I had already had several piercings and was considering having my nipples done. Then, I realized that since I never wear bras, it would always be fairly obvious that they were pierced. Most of my body mods are unnoticeable in day to day situations and I like that. Plus, I did not really need any added attention to my boobs!

I was discussing this with my piercer, Noah, and told him that maybe I wanted my clit done instead of my nipples, but was afraid to lose sensation down the road, or if something went wrong. He said that the hood would be so much better; giving the clitoral stimulation with much less risk. He showed me some pictures of ones he had done. (I already trusted him). I was fairly apprehensive, afraid that if something went wrong, my beautiful pussy would be ruined. But the secrecy and intense nature of the piercing really appealed to me. Plus, who could go wrong with extra clitoral stimulation? I told him I would let him know when I had made up my mind.

About a week after we discussed it, I found out that Noah would be moving to Atlanta within a week, so it was now or never. I impulsively made an appointment to have it done before work one day. I thought this might not be the best idea, but Noah was leaving and I didn't trust anyone else to do it.

I went alone as it was 9:00 am. I think that Noah was a little surprised that I was actually going to do it.

Noah is more than professional. I totally felt like I was in a doctor's office. The office was so clean. I brought in a barbell that I wanted him to use and we got started. We had been friends for many years, so it was only slightly awkward for him to see my vagina. Regardless, I was totally calm. He put me in stirrups and explained every single thing he was doing or was about to do. He cleaned the area and gave me play by play about what he was doing. When he was ready to put the needle through, he warned me and told me to breathe and try not to make any sudden movements or close my legs.

The pierce was so quick! It was excruciating pain for about 3 seconds; and then never any pain since. He put the jewelry in and we looked at it in the mirror. It looked so much prettier than I even expected. I left the shop on air and went to work with no discomfort whatsoever! I did take a detour past a friend's house on the way to work. I had to show someone and he was more than willing to check it out.

It never got red or swollen. I NEVER ONCE bled or had any discharge; even when I first got it done. Cleaning was easy. I just used a mild antibacterial soap without perfumes. Noah suggested that I try to pee on it when I used the restroom. Of course, urine is sterile to the body that produced it. I have to say that was fairly impossible. Think about how you would try that the next time you're taking a piss. I'm sure it would be good for a laugh.

After years of having it, I would never take it out. Oh, wait. There maybe a few reasons to take it out temporarily, and I did come across one last year. Horseback riding! Taking out the piercing did not even cross my mind until about 15 minutes of riding. Honestly, at first, of course it was a little nice, but the 2 hours that followed were shitty. I will never again forget to take it out when doing something like that.

I cannot recommend this piercing enough! Especially to any woman who needs clitoral stimulation to have an orgasm. It makes all the difference. Especially when faced with a partner who has the general idea where the clit is, but doesn't actually know when they've hit it. This ensures that your clit will at least be inadvertently given attention.

There are some partners who get a little overwhelmed. They get excited when they find out it's there, but then don't know the limits and are afraid of hurting you , I guess.

Others "dive" right in.

The only negative feedback that I have received from a partner is that he said he got a metallic taste from the jewelry sometimes. He suggested to get an all acrylic piece, but I have been unable to find one that would suit this piercing. If anyone out there has any suggestions, or knows where to get an all-acrylic barbell, let me know!

To anyone who has already done this; Rock on Sista!

To anyone who is nervous, but considering; Don't hesitate! It's one of the best a girl could get in my opinion. It is so helpful and nice to look at. I have a barbell with 2 light blue gems. It looks so awesome with all the pink around it!

Just like any other piercing, I think one of the most important parts is that you completely trust your piercer. If they don't go out of their way to make you 100% comfortable, find someone else. If they are a professional, they will act like it. If you feel even slightly doubtful, walk away. You can always get pierced later, but you can't erase a bad experience.
