It has been a dream of mine to finally get my nipples pierced. My parents have always kinda of been against my want for piercings and my nipples were one of the first on their "NO WAY" list. My dad made up excuses like I'd have permanently hard nipples for the rest of my life and that I would lose all the feeling in my nipples. But after I did tons of research on nipple piercing and the risks, and the procedure and aftercare, I wasn't to worried. Personally for me it wasn't the getting them done that I minded *bring on the pain* it was the getting half naked in front of some chick or guy I barley knew. That all changed when I moved to a new town and i got to know the piercing shop downtown and actually and became friends with them. Now I just had to get up the nerve to get half naked in front of a girl i knew.

BC Finally that day came, I just happened to be talking to the piercer, Sheena, about how I wanted to get my nipples done really badly, and to my surprise she said she would pierce them for me so of course I asked when was the soonest she could do them for me. And her response was, "well when I'm not busy", and me being like a little kid looked around the shop jumped up and was like "We're not busy!" so just like that we walked into that back, we washed our hands and I helped Sheena set up her station then I took my shirt off and we were ready to go. I was not nervous taking my shirt off in front of sheeena, which was weird for me. But i suppose I wasn't nervous because she's a girl and she made me feel really comfortable and I knew no one else would come into the room.
Sheena first asked me if I wanted one or both, and after a second of thinking sheena said I should get both, I agreed saying that it would make me look uneven if I had just one done. next was to decide how to put them, horizontal, vertical or diagonal. Right away when she said diagonal, I knew that was the way for me, it's not as common as far as I know and I like to be a little bit different I guess.
Sheena wiped my nipples with iodine and then with alcohol and then started the marking and making sure they were just perfect. After I knew they were right where I wanted them I took my place on the table taking one last look at my ordinary nipples. Sheena explained to me what she was doing and she said it wouldn't hurt that much, and if it did it would be quick. Sheena then took the needle put a little K.Y on it and told me to take a deep breath. and another, before I was done my second breath the needle was all the way through. The pain was like sharp but subtle the pain went from my nipple and kind of disappeared into my body and that was that, it actually wasn't that painful. Then the barbell, I think that hurt a little more. for me I could almost feel every thread on that barbell but after it was in there was almost no pain at all.
Sheena asked me if I was alright and I felt like I could run a marathon i was so hyper and full of energy. she moved on to my left nipple done the same thing as she had done to my right one, knowing how the pain was, I was way less nervous this time.
After both of my nipples were done i put on my shirt and felt like a new person, Sheena cleaned up her station while I admired my new piercings.. I expected my nipples to hurt for at least a week. But to my surprise they only hurt the rest of the day, and when I say hurt I mean more of an annoying feeling, nothing more then that. When I woke up the next morning I had to check and see if they were still there because I couldn't feel them at all. I found cleaning them was easy although it took a while, sometimes to get the crusties off though its totally worth it. To this day I haven't had a problem with them and I don't find mine are always hard and of course I still have feeling in them although when I do get really cold or they are like super hard. I love my new nipple piercings and I wouldn't be the same without them!
