Ok, I am writing about my experience to help ease the mind of any and all ladies who are considering this piercing but for one reason or another are not doing it. I was just like you. For several years I wanted to have the piercing, but I did not want to get it done. There were many contributing factors to why I didn't want to get it done. First off all, I am a thick girl and I was really embarrassed to drop trau in front of a stranger. Sorry, but my biggest hang up was that I thought my legs were too chunky to be revealed to anyone. Then there is the pain factor, too.My nipples were very painful, so naturally I just assumed that the further south I went the more it would hurt. Then there was the healing process. Past experience with a surface piercing that turned out successful helped ease my worries about that, but this is different than a madison and different tissue also.
At A Glance Author jenne Contact jenne@bme.anon When It just happened Artist Jim Studio Krazy Kats Tattoos Location Kansas City Mo Facing my biggest problem, the fat factor was the worst. Ok, this is how it happened. The guy that paid for the piercing took me to his guy, Jim, whom I had never met before. But on entering the shop I found him to be an old school type of guy, he was probably my dad's age. So, my first advice on this is that I found it to be extremely helpful that the guy who did it was not some fine young thing that otherwise I would have tried to impress. And I also figured that at his age he would probably have seen it in all shapes and sizes.That helped.Or at least I thought it would. When it came down to the moment of truth I could not stop laughing.Taking off my panties proved to be the worst part of the experience.But, I was there and I wanted it done so, off they came.
Oddly enough, thinking that the pain was going to be the worst part of the process was an error on my part. This is actually funny.So, there I am and the needles about to go through. By this point I have already psyched myself up for the most excrutiating pain I have ever felt.Naturally when the needle started to penetrate I let out an "oouuuuuch".Then I realized that it really did not hurt that bad, infact less then my nipples.Quickly I fixed myself and made the announcement that "I am ok now" it wasn't half as bad as I expected.
Now, I am only three days into the piercing, but all is going well.There was no swelling,to my surprise.There really isn't alot of discomfort ,either. The one thing I have noticed is that there is a slight pinchy feeling if I sit on the jewlery wrong.But that too is mild and easily adjusted (think of when dudes adjust thier balls, same type of process).I have been keeping it clean with saline and washing with anti-bacterial perfume free soap.One thing I can recommend is that during the healing time, if you are into taking baths rather than showers then break that habbit. I know better than anyone how it sucks not to be able to soak for an hour but its not good to stew in dirty water when you are healing a piercing as delicate as this.
The only thing I think I would have done differently is chosen different jewlery.Remember the readjustment thing,yea well I used curved barbells. Now, I thought there would be some swelling so I opted for the ever so slightly longer bar. I think this has something to do with the pinchy feeling I get sometimes. There really was not any swelling so I would either choose a shorter bar bell or a cbr. And actually of the two I would prefer the ring having seen now what the bar bells look like. Not to worry, I will be changing into a ring as soon as I can.
I hope that my experience has come in handy for you in your decision making regarding this piercing.I didn't do much research on the piercing before hand and now I wish that I would have.In retrospect after all is said and done , all in all, if I had to sit down and do it again, I totally would. It looks pretty, I am sure it will be appreciated by myself and my boyfriend (present and future). And it was not so bad to sit through. Of course I am sure that there are others out there who did not have as easy of an experience that I did. And no matter what I did to try to prepare myself to get half naked it was still a little bit unnerving. Believe me I wish that I would have worn a skirt.The best thing I can tell you is that if you want it done, then just sit down and do it.
