i had already been pierced a couple of times (tongue, eyebrow, ears... you know) and i was overdue for some new kind of piercing experience. at the time, i was a nightstocker on an all-male night crew. the lead nightstocker put me up to a challenge i couldn't resist... a dare, if you will.
At A Glance Author 00bean Contact 00bean@bme.anon Studio Body Piercing Unlimited Location Anchorage, Ak (C street & Fireweed) he and i had been discussing piercings and whatnot and the fact that i had a friend with a hood piercing. he stated that he didn't think i had what it took to get my hood pierced even though "mods" were nothing new to me.
ok... so it was a cold, blistery day in anchorage, alaska. i woke up around my usual time (2pm) and decided that "today is a day for something new"! i stumbled around the house for a little bit and made a call to a friend of mine.
i asked her if she wanted to take a little ride with me. (to be honest, i demanded that she come even though i refused to tell her where i was going just in case i wanted to chicken out!) when we had arrived at BPU she realized what i was up to and she was in shock that i would "go this far" with my piercings.
the regular piercers were out of the building for the day. i was suddenly on edge, but i still wanted to go through with it, so "CARPE DIEM, baby!" so what if some person i had never seen before was going to be gazing at my most private parts right before they took a small metal rod and jammed it into my tender flesh!! i had no problem with this... would you?!
"Lady X" (even though this was an intimate time, i never asked for her name) handed me a moist, paper towelette and asked me if i could go and wipe myself before we got started. once in the bathroom i had another "pep talk" with myself and REconvinced this scared little girl that this was ABSOLUTELY what she wanted to have done! once i stepped out of the bathroom doors.. it was my turn and IT WAS ON!!
my friend asked if she could watch too, and the three of us stepped behind the magic curtain. i laid down on the table and trying to sound witty and cool i asked "so is this your first time?" she grinned devilishly. apparently Lady X was just visiting for the day from a neighboring city (she was a piercer from their shop in Fairbanks) and the normal crew of piercers decided to put her to work because everyone had been out late (ahem!) the night before. no, she NEVER answered the question either.
i lay flat, and Lady X began talking to me, telling me how to position my legs and take deep breaths. to be honest, i didn't hear a word she said to me... my bottom was hanging out and i was lying spread eagle and crooked kneed on a table while some woman (nameless but rather attractive looking, heh!) sterilized my genitalia.
i remember joking with Lady X about how often piercers get kicked from this position but thats about the extent of what i can remember before IT happened. when say "IT", what i mean to say is "IT" was the most exhilerating rush of pain and pleasure combined that i had experienced up to that point in my life. whether or not there was piece of jewelry added to my collection- i didn't care. after Lady X pierced my hood, and i spasmed and screamed with utter delight... all i wanted to do was grab a blankie, roll over and call it a night.
i'm not sure how long i was out, but when i awoke, i felt the sudden need to light up and smoke something. as i pull on my underwear and pants, and put my shoes back on, all i could do was smile. Lady X began telling me about the usual aftercare (no foreign fluids has always been my favorite! heh!) she was talking to me and i was nodding, but i don't think i even heard a thing she said to me at this point. i was numb and ecstatic and i was pierced- by golly. i felt as if i was the biggest badass to walk the streets of Anchorage. there was no telling me otherwise.
i was smiling from ear to ear as i left BPU that night. i was exhausted but relieved. i had done what they said i was too chicken to do... AND i had enjoyed it!!
when i returned to work the next day and the head nightstocker asked me "so- what did YOU do on your days off and why are you smiling so much?" all i could do was wink and whisper "shhhhhh!" in his ear for this was a secret i was keeping for a while.
