My first real piercing was my Industrial, which I got over 6 months ago and I totally love. Well one day shortly after getting my Industrial I said to a friend, jokingly, that I was going to get my nipples pierced. At the time however I wasn't even considering it and I actually thought it was way too weird for me to ever even attempt not to mention too painful. I would think about it and shudder at the thought of experiencing the pain of something like my Industrial in my nipples. However as time progressed and I joked about it more and more I began to think what if? At first though I asked all of my guy friends what they thought (I have to know what the opposite sex thinks right?) and some were freaked out, some loved the idea, and others said what about breast feeding? So I did some research and decided that I just had to get them done.
At A Glance Author Mignon Contact Mignon@bme.anon When A month ago Artist Tigger Studio Tiger Moon Location Dallas, Texas Now here is something you all need to know. My parents even though they are very cool people, we even own a biker bar so you can imagine the amounts of tattooed and pierced people they see everyday, have never liked my getting pierced. My first lobe piercing when I was 11 was fine even the second lobe when I was 13 was okay with them but since then it has been a constant struggle to get pierced. My third lobe was a battle as well as my two cartilage piercing and the industrial. And so this is the first piercing I have gotten without their permission or knowledge really.
Anyway back to my getting pierced. A good family friend and my piercer Tigger was the man who supervised my piercing (his apprentice actually pierced me) My friend Geerah and I went on the Sunday following Christmas to get my piercing, I had been putting it off for 2 days, we drove to Tiger Moon and I walked in and Tigger asked what he could do for me today and I told him I wanted my nipples pierced and that he couldn't tell my parents. He understood because he knows how my parents are about this stuff especially my dad. We went into the side room I sat on his table trying not to be so nervous, ha like that could happen. Tigger started to make fun of me as he usual does and told me that I was being stupid for being nervous and that pain is weakness leaving the body and so forth and so on and I kept thinking he should shut up and leave me alone until I realized that he was actually calming me down. By the time his apprentice came in I was already topless and feeling much less nervous until of course she started to take all of the needles and piercing implements out and I began to breath a little heavier again. It took her a couple minutes to line everything up but once she did she clamped my left nipple first, which hurt but not too badly, she gave me the standard breathe in and out routine and I did and suddenly a flash of pain ran through my nipple. I was grabbing Geerah's hand so hard, she is such a good friend, and then I began to shake a little waiting for the second one to happen and when it did it hurt worse that the first. All I could say was "oh oh oh oh god ok that one hurt a lot worse!!" to which Tigger replied "it's because you were expecting it" then I was done and I was so happy.
After the standard aftercare talk and paying a mere $40 (although I do get a discount) I was off. Geerah drove us back to meet her unknowing parents for dinner. The pain after the piercing was easily the worst part of the experience. The after pain was really really vivid and no-holds-barred, it stung very very bad for a few hours and I bled in my bra but I cant express just how happy I am with this piercing. I am so glad that I got it done and I would definitely do it over again in an instant. These newest piercings bring my total to 12 and while that should be enough for many it isn't for me. However I am having trouble deciding whether I want to get my tragus pierced next or take some time off. However the real problem is if I get one tragus pierced then my total will be 13 and I cant have that so if I get one done I will really have to get both so as not to have only 13 piercings. Oh the whoas of a pierced kid, oh well.
