As soon as I hit 18 I knew what I wanted to do right away. I had never stopped short of rebelling. I always did something to seperate myself from everyone else. I grew up in a clean cut, middle class home- normal family- but I always felt like I was lacking. I was young, and loved my boobs- ha. Every teenager is fascinated with tits! So, I decided, what the hell!
At A Glance Author Jessa Contact mellsober@yahoo.com When A year ago Artist AJ Studio Bravesoul Studios Location Gorham, Maine I had gotten my eyebrow done 2 years prior so I figured it wouldn't be any different. It was an invigorating experience.
I got to the studio (they were in the process of moving to a new location) so it was fairly empty. It was a very relaxing enviroment- could smell incense and the lighting was really soft. AJ (piercer) who I had talked to prior on the internet took me back into his little cubby section. He made mild conversation, and put me right at ease. I was a little nervous to bear all, but his smiles were comforting, and before I knew it I had my breasts out. The clamp was cold, I'll tell you that! It took him a couple minutes to even everything out- he had to make sure my nipples were erect- I waited very patiently, sitting idly waiting... just waiting.
It was over before I knew it!!! There was a slight tingle, hardly any blood- it was almost a rush. In a strange sense the sensation made me aroused- or it could have been the fact there was an absolutely attractive guy holding my boob in his hand. ha. Whatever it was- it was fun. When I think back on it, I have this odd feeling, that I just can't describe- like the first real decision I made as an adult. It could have been the season- the fall... the things that were going on in my life. It was extremely liberating. I loved the fact I could do what I wanted, and I did it myself. No friends went with me. If you just want to do something to rebel- really think about what you're doing. I only recommend nipples if you show them off a lot- I flashed, ha- of course! But no one really saw them, I wasn't in a steady relationship so they didn't the attention I would have liked for them. If you want to rebel get like your eyebrow or nose- somehting someone can see- but if you REALLY want these done- then go for it! All I say is, even if you're cleanest person ever, it might not be the best thing for you.
Afterwards I picked up some Bactine- the spray kind, trust me, it'll be your best friend. I also used some sea salts- I NEVER recommend soap- I was allergic to it, and using it stung so freaken bad. But Bactine in the spray bottle is great- you just spray it on and move the rings - making sure they're covered. I did it a few times a day.
The piercing part was easy- the aftercare, however, was very bad. The first month there was the puss, like he had said, I cleaned every day- twisted the rings in the shower. For the first 2 weeks they were sore to the touch- I had to wear a bra 2 sizes too big to give them breathing room, and kept tissues in my bra incase of bleeding. But come 4, 5, 6 months down the line they still pussed and crusted the rings. 9 months went by and they did not heal! SO I decided to take them out- which was a very depressing moment for me. I was thrilled to get them- I loved showing off my hardware- silver rings with little purple balls. I only have one pic (when a friend, unbeknowest to me, snapped a pic of me when I was getting out of the shower)- which is the most depressing thing. I just wanted to be able to say- hey, I had this done- and I loved it. I did love it, at first... but when they didn't heal I wasn't too crazy about it. But taking a piercing out is like someone running over your dog. Dramatic, I know... ha.
The studio was great- AJ (piercer) Leon (tattooist, i have 2 from him) were incredible. It's a very laid back enviroment- and anyone who goes there is sure to love it- but the aftercare can be difficult. Even if you do everything exactly right, things dont always go your way. 9 months and they didnt completely heal!
So all I can say is to everyone who wants to get this done- beware..... One nipple has 2 scars on it, and the other nipple is deformed- if you love your nipples doing this modification will change them and they won't be just like they were before.
