I decided on getting a horizontal hood. I went to a now out of business, popular tattoo and piercing shop around the Clark/Belmont area in Chicago, and made an appointment with _____ (I was advised by the BME panel to remove the name of the shop and piercer), since he had recently done several piercing of mine. He was very excited about the project, as was I, so we got started right away. Upon entering his empty room, I noticed a tribal chant CD was playing. The place was neat and tidy, with a curtain dividing the room. While he was prepping the tools, I sat on the table. He slid out two stirrups from the table's end (apparently it was a Gynecological table) and instructed me to put my feet in them. When he was ready I hiked up my skirt to prepare for the marking of the holes. I opted for no underpants, to save myself unnecessary discomfort. He prepped my upper vulva area with a solution. From a stool between my legs, he steadily marked and re-marked the entrance and exit holes until they were perfect. He handed me a mirror to check them and I gave him the thumb's up. He showed me he was opening all new, sterile utensils and tools.

It was cold, and felt like a little goose steady biting my junk. Being a left handed piercer, his plan was to enter from my right and exit the left side of my hood. I took a few slow deep breaths, and on the third exhale, he plunged the needle through my hood. I made a squeal, and he said "now if I could make a girl make that sound so easy anytime..." I didn't think anything of it, because my mind and body were flooded by adrenalin. He handed me the mirror, I checked it out and was very pleased with my new piercing. He took a tissue and began wiping my vulva region saying "looks like someone got excited". I made an uneasy laugh. As he stood between my legs he said "there's something about a guy between your legs with gloves on..." Then I couldn't believe it, he was no longer cleaning or wiping, he was actually stroking my genital area. This was all happening so fast and before I knew it he had entered me with his gloved fingers. I completel y froze.
Here I was, not two minutes ago having the greatest experience in my life, and now I'm in this sordid situation. I saw the bulge in his pants and got terrified. I didn't want this that was happening, and for sure didn't want it to go any further. He saw me staring at his pants and said "have you ever seen a PA?" I said "no". He stopped what he was doing, pulled out his penis, and showed me his thick gauged PA. He wanted me to touch it, but I didn't, I said "it scares me". His response to that was "good, let it scare you", and reentered me with his gloved fingers. As I lay motionless on the table, he bends over and starts kissing me real hard with tongue. I wince and start squirming away as he begins fondling my breasts with his free hand. I finally say "why are you doing this to me?" He says "do you want me to stop?" I said "yes" and just like that, he stops. Goes to his metal tray and sets out to put away his tools and utensils.. Throwing away the gloves, and othe r debris. All of this like nothing just happened! I sit still on the table in a jumble. After he's finished cleaning up, we go down stairs. I pull out my purse to pay in this state of confusion and he says that I don't have to pay. I might not have paid in currency, but I paid for it.
This story is true. I feel this is a great risk of female genital piercing, because I was victimized by my 'professional' body piercer directly after a piercing, when his own sexual drive clouded his professionalism. This irresponsible man's popular shop is now out of business. That's karma. I also think BME should add improper sexual conduct to the risks of all female piercings. This experience has not damaged my view of piercings. I continue to get them regularly. I understand this does not reflect all male piercers, as I have had four male piercers and this was the only bad experience.
I hope my submitted story reaches girls who were mistreated so that they can have an outlet and speak up against abuse. Secondly, maybe girls reading this will become a bit more mindful of potential predators. I would suggest that females who are going to get genital or nipple piercings bring a friend along with them IN THE ROOM, regardless of if the piercer comes highly recommended. Or better yet, find a female piercer in your area. Even though they're professional piercers, there are still potentials for the psychology of power & abuse to come into play. This subject matter is important and NEEDS to be addressed. I as well as one BME member who read my story, "fear this type of situation may be more common than generally realized". I want a safe piercing environment for my sisters, nieces, cousins, daughters, and friends.
