You know how it goes, when you want something done, you know you better do it right then and there. I have been wanting to get my nipples pierced for a while and the day came when I was like fuck it, i'm going NOW. So I went.
At A Glance Author Kristina Contact boweviltheonion@yahoo.com When Two years ago Artist Monkey (filling in, should've waited for Justin) Studio Artrageous Location Green Bay, WI When I arrived at artrageous, the usually piercer was not in. He had a stand in for him, and being a stand in , I figured Justin picked someone if not better than him, then someone just as good. I think I was wrong. I should have waited for Justin, but i figured if I don't do it now, I never will. So I took off my shirt and bra and had him mark where he was going to pierce. I was scared but I don't think I was as prepared as I thought, tattoos are sometimes easier than piercings, that's for sure. First of all, looking at my purple dots in the mirror, they looked great in the position they were in. After I said ok, I sat in the chair and he laid it back, put the clamp on the left one first and got ready to do the piercing. I didn't think it was going to be as bad as it was. I have 6 tattoos, and I thought this would be nothing... it felt as if he took a burning match and shoved it through my nipple. I didn't know for sure if I even wanted him to attempt the second one but I didn't want to be uneven , so I waited for the second. Everyone's right.. the anticipation kills you for the second one, for it did hurt worse. I was relieved when it was over... my friend asked how it was and I kinda lied cause I didn't want her to back out... However, the left one, he pierced it way too deep, not even on the damn purple dots.. I was like shit.. I am NOT having him redo this, nor am I going to have anyone redo it. I came in about a month later complaining still of too much pain so Justin changed the rings for me. He offered to re-pierce the left one but I was like NO WAY IN HELL IS HE SHOVING ANOTHER NEEDLE IN IT. Needless to say , the right one being too deep, he had to push a taper through the hole just to get the new ring back in ... I almost passed out, the room got quiet, i felt as if I was gonna get sick. he made me sit in the back with a garbage can for a while to make sure I was able to drive. It's funny how I can still remember the pain of the taper.. damn.. I would much rather get another tattoo then to get this do "\Ãw"ë ne again..
I couldn't even watch my friend get hers done, just because I couldn't handle thinking about what I went through, let alone see her go through it. She was more fortunate than I was, she still has them..
However, 9 months after the initial piercing, I was still wearing a sports bra and I still couldn't sleep on my stomach. I took care of them just as I was told with the sea salt thing and I even went and found antimicrobial soap (supposed to be better than anti bacterial). All you do is go to a hospitals rest room, take a rubber glove, fill it up and tie the end.. you can't buy the soap anywhere. The pain was horrible all the time. Nothing seemed to help, so I took them out. You'd think after 9 months, I'd be in the clear to do whatever I want with them. Rather it be fortunate or unfortunate, I am considering getting them done again. I must do something about the pain problem, just cause I remember it like it was yesterday. I need some suggestions! I'm concerned about the scar tissue issue. I know it's gonna hurt, but maybe the right one won't be as bad, as long as it's in a better spot. The left was placed perfectly, so I don't know how that one's gonna turn out. I will say one thing that came out positive, my nipples were never sensitive before having them pierced, so now they are, it is nice! I miss the piercings so much though, they look so awesome and you can't help but look at them. Raking a brush through your hair can be a bad thing though... got that caught a few times... that'll teach you to brush nicely! I'll tell you what though, never have anyone called monkey pierce your nipples. I guess that was mistake #1. #2 I am going some place else, so hopefully it will turn out better.
