Okay for all of this to make sense I have to start at the beginning and go from there. Take a good long look at this, hopefully someone will benefit from my experience, than again maybe not. This story is how I had a nipple ring that had been removed several years ago start oozing pus and becoming infected therein giving me blood poising which can cause you to die in case you didn't know. Want to know all of the details? Read on folks and take note. Also be aware that I know how incredibly stupid this was in the end little did I know how much this would come back to haunt me and bite me in the ass later on 5 some odd years later.
At A Glance Author Starsgurl Contact Starsgurl@bme.anon When Five years ago Artist Can't remember his name/ Tim Karn re-did them Studio Werewolf tattoo's non operational/ Exotic skin shop Location K-town Ontario Anyway I have a great relationship with my tattoo guy who is also my piercer, so why didn't I go to him on that day is beyond me and all logical reason. I go into Tim's shop get me a sweet new tattoo and I wanted to get my nipple pierced, however me being shy at that time wanted to go to someone I didn't know. Mistake number one! So I wander down the street to werewolf tattoo's which to my knowledge is no longer operational due to too many health infractions. Anyway I wander in there and ask the kid ( looked no older than 14) how much a nipple ring was, 40 bucks not bad I can live with that. Dude wasn't there, told me to come back later. So after waiting I don't know how fucking long he finally decides to show up ( poor professionalism for one thing, should have left right than and there) however I was determined to get that damn nipple of mine pierced. So all is well I go in, park my ass on a chair remove enough of my shirt to expose my right nipple as that 14 year old is drooling and we marked it off and he said the clamps hurt the most.....Holy shit he wasn't kidding either that asshole, you might as well have stuck my nipple in a vise and called it a day! The whole time I'm literally screaming oh my God take it off ( repeat this about a hundred time's no joke this really fucking hurt) he's like it'll only be a minute, yeah sure. He dropped my jewelry on the floor had to get a new one, I'm almost passing out from the pain and wanting to vomit at the same time. Regardless didn't feel the needle much but the vise like grip pretty much took care of that. And viola I got my nipple done, so as I'm sitting there with my breast hanging out, with my head between my legs trying not to vomit and pass out in this guy's shop, he ask's me if I want the other one done. I looked at him and asked him if he was out of his fucking mind and said no thanks I'll pass before I pass out myself. So this is fine I leave with my little care sheet in hand and who do I encounter on the way out? The health board and some government dude "\Ãw€ë inquiring about his License to operate such a business good lord!
So anyway moving along.....the burning sensation finally went away as per the norm, however it didn't stop hurting totally and was kind of oozing but who's doesn't for the first little while? I thought all was good two weeks later when I changed out my jewelry to this sweet little titanium hoop that I had and it felt better, for a few hours. But I figured it's new it's a nipple I have huge breast's so that didn't surprise me much either. It was fine for a little while and all hell broke loose and the damn thing had to come out. That was heartbreaking for me since I had the most hellish experience ever getting that damn thing! Little did I know that it was pierced crooked and there was a nice little infection lodged inside of it and furthermore the worse thing you can do is take it out( your jewelry, don't ever do that just suck it up and get some medication before taking it out). I only had it for maybe 2-3 months before I threw in the towel on that one.
Anyhow a year goes by maybe and I wanted it again thought why not I'll get them both done but this time, I'm going to Tim my regular guy whom I trust. Told him my former horror story, after he yelled at me ( which I deserved) he said okay I'll do them both for way cheaper than what I paid for one, Tim you're the man! So anyway what a different experience than the first time. Lifted up the shirt removed the bra eyed them up, laid down and off I went, all stressed out and ready to vomit already.
Tim tells me to relax he's not some S&M freak out to hurt me. Clamps were comfortable not tight at all just enough to staunch the blood flow and get the skin up. Does the left first no big deal was almost painless okay not so bad. On to re-piercing the right or so I thought. Nope Tim needs to pierce overtop the old one and he shows me how it's all crooked and all that fun stuff. Okay this one hurt a little more than usual as scar tissue causes this but not too bad. * note to anyone who works in a kitchen or goes into a walk in freezer: Wait a few days because nipple hard on's with 22 hour old piercing really fucking hurt!).
Regardless I did my thing and for a little over a year all was well in nipple ring land and than on came the burning again in my right nipple. So bad in fact I thought they were on fire literally ( I used to be a chef so this wouldn't have surprised me since my girls tend to get in the way sometimes). Investigate the chef coat, no problem there. It got so bad that I couldn't move at all, I was almost in tears. I go home take it out figuring it should be healed enough, do keep in mind this was over a year later.
Ahhhh instant relief! Wait two days and put in a titanium hoop but that didn't work out so I being determined to keep this in after all the bull shit of getting it done twice mind you I took a gold sleeper and threw that in there. Much better, however the hoop came un-done and when I got home from work it had worked itself into my nylon bra and when I took the bra off I ripped it out. * yes please cringe, the pain was mind blowing!* So I gave up it festered a little now and again but I thought whatever it's fine and normal considering everything I had been through.
This is where it get's interesting: I wake up one morning several years AFTER having it removed and that damn someone's got a torch to my nipple feeling was back! I thought my husband had bit me or something so I looked nothing looked out of order so I thought whatever some hormone thing, except wasn't PMS time. Day goes by burning goes to a dull throb, until I woke up the next day to go to work. I investigated again and I don't know if it was the way I had turned it or not but bid gross globs of the most nastiest smelling puss came out, so I squeezed it again three times actually, had to leave for work at this point. Oh the smell was something else, that I will never ever forget. I go home tell hubby who's also a piercer himself here in Montreal and even he was like what the fuck's going on. He thought it was the left one which I still have; go figure. Oh no it's the right one, the nipple that's been empty for years now. Here's a little run down of what likely happened although no-one will ever be 100% sure.
Piercer number one was bad news from the beginning and I never should have went to him in the first place. First try get's infected internally and is buried by my nipple so no-one noticed it, including me. Try number two, pierced right smack over top the old one therein "burying" the infection even further which was just sitting there rotting away. Doesn't get lanced out until several years later. By breaking the pocket that contained the infection it headed for my blood stream, giving me blood poising making me incredibly ill, I had a fever so bad I was delusional and sick for weeks because my immune system couldn't deal with the cold I had gotten and my pussy boob. I really need to go see a doctor but my medicare card expired I'm flat out broke on my ass and can't afford to see a doctor let alone get med's on top of that. However I did speak to a nurse and drinking water and taking vitamins really helped flush out my system.
So it's till doing it's thing but bathing it in alcohol and sea salt bath's are at least getting all the shit out that's coming from three different places all connected to the FIRST piercing. You can still see the holes but the middle is so clogged up with crap that's likely why I could never get it back in but I'm betting when this is all over I could get it back in except for the two holes on the inside of my cleavage area there have "knitted" themselves together.
So yeah here's my advice to you: Know your piercer I don't think anyone can stress that enough. Go online and check out their health board history, you can do that here in Canada don't know about my neighbors in the US. If you get a bad infection or have troubles like I did: get your ass into a doctor and do not remove the jewelry under any circumstances until you get all drugged up with some penicillin or something and it goes away this will cause you bigger problems in the long run. If you're a woman get a bigger hoop, it makes all the difference in the world I have a one inch one in there now ( my left one) and it's awesome no problems with that one at all. And monitor it daily to make sure everything is the status quo. Make sure your health insurance, medicare, health card are up to date!! I will eventually get my ass into a doctor it's going to be interesting to see the look on his/ her face......can't wait for that! Hey take a look at my breast that spits forth green rancid smelling puss. * gross* I know * laughing in amusement
