It all started some years ago, I think I must've been 14. I bumped into body mods on the internet and had the sudden urge to get some myself (like a lot of people experienced on this site). I had a lot of tattoo ideas... A bat or something on my lower back (that would've been real smart, now wouldn't it? O.O). I whined about having my navel, nose and lip pierced to my mother too, but like most caring and concerned parents she said no. What was probably a smart thing to do back then, for I was bouncy and very impulsive, and I would probably have ended up with a tattoo I would've regret. But the piercings... I still wanted them so badly.

Half a year ago I bumped into BMEzine again. And this time I was sure to get myself pierced. I don't like doing stuff behind my mother's back (I have a great relationship with my mother), but this was just something I wanted so badly, something she simply couldn't and probably will never understand. I spent a lot of time surfing BME in search for the perfect piercing. But still, I was sure my mother wouldn't approve, so I decided to go for a discrete and beautiful piercing, actually two piercings (for I like symmetry): my nipples. I wanted CBRs for I think they're very flattering on breasts that aren't too big and they're just extremely sexy.
Talking about body mods I discovered that a (male) friend of mine had, by coincidence, the same desire as I had. So we decided to go to the piercing parlor together, somewhere around new-year (he hadn't the money that very moment). I kept waiting, new-year passed... And I'm not sure, but I think he simply backed out. So I decided to go by myself, but having a rather full schedule (I'm studying and I'm the proud member of a great flourishing rock-band) I had to wait another two weeks. Then, last saturday after a rehearsal, I finally went. I didn't make an appointment so I kind of expected to having to wait again (but at least I would have an appointment). To my astonishment (it was a saturday, that's a busy day for every shop) the piercer, who's by the way a very nice guy, had the time to slip me into his schedule.
So I followed him into the back, leaving my boyfriend in the main room. I wasn't very shaky, nor was I really nervous, what kind of surprised me (this being my first non-ear piercing). The piercer just kept talking about all kind of things. I knew this was to comfort me and I was glad that he talked that much, it really broke the tension. So I took my shirt off and he took a marker. I didn't feel uncomfortable undressing in front of someone I didn't know at all because, like I said, the piercer was honestly a nice and friendly person.
He had prepared his tools and needle one went in, and it did hurt but it wasn't that bad.
The second one actually hurt most. Peeping down, I expected to be shocked seeing a needle sticking through my poor nipple, but I wasn't (surprise, again). Before I knew it I was fully dressed again, standing at the desk with sore nipples covered up with bandages and the aftercare sheet in my hands.
It's been only 4 days now, but I haven't experienced any problems. They've been painful for about 2 days but now they're only a little sore when I clean them. Tomorrow I'm going to get sea salt, for I heard it works charms. I am really happy and in LOVE with how they look. When I get home in the evening I just stand in front of the mirror looking at how sexy my breasts are looking now. Really beautiful. Everyone who is considering this should really just GO out there and DO IT!!
Only a handful of people know about my piercings and it's hard to keep it that way (god, I want to boast so badly). But my poor mother can't find out, so I just have to keep it silent.
I'm bitten by the body-mod-bug and I'm already thinking about what to get next... Peut-être a Christina (that would match my nipple piercings perfectly)?
But I'm going to force myself to wait until my nipples are practically healed. It's going to be hard because my next piercing is totally free!
In the meanwhile, I'm probably going to have my ears stretched (not big, I absolutely don't like big gauges, maybe 10g or 8g), on its own it's not very special BUT knowing that my mother actually thinks it will look pretty gives it a whole new dimension. =)
