The whole experience starts where every good story should start-at the beach. I'm at Wasaga with my friend Nicole, and her "friend" Amanda. Nicole and I were trying to get away from Amanda, so we decided to take a walk down the strip, and see what was going on there. On our walk, we go past the Perfect Image piercing/tattoo parlor, and we are both intrigued, so we go in, only to be greeted by the buzzing of a tat gun, and the smell of clean that only a piercing place can have. And as soon as we walked in, I wanted to get my nipples pierced. I've wanted to get them done for quite some time, but I was always too afraid.
At A Glance Author Joel Contact Joel@bme.anon When A year ago Studio Perfect Image Location Wasaga Beach "Get your nipples pierced" Nicole says to me.
"There's no way," I answer back. See, as much as I wanted to get them done, I was too scared, both of the pain (I'm a wuss) and of my loving parents reactions when they found out. Keeping in mind, this was the summer, so I would be without a shirt most of the time. So as I saw it, there was no way that there were any rings going in my nipples that day. Nicole manages to get me to check out prices (there's no harm in that...is there?) only to find that this place had the best prices I had seen (I had been checking out different places).
"That's really cheap eh, you should get them done here". Thank you Nicole for further pushing me. So I decide, why not? (and I had plenty of answers to that question that I was keeping to myself). I dig deep into my wallet, and pull out all of my money, only to add another answer to the list of why-not's. I was short $50. "Oh well", and back goes the wallet and a wave of relief comes over me.
"I've got $50 I can give you, you've just got to pay me back". Again, thank you Nicole for making me squirm even more so. Well fuck it, I've got no good excuse not to get them done, so I will. I slap down the money, and wait my turn to go under the needle.
Finally he calls me in. Wow am I scared. And the thing is, I had asked for the 2 piercers that were there to each do a nipple, at the same time. So I'm lying in the chair, my shirt in my hands, and I'm holding onto it for dear life. They get my all ready, and I say "it's just gonna feel like a really hard purple nurple, right?"
"Ya." Answers one of the piercers. Then he put the clamps on, and THAT felt like a really hard purple nurple. I think I'm in some trouble here.
"Take a deep breath and count to 3" he tells me. I breathe in. I close my eyes tight. 1. I'm shaking pretty bad. I open my eyes. 2. Ok, almost there, I can OW! BOOM, needles through, and it was done. And it hurt. There was the initial pinch, and the burning feeling that came a few seconds after. I looked down at my chest, only to see 2 needles going through my nipples. Now, I knew that the rings were not in yet, but I was still surprised to see 2 big needles going through my nipples. So I giggled. It was over. It only took a few seconds for him to finish up, and get the hoops through, and then we were done. What an experience. I get up from the chair, a little shaky, but that's alright. I figured I had a good enough excuse. Now, I just had to figure out how to get my shirt back on without hitting my nipples, because even the breeze was hurting them.
So as I was walking shirtless down the strip afterwards, it seemed as if everyone noticed my new nipple rings, and that made me happy. I liked them, and I wanted other people to like them too. I was glad that Nicole pushed me to get them done, and that she had paid for me when I didn't have enough money. I've had them for a year now, and I still love them just as much as I did when I first got them, if not more. See, now that they don't hurt, there free to be played with, which is a lot of fun. And I have since convinced 3 of my friends to get there's done, and they all feel the same way about them as I do. And I finally did tell my parents. You know when you get the talk from your parents "we're not angry, we're just disappointed"? You know the one. Well, not only were my parents disappointed that there little boy had his nipples pierced, they were pissed off. But they couldn't do anything about it, so it's all good in the end. And the fact that they can be hidde n by a shirt is a real plus as well. Overall, I'm really glad that I got it done, and I encourage anyone who is thinking about it do get it done.
