Hi,
At A Glance Author B Contact B@bme.anon When A week ago Artist myself Studio at home Here's the story of the small nipples that finally could. As long as I can remember, I've been fascinated by piercings. Not so much the jewelry or the look, even though that's obviously a big part of it, but most of all the idea of making a permanent hole in the body is something that intrigues me. I remember being a kid and always looking at girls' earrings and wanting to stand behind them in order to see the metal coming out on the other side of the earlobes. When the navel-piercing craze hit, I was of course completely taken away by it and all of a sudden had a new place to direct my attention when looking at girls (for we are, all the time, us guys. Most of us, at least.)
Anyway, I have been thinking about getting something done for a long time now, but unfortunately several circumstances prevents me from having anything visible done, and also, yes, I'm a chicken and can't help thinking about what people would think when finding my nipple pierced by a piece of metal. I am unfortunately the kind of person who cares too much about what people think of me.
When I was about 16, I was in the habit of placing earrings and stuff on my nipples to enjoy the look. One day, I finally did go all the way and pierced both of them with a simple sewing needle and put in a couple of old earrings "borrowed" from a friend. Knowing that what I was doing was not exactly safe, I nevertheless took out the rings after a couple hours and let it heal. I developed the habit, however, of doing this rather frequently, and after a while, the holes seemed to heal a little and I could put in the rings without the use of a needle first.
This continued for several years, me having my little secret and telling absolutely nobody about it. That is, until I met my current girlfriend, who I've been with for about 2 years now. One night I decided to shock her and put in the rings without telling her first, and when she found out, she almost screamed. After having calmed her down, however, she seemed to sort of accept it. Like it, though, she didn't. Not at all. After a couple of times, though, she became more adventurous and even decided to play with it a bit and so on. Well, of course I rather liked the feeling, and decided to have it done permanently, thinking also that I could always hide it or take the rings out if necessary.
Now, not having a lot of money is in the way of getting pierced if you live in Denmark. Having just one nipple done would take away 25% of the money I have for each month (being a student) and so I decided that since I was almost an expert (haha), I would do it myself. I got on the internet, found a piercing kit on Ebay and ordered it very cheaply. Once it arrived, I was of course very excited but at the same time wanted to do it when my girlfriend was around (she lives in Belgium at the moment) and decided to wait.
Well, she came to see me about a week ago, and I took out the kit and told her that now was the time. After a bit of talking about it, she was ok with it and agreed to watch and help me. I sterilized everything properly and went ahead with the procedure. The needle went in easily, and I used the ring to push it through, as I've seen it described on BME. Well, the whole thing took about 5 minutes, after which I had beautiful pierced nipples. I've been cleaning them thoroughly ever since, and they seem to be healing nicely, without any problems.
After having seen the final result, my girl has actually grown to like the piercings, and even think it rather sexy. She'll have to wait awhile with playing with them, though, but as she went back to Belgium yesterday, I guess that's ok. She did tell me, though, that she would get SOMETHING pierced for when I go to see her in 2 weeks. Needless to say, I can't wait.
After having my nipples done, I have noticed that I have grown a little more confident and don't really care about what people think anymore. My roommate is probably the most conservative guy I know, and I've been parading around, proudly strutting my nipples in front of him and couldn't care less. The same applies to the people at school, who of course have noticed the "extra nipples" beneath my regular ones, who are, to be fair, rather big and almost always hard. Even more so now, and I'm proud of it. Thank you nipple rings.
