Nipple causing lots of trouble

This experience deals with my right nipple's story. It all began in November of 2003, when I had just broken up from my two year relationship and fallen in love with another girl. For years I had wanted to have my nipples pierced, but I had always found reasons not to do so – the last reason was that my former girlfriend and I had planned on getting engaged and having our nipples pierced at this special occasion. But my new girlfriend had yet had one of her nipples pierced and was good friend with a nurse that pierced at her home.

So after little to no consideration I asked Steffi, my girlfriend, if she would take me to her friend and have my nipple pierced. She happily agreed and so, on a friday in November 2003 we made our way from Duisburg / Germany to the piercer's in Essen, which is about half an hour away. Arriving there she was having dinner with her family and invited us at her table, but my stomach was quite nervous so I didn't follow that invitation and just asked for a drink. When she had finished dinner, we went to a separate room next to the living room and she informed me about risks and the procedure she would use on piercing my nipple. After that information I had a quick pee to calm myself and went back to the room.

I put off my shirt and she asked me which nipple I wanted to have pierced – I went for the right one, although I usually am a more to the left going person. So she marked where the needle would pass through and measured the length, then took a piece of PTFE (like tygon I guess) and cut off a fitting barbell.

Then the clamps went on, which was a very intense experience, and as I wanted to enjoy that pain a little I asked her to rest for a while and then pierce my nipple. So after like 5 minutes of getting used to the clamp I sat down again, she again sprayed some disinfectant onto my breast and then broke the needle's sealed hull.

The needle passed through my nipple quickly, but the pain was almost unbearable – my whole body stretched out and I for a moment went to blackness, it was the most unpleasant thing I had ever felt. She then followed the needle with the barbell and, as I was bleeding a little, had some problems attaching the beads to the 1.6mm barbell. Then my breast was gauzed up to prevent my shirt from bloodstains – HAHA !!!

So off we went back home, and upon entering the car my fresh piercing somehow got caught in the seatbelt – I felt another sharp pain and then coldness on my stomach – when I looked down I saw my shirt completely soaked in blood, even my trousers were turning blood-red. So I pressed a pack of tissues onto my piercing while my girlfriend drove back to my home. Arriving there, I carefully walked up the steps towards my flat and undressed to have a quick shower and get rid of all the blood on my body.

Afterwards I put on gauze again, taped it onto my body and went for Duesseldorf to go out.

Aftercare was quite normal, from time to time cleaning the piercing and spraying on Octenisept® to help the healing process.

But after some weeks I changed to a circular barbell, and promptly developed a blood blister on one entry hole. So, as the piercing was crooked anyway, I decided to remove the piercing from my body and let it shut close. On the next morning I deeply regretted my decision and, under the shower and with some force, shoved through a tapered insertion pin , re-opening the hole and re-inserting the barbell.

Then I let the piercing rest for four months, but as it was quite sensitive and not very happy about rude touching, I decided to stretch the piercing in order to have more tissue surrounding the barbell. So I bought a straight barbell from Wildcat in Essen and – at home, stretched the hole with my taper and then inserted the bigger barbell. (This one was 2mm, which is the same as 12g) The pain was not as bad as the pains before, so I was happy and proud of myself having stretched my nipple for the first time.

Early 2004 I once again came across the Wildcat store in Essen and instantly bought a 2.4mm barbell, as I had been overcome by the urge to stretch again. Arriving at home, I could not wait any longer. I grabbed my taper, put some lube onto my nipple and pushed the taper into the hole from both sides. Then I shoved the barbell after it and – wosh – my nipple was at 2.4mm.

I some weeks ago tried to stretch my nipple to 3.2mm, but my skin was not yet ready to take that step, and as I didn't want to rip it, I decided to wait some more time.
