Just over a year ago (early 2000), my employers (local newspaper) asked me if I was willing to visit a piercing studio and ask some questions about why people got pierced, common piercings and stuff like that. I didn't see any harm in the idea. When the day came for me to visit, I was looking forward to finding out more. I got there and asked my questions, and I overheard a woman who was going to have her labia pierced. I was fascinated at the idea and, being a bit forward, I asked the piercer if I could watch. He asked the woman, who said yes! The woman had already had her clit done.

I was really fascinated by the whole thing, and more than anything, the woman's clit ring. I really liked the idea, and discussed it with my boyfriend that evening. He found the idea quite a turn-on (as did I!).
I told several people I know about the idea who tried putting me off the idea, saying things about it being really dangerous. My boyfriend and I did some research on the net and found BME. From what I could tell, if you had the right anatomy, there was a little element of risk, but nothing major. It was certainly a risk I was prepared to take. I went back to the piercing studio, and asked more questions, but kept chickening out when it came to asking for the actual piercing to be done.
It was a few days before my 18th birthday, and my boyfriend and I were out with some friends. He jokingly asked what he should get me for my birthday, and coincidentally, one of our friends shouted something along the lines of "A labia ring or two, and a small gold padlock". There was much discussion about this idea, when I mentioned to them I had thought about this and was trying to get the courage up to get my clit done.
Then most of them stopped their joking and tried to put me off the idea! This was quite maddening, and made me more determined to go ahead with the idea. But after a few days, I had all but forgotten the incident, and was back to trying to work up the courage to do it!
Then, when my boyfriend and I went away on our first real holiday together, I raised the idea with him again. He actively encouraged me, saying he would come with me, maybe even get something done himself (maybe he'll write one of these if he decides to get something done ;). This was quite surprising, and encouraging... This was on Monday.
On Tuesday, I saw a piercing place when walking for some lunch. I went in and inquired whether or not they would do this particular piercing. They said they wouldn't L I went for some lunch, and then walked back to the hotel I was staying in with my boyfriend. On the way back, I saw another piercing place and went in and found that they would do the piercing! I wasn't going to go through with it then though. I needed some more time. At least the place had a female piercer...
It was about now I got really excited. I knew I might just get the courage to go through with it. The idea of having something going right through the middle of such a sensitive part of my body was a really big turn-on for me, and I had a constant nervous feeling for the next few days. I discussed it more with my boyfriend, and told him I thought I really might go through with it. He seemed a bit stunned, but was very supportive and seemed just as excited about it as I was getting ;)
I should point out that this would be my first ever piercing. I have not even had my ears done, so it's kinda jumping in at the deep end. I never really liked the idea of clearly visible piercings for myself – I wanted something only me and anyone else I chose could know about. My own naughty secret.
It came to Friday, the last day of my holiday. I had to get it done today – I got my boyfriend to walk with me to the piercing place I'd seen. Before we set off, I made him promise to get me there – to make me carry on if I said I wanted to turn back – I really wanted to do this.
So we got there, stood outside for a while, and then went in. I told the woman there what I wanted, and chose the jewellery. It was quiet, and she said we could do it straight away. I cautiously said yes, and was taken to a room at the back of the place. It was very clean – much cleaner than the place I had seen when I was doing my work.
She examined me, and to my delight, said she would pierce me!! This was it. I felt very nervous, and my hands were shaking. I tried to relax, and the piercer tried to calm me down. She marked my clit, and asked if I was happy with placement. I said yes, and she put clamps on. I saw my boyfriend's eyes open wider. The piercer was saying something about breathing, but I was just sat thinking to myself that I couldn't believe I was going through with it!
I felt a pinch, and I was suddenly aware of the needle going through my clit. I nearly started to cry. I started to feel really sexually aroused, and thought I might reach orgasm! I looked down and saw a needle straight through my clit, and looked at my boyfriend who looked just as shocked as I felt – he said I had a look of helplessness on my face at this point :)
So, the piercer put in the jewellery, and showed me the piercing. It was perfect. I really could not believe I had sat down and let someone I didn't know force a needle through my clit, but I had, and I felt so good because of it. I paid, and thanked the piercer, and left. Walking was a bit painful, and I was a bit sore, but otherwise everything was OK.
It's two days after the event now, and I still can't believe it. Everything seems to be going well, though. I can't wait to have sex with it ;) I just wish I could tell everyone about it - they would be so shocked that such a "sensible girl" (that's how people seem to see me) got something like this done :)
And the feeling is addictive - I'm now pondering on some labia piercings, or perhaps getting my nipples done.
