My reaction, the first time I saw a clit pierce was, "Oh my God! How could someone do that? It must have hurt oh sooooo much!" Yet at the same time I was strangely excited by it.
At A Glance Author Carrie Contact maraskywalker@hotmail.com When It just happened Artist Jake Studio Fallen Angels Piercing Studio Location Newcastle, NSW, Australia Over the next couple of months I often found myself thinking about it and wondering if I should get one done myself. I kept pushing the idea to the back of my brain - I mean seriously, I am a 30 year old mother of three, I only got my ears pierced 18 months ago and I was brought up as a good Catholic girl. Genital piercings were obviously not for me. Well so I mistakingly thought.
About April 2002 (approx 6 months later), I decided I had to find out a bit more. Perhaps knowledge would rid me of these thoughts. I did some research on the net and decided that of all the piercings this was the one for me. Then I started ringing around the piercing studios to be politely told, "No, we don't do clit piercings. They are too prone to infection, you will loose sensation..." etc. Eventually I found Jake at Fallen Angels, "Yeah babe we do them." He answered all my questions and didn't make me feel like a freak. Great I thought - I was going in on the Wednesday. Only I didn't. Yeap I was scared.
Anyway time passed and passed and passed.
In the meantime I made a new friend and at some point I found myself telling her about my wanting a clit pierce. Only to be told by her that they were great and I should do it. Yes she had one done about 6 months before. She also sports a few other piercings as well. She said that Jake in town was great. OK I thought, that's one for him. We also went on to discuss other aspects of the piercing.
In this time I also found a new beauty therapist for waxing. I found myself telling her that I was interested in getting a full bikini wax (hey, give a girl a break, this was a BIG deal for me). She thought it was a great idea and we started to work up to it - taking a bit more each time I went back. When we finally got the whole lot off I was very impressed. While looking in the mirror I thought my genitals could do with a bit of decorating. That was a fortnight ago.
I decided to refresh my memory of what I could get done - and found this site! Wow. . . talk about information that I couldn't find anywhere else. Thankyou to every single one of you who have posted stories - I read them all. So I rang Jake again and booked in a time for Thursday. Just the thought of the appointment made me all jittery for the next few days.
Thursday came and I was trying very hard to stay focused on each task that day. I arrived 10 minutes early for my appointment and shock of all horrors when I walked in!
It was a small section at the back of another musty shop. I very nearly walked out but then this guy with so many piercings on his face asked if he could help me. I said I had an appointment with Jake. He asked if I was Carrie and sat down with me me to explain everything and show me the room he did the piercings in. The room was immaculate and set up very clinically. You cannot know the enormous relief I felt at that time.
He also knew exactly what he was talking about and very supportive the whole way through, checking that my understanding was ok and that I definitely wanted a clit and not a hood piercing. He informed me that he liked to use a 16 gauge particularly if it is a first pierce. Besides it could always be stretched later if I wanted. We went through what I could and couldn't do afterwards and how to look after my new look properly. I signed my life away on some forms and he took me into the room. I must say that I have never in my life been so scared, nervous and excited all at once.
I took off my undies, lay on the dentist type chair, and hitched up my skirt. He examined the area to be pierced. I nervously asked if I had the right anatomy. Most definitely was the reply. In fact I found out that I have the perfect anatomy for just about all the unusual piercings that some women can't get done.
I lay there thinking, "I can't believe I am doing this" as Jake swabbed and marked the area. I felt him tug on my clit and he said, "Ok babe this is the really bad bit - the clamp." To be perfectly honest it wasn't all that uncomfortable.
Jake then instructed me to take in a deep breath and relax as I blew it out. So I did. . .and I really did relax on the way out until . . .I tightened my grip on the top of the back of the chair (I didn't even realise that my hands were above my head until that moment) and breathed back in very quickly, and a small "Ooooo argh" escaped my lips. I kept thinking to myself breath, relax, breath. The pain really lasted only 2 seconds, if that - but it was searing pain. Jake was somewhere saying, "Great. That was fantastic. Now I am going to thread the jewellery on. You did really well." My heightened senses made the threading a bit uncomfortable but not too bad. He made sure everything was sitting right, and then I saw it. It was beautiful with a very nice pink jewel on the ring. I was very impressed.
Jake complimented me on just how well I did. I told him that after having three kids and being stitched up after those this was a piece of cake. . . and then I just laughed.
Now 24 hours later what do I think? Well the little bit of bleeding I had stopped and the dull throbbing, much like a stubbed toe, has gone away. I can't help grinning as I am walking around - I feel like I have a little secret from the rest of world and I love it! What's more is my hubby loves it too. He can't wait for me to finish healing so he can have a proper 'look'.
