders and constant muscle destruction. All throughout my years enrolled in extremely conservative, overly-regulated christian institutions, I longed to rent the dam blocking my progress in two, and run as wild as i knew my heart wished to. Throughout my sophomore and remaining years in school I consistently entertained the idea of getting my nipples pierced, yet, upon discussion with my parents and some of my peers, was greeted with extreme distaste and overall conservative apprehension.
At A Glance Author slipapapo When Three months ago Artist Todd Studio Sacred heart Location Georgia After college began I approached all the aspects of my life with extreme forethought, although still moving in the directions I knew my heart wished when opportunities presented themselves. After constant thought for about 5 months, i decided it was time to go ahead and do it. In atlanta, the place for everyone with a stomach for variety is most certainly little five points, with something for a seeker of any interest. I decided to visit a few of the piercing shops around little five despite the fact that the first girl i spoke with told me my nipples were pretty and wanted to perform the procedure for sixty-five dollars. At the time I had no knowledge of prices, people, or anything in the vein of piercing, so, after looking elsewhere and hearing "100$" and more, I returned, only to find that she had gone, a man taking her place.
I am quite positive that this girl, showing interest, initiative, and concern for me would most definetly have done an exemplary job with my nipples. However this fellow was clearly concerned with making sure that the correct amount of cash came his way, which I of course could understand. After we haggled for a minute on price and got the paper-work out of the way, He led me to the chair, where he told me to remove my shirt. We hadn't spoken at all on the angle of the piercing, the depth, or any alternate options than my pre-conceived notion. He already had me swabbed and the needle out before i said "so, we're goin' laterally here, right?" he responded by agreeing with whatever fashion I wished. I informed him this was to be my first time being pierced and assumed that all piercers must work this fast and this confidently, devoid of conversation with their client. He first pierced my left nipple, and with a wonderful bout of attempted hyper-ventilation, the pain soon disap peared. The left nipple was done perfectly, flawless. To this day, it still looks to be a very good job.
Now, the right is a different matter, when he did the right, i accidentally spit, or sprayed, or misted, (I'm not quite sure of the correct term) on the poor fellow. He seemed quite agitated and quickly finished the job, yet, instead of coming out on the same side as the other aereola's exit site, was a lot closer to the actual nipple, resulting in a slightly uneven insertion. I'm not unhappy with it, because they're both symmetrical, however, I think the experience could and would have been much more positive for myself as the client if I would have been consulted and made to feel as if I were piercing myself. I am extremely satisfied with the job, they never became infected, and have remained a decision that I am proud of. Due to the piercing I feel more complete, more at home and confident with my appearance in contrast to the previous condition of my chest.
If you are considering a piercing or tattoo, (the latter of which is a decision which should be made only by those sure of their course and confident of their direction) approach your ideal piercing shop with a grand deal of personal preference involved. Assert yourself and what you want to be seen as, this is your cash, your body, your special moment, and it needs to be perfect, so invest your time, effort, and thought into the location and person conducting your operation. Also, the reason you approach the augmentation of your body with should not be the justification of "being wild", or doing something outrageous, this will only lead to dissatisfaction. This type of action is meant to be embraced by some individuals, others are not destined for it and will disdain it for it's necessity of personal maturity, competence, and responsibilty. This is an area of life where, just like art, psychedelics, and music, some will not belong and feel ostracized due to the seeming ec centricty of their own person, or others around them. If one does not come to this lifestyle with a clear, focused mindset, then there will be no progress, no forward motion, just useless mind-fucking, leading nowhere.
