Well, it all began 1 month ago, I wanted to have my clitoral hood pierced. I can't remember the name of the studio, but I thought it was a decent spot. Some friends went there and got navels and nipples done and they had really good experiences, they said the shop was clean and the staff was friendly, it was close to the downtown core, and lots of people went there, so I decided maybe this was the place I should go. I was a little skeptical and a little nervous. It's kind of weird spreading your legs for someone you don't know. I guess it's different when it's an attractive person you are having sex with, and not in a brightly lit room on an examination table.
At A Glance Author anonymous When A month ago Location Halifax I walked in the studio and there was tattoo flash all over the walls and pictures of different piercings that were available. I didn't see the one I was looking for so I asked the guy behind the counter. At first he wasn't sure the piercer was doing those kind of piercings that day. He went back and spoke with her and she said yes she would do it. She asked me to go in the bathroom with some baby wipes and clean up, I thought that was alright even though I just showered. I guess you don't want to take any chances with smelly crotches.
The piercer was friendly and seemed knowledgeable, she told me she had done many hood piercings and had great responses. She informed me a lot of people, actually most people experience great sensations after. That is what I heard and that is what sparked my interest because I love sex.... who doesn't? So, I went ahead and did it. She had a little work table where she had all her instruments laid out on plastic and everything was in a sealed package. She wore gloves. At the time I forgot to ask about an autoclave because I was so nervous but later when I went back I asked for a tour. She told me the clamp might hurt a bit and the piercing might hurt just a little more but it would be over soon. I asked her what gauge she was putting in and she told me it was 14g.
It shocked me because it hurt more than any other piercing I ever had done, but it felt like more than just the skin, like it should have been. I asked her how it went when she was done, she said "perfect". She gave me aftercare instructions and sent me on my way.
It was still hurting but it was a weird hurt almost a good hurt. I thought it was considering where I got pierced. So a few days later I was checking it out and I realized she actually pierced my clitoris under the hood as well as the hood. I got a little nervous considering the stories I heard about losing sensation and all, but it seemed okay.
Then one evening my boyfriend and I were having sex and it ripped right out!! What pain and so much blood. I was so scared but also scared to go to the doctor, so we stopped the bleeding and left it alone. I went to see the piercer who did it and she said it was fine, it must have been something I did. I told her it looked like she pierced my clitoris as well as my hood and it felt that way as well. She said she would never do anything like that. I told her that sometimes things happen and people make mistakes I wasn't saying anything bad about her work I just wanted to know that everything would be okay and to let her know the extent of my 'injury'. I expected to get a little more empathy from her. I only had the piercing one month and I figured she would have done it right.
It seemed to heal up without losing sensation but I think if she hadn't have pierced my clitoris that wouldn't have happened because it looked like it was pierced together, the clitoris and the hood. I went to see another piercer in Halifax just after while the cut was still fresh and she said it looked like the clitoris and the hood were pierced together and that it made sense something like that would happen if they were pierced together. My new piercer told me it was because the friction of sex caused the skin to separate which in turn caused it to rip. Although the experience has made me nervous about this type of piercing I have found another piercer and I hope to get another piercing very soon. I think this time I'll try something else and get comfortable with my piercers ability then I'll try it again. Because it was good while it lasted. Maybe I'll try and have 'softer' sex until it is well healed.
