About a year ago I was thinking about what I could get pierced. I wanted something not a lot of people I knew had done. I was at BME looking through pictures and I saw a picture of a female with her nipples pierced. It looked very unique and attractive. I was not sure if a nipple piercing was for me, but I researched it and the more I learned and the more pictures I saw I realized it was the perfect piercing.
At A Glance Author Megan Contact Megan@bme.anon When A year ago Artist Carrie Studio Cafe Earth Location Great Falls, Montana I went to my local shop, Café Earth, and talked to Carrie, the woman who would pierce me. She told me about the procedure, the risks, and how to take care of my piercing. I felt very comfortable with Carrie and I felt that the shop was sterile and a decent place to get pierced. I decided to schedule an appointment to get pierced. I was to go back in three days.
As the days went by I was nervous, but also very excited. The day of my appointment, I ate a decent breakfast and drank lots of juice. I went to Café Earth and when I got there I went through all of the paper work. I was feeling anxious. Next, I was taken into a white room. We looked through all of the jewelry, trying to pick out the best type for me. I decided to go with just a plain metal captive ball and ring. I only wanted a 16 gage for my nipples. I then watched Carrie take out all the equipment, making sure everything was sterile. I took of my top and bra. My heart was beating extremely fast. I was sure this was going to be the most painful experience ever, especially since I have a very low tolerance for pain. Carrie then clamped my left nipple first. She told me to take a deep breath in, and then out. On the out breath she slid the needle through. It did not hurt as bad as I thought it was going to. Then she clamped my right nipple and pierced it. I star ted laughing after she was done. I was so thrilled with my new piercing. Even though they were bleeding, my new piercing looked excellent! She gave me after care products and again told me how to take care of my piercing. I paid the $75 I owed and left her a $5 tip for doing an excellent job. I left feeling great!
I followed her instructions carefully. I made sure I cleaned my nipples very well. After a couple of weeks I started slacking on my cleaning. I began to notice that my left nipple ring was migrating. I left it alone for a while and cleaned it regularly again, hoping it would stop moving forward. After a week, I realized I needed to go get it looked at. I went back into Café Earth and talked to Carrie. She told me the best thing to do was to take it out and let it heal. I asked what would happen if I did not take it out. She warned me that my nipple could actually end of splitting. That the last thing that I wanted to happen, so I took it out. I was very disappointed that I only had one nipple pierced now. Carrie told me that if I let it heal and promised to take better care of it that she would re-pierce it for free.
Finally my piercing was healed! I went back in a month later. I filled out the lovely paper work, and got escorted into the familiar white room. I was just as nervous getting it pierced for a second time as I was getting it pierced the first time. After she pierced it, I felt like a fool for thinking it was going to be an excruciating pain I was going to feel, even though I knew it was not going to hurt that bad. I was very happy that I now had BOTH nipples pierced. I am taking very good care of my nipple piercing now. Since then five months have past and I have not had a problem. My nipple piercings are looking as good as ever. I even got new rings with blue crystals in the balls put it.
If you are thinking about getting your nipples pierced...GO FOR IT! It is a great and very fun piercing. Plus it is awesome in foreplay! Do not get me wrong; it is not a pain free piercing. It did not hurt as bad as I thought it was going to but it still hurt. Just remember to take EXTRA good care of your piercing, no matter what you have pierced. Also find a shop and professional piercer. Since the nipples are an intimate part of your body, the last thing you want is some pervert fondling you. Just make sure the shop is sterile and you are comfortable with your piercer.
