About three months ago I decided that I wanted something to go with my two inner labia piercings.I like the way I jingle when I'm walking around naked. Since my anatomy wasn't suitable for a vertical hood piercing I decided I would try to pierce it horizontally.

First I'll tell a bit about my genital mods. I have done my two inner labia piercing myself, though not in the brightest possible way. But the point is that I know the way my genitals work and I know what's okay for my anatomy.
I carefully planned and pondered whether or not I should proceed with this piercing. Done right it would give me years of pleasure and a nice adornment, done wrong it might give me an infection or other bad problems. I planned for weeks with BME on my computer screen, I was practically glued to it.
But the day finally came.
I put some good music on and imagined how it all would work out.
I used a 14 G black circular barbell made out of titanium as jewelry and I washed it with soap, put a little disinfectant on it and proceeded to mark my hood.
I put a towel on the floor just in front on my full-body mirror and opened my legs up wide since I was going to use a 2 inch 12 G needle. Boy was this going to hurt..
I put on my gloves and opened the sterile needle package. I dipped the needle in lube and started. Now I knew the stinging sensation it would make to push a needle through my genitalia from before but I did not remember it being that intense. I pushed and pushed and all I got was more intense pain and sweat and adrenalin. My hands were shaky and I felt dizzy. But I kept going. The feeling of the needle sliding through gave me goosebumps.
After ten minutes of intense pain and pushing and huffing I got the needle through. I sat there in amazement and calmed myself down. I lubed the needle some more and proceeded on butting the jewelry inside the needle. Carefully I started to slide the jewelry in and the needle out. This did not hurt that badly. I was ready in no time, screwing on the other ball that belonged to the circular barbell.
I cleaned up and wiped the blood that had come from the piercing. I dropped my needle into the sharps box that I have and I was happy with myself.
My aftercare consisted of warm showers directed at it twice a day and leaving it the hell alone in the first two weeks.
Trouble started about two months after the procedure. I realized that it wasn't healing well. It was sore and swollen. I decided to switch the jewelry. What a mistake! The new CBR I decided to use was just plain poor quality - it had a rough surface, the ends were not properly evened out and it was too small in diameter. I have no idea why I even had such a crap piece of poorness included in my collection of jewelry. For some reason I decided to keep it in anyway.
Fast forward a week or two I decided to but the original jewelry in. It didn't help with basically anything. It was a bit more comfortable but that's where it ends. I knew I had to take it out. It just wasn't worth it.
I went to the shower and said to myself: "I win bitch." Well okay I didn't quite say that but I felt like it. I felt good taking it out, even now I don't miss it. Now when I fiddle with myself it's much more comfy because of the fact that I don't have to worry about it getting in the way.
As I was taking it out I smiled to myself and thought about the funniest thing regarding this. I had pierced that spot so that my boyfriend could enjoy it. Ironically he left me the day that this piercing was done. Somehow I wanted to fight for this piercing because it was important to me, partly because it reflected on our relationship. Luckily I realized that he was a jerk anyway and now I am with a lovely boy who loves my modifications and is interested in them too.
I am happy that I went on with my plans and pierced myself yet again because I feel that I am one experience richer now. I will continue piercing myself because of the fact that I feel like it is the right way for me to learn and get to know my limits.
Please girls and boys don't pierce yourself stupidly like I did. I used a way too long needle, resulting in my piercing being crooked and I didn't use proper jewelry and I tampered with it when it wasn't even healed.
I am only here to share my story, I don't promote self-piercing that is done stupidly. Only if it is done properly. Leave this to the professionals.
