Well I just got my nipples pierced about 5 days ago. It was something I decided to do randomly one day. I think they are very sexy on girl and guys, and I heard they make your nipples a lot more sensitive which is okay with me!!!! I was so nervous and scared. I had heard so many horror stories about it. I heard it was the worst pain in the world, how it hurt so much afterwards you can't walk, about peoples'rings getting ripped out, but I was determined to go ahead with it.
At A Glance Author Jessica Contact jrbdawgs2424@yahoo.com When A week ago Artist Josh Studio Ink Rush Location Carrollton, GA I went to the place where I have gotten my tattoos done so I knew the people there. First Josh (the guy who pierced me) took me back into what looked like a hospital room. The walls were white, the floors were white, there was like a sink and cabinets, what looked like a dentist chair, and a tray beside it. It smelled like lysol, very clean. There were really cool posters on the walls so I had something to try to distract me (yeah right). He let me pick my jewelry. I could choose between a complete cirle ring or one the was like a U shape. I decided on the u shaped ring because he said it was easier to clean and with the complete cirlcle ring they would have to change it the first time I took it out, and with the U ring I could do it myself. Then he took me back out into the waiting area and told me he had to go set up.
I thought I was going to throw up I was so scared. Between the tattoo needle humming and the music blaring I thought I was going to break down. After what seemed like forever he finally came and got me. He shut the door and told me to take off my shirt and my bra. He had me stand in front of him with my arms down at my sides in a relaxed position and he marked the entry and exit points on each nipple. He had me look in the mirror to decide if I liked it and I did. Then I layed down on the chair and prepared myself for what I thought was going to be the worst pain in the world.
He told me to take a deep breath and on the count of three let it out slow. He started 3..2..1...and then he did it. I must say it was not the best thing I have ever felt in the world. In fact, it hurt. But it was only for like a split second. I mean it wasn't anything like I thought it would be. It was like a sharp pain and thats it. The worst part was the second nipple to me because you know what it is going to feel like and you have to anticipate it. He did the second nipple and that was it. I was done. I couldnt believe it.
I put my shirt back on, got my antibacterial stuff and was on my happy way. I thought me standing with my boobs in his face was actually worse then the actual piercing part. I think what made the experience better was the fact that he made me feel comfortable. He assured me everything was going to be fine and I would be happy I did it. He made me trust him which made me a little more relaxed.
As for afterwards, they are a little sore but nothing too bad. I think the first night was the hardest night because my nipples stayed hard and were very sensitive, but now they just hurt a little. For the most part when I have my bra on I don't even feel them. They don't hurt in the shower or anything. It hurts a little to clean them but not too bad. You aren't supposed to swim or anything until they heal, but that is okay because it is like 40 degrees outside.
I think the experience you have all depends on the person piercing you and your tolerance for pain. If you cannot handle pain or needles I would not really recommend this to you. I won't sit here and tell you it felt like a kitten licking my nipple or anything, but it also didnt feel like I was being tortured. It felt like a sharp, quick, pain. Oh and I have found that when my nipples get hard they are A LOT more sensitive to the ring then when they are not. I definitely notice it is there when I get a little perky....All in all I would definitely do it again, and tell anyone who wants to do it to go for it, I mean unless you just have absolutely no tolerance for pain. I like mine so far, so Happy Piercing to all, and I hope my story helped!!!!
