I guess it all started when I was at a friend's house scoping through the "Suicide Girls" website. (The friends name is Ryan; he will appear a lot in the rest of the story.) I spotted a piercing below the eye and thought maybe I should get that done, since I started feeling the urge to get something pierced. I haven't had anything pierced since eighth grade, and that was my second hole in my ears. The 'anti-eyebrow' piercing was classy and really pretty on the model and I fell in love with it. Then I thought about having a piercing on my face... I pictured my mom, "No!" she would say, "Don't put a hole in your pretty face! I'll never be able to look at you again!" So, as I still have a love for that piercing, I'll wait until I'm 21.

I thought about it for a while, Where could I get a piercing where no one can see it? Navel? No. Nipples? Oh GOD, No! Vagina? The only place I knew of on the vagina was really low where an ex-girlfriend has hers done, and I REALLY didn't like it. But as I looked at more pictures I found the hood, it looked perfect!
I didn't think about it too long until I mentioned it to Ryan. And he turned to me and said "You won't do it". I was like "WATCH ME!" He handed me his phone and told me if I was serious I would call Mel, from That Piercer Girl and ask her how much it is to get it done. I grabbed his phone and repeatedly got the answering machine that said "We're open Monday through Saturday 1-8." It was a Saturday 5:00, but no answer. I tried again around 7:00, still no answer. I started getting antsy and my friend Steph was with me and she said we should just drive up there. Ryan refused to go, so I had to get rid of all the adrenalin and wait for another day.
I became OBSESSED with getting it done, and would NOT shut up about it for the next 2 weeks. I finally get a hold of Mel and found out the price ($85.00 for anyone who wants to know, that included jewelry and tax) and told her I was coming in Saturday around 6:30. That same day I had a Visitors Program, (I teach dance to 3-4 year old girls) they had their end of the year show for their parents that day, I WAS SOOO NERVOUS, but all went well. After wanting to pull my hair out from the stress, I made my way to Ryan's house since he was driving me to and from That Piercer Girl. I called Steph to come along since she wanted to come the first time I was going to go. I changed my clothes (I wore a dress assuming it would make things a lot easier when the procedure was accruing) and we made our way to the shop.
I hadn't felt any nerves about the piercing since all I thought about that day was hoping the Dance Program went well. When we pulled up to the traffic light and I could see the shop I started feeling nervous and a little anxious, but never thought about turning around. We parked and all walked up to the two girl sitting outside the shop (Mel and another chick Ryan knows that works there). Before they could even ask what they can do for me, they both spotted the huge bruise I have underneath my knee from falling off my Pointe shoes in Ballet class. They made a huge deal about it and then finally asked what I was there for. I looked around and thought I'm not going to scream outside "I WOULD LIKE MY VAGINA PIERCED PLEASE!", so all I could say was "I came..." and they both stared at me. Mel was like "I can see that." And then I swallowed my pride and said "I came to get my hood pierced, sorry, I'm getting nervous" Mel then said "You're scared of getting a piercing? I would be more worried about that bruise on your knee, call 911!"
I followed her into the shop and signed the release form in the waiting room (with the fishies!!!) and handed it back to Mel. She took the three of us into the back part of the shop and closed the curtain they had hanging up. By this time I was nervous, not immensely but enough to make me not really pay attention to what was going on around me. So many thought were going through my mind, but I was so glad Ryan and Steph were there with me. She put paper down on the chair/table thing and asked what I was wearing, and in my head I thought "A dress..." then I remembered nothing was going to get pierced if I didn't take the panties off... (I'm a smart one, let me tell you). I proceeded to take them off and then lay back on the table (P.S. The pillow was SUPER soft, ^_^) I spread my legs and she went through the whole "I'm going to do this, and that and then poke that with this and grab you here there and everywhere." And I just nodded. I was giggling my little head off and I really don't know why, I had a LONG day and this was just making it so much more exciting. I asked her if she remembered piercing my ballet teacher's navel. She asked her name, and when I said "Marjorie", she immediately exclaimed "Oh she is the sweetest little thing ever! She is SO cute!" Marjorie is 66 and got her navel done a few months ago, hehe, oh how I love her.
She pulled on my hood and said "This is the piece I will be piercing, does that hurt?" And I answered "No, not at all." She wiped it with iodine and that stung a little bit and then began to mark the area and even actually told my vagina to "stay". I was like "Did you just tell my vagina to stay?" She was like "Yes... I did... I really did!" And I was like "Where was it going to go?" And she still couldn't get passed to idea that she really DID tell my vagina to "stay." HAHAH. She gave me a mirror to check if I was okay where it was. I was shocked! I was like "Oh no! I wanted it vertical!" she then replied, "You don't have the skin for it to be vertical honey." I was SO disappointed, but I was glad she knew what she was talking about. I was a bit angry at my vagina, but what can you do, you know? So I told her it was okay and to continue. She showed me the plastic disposable clamps and set them into place. I laid back and reached for Ryan's hand. At this moment I knew what was coming but she told me my immediate reaction would be to close up my legs, and to try everything not to. So as she pushed the needle through, I arched my back, clamped Ryan's hand and gasped for air. She sharp pain lasted for about two seconds and I just laid there and mumbled because of how uncomfortable it felt as she threaded the jewelry through. Then she backed up and repeated "I'm done, I'm done." She handed me a mirror to look at it, and said "It's REALLY cute!" I was in love with it, but after being nervous about the dance program, then being nervous about the piercing I was exhausted and couldn't express any happiness; I wanted to just lie down and sleep right there. I seriously hit My Wall.
She gave me liners for when it bleeds and gave me all the cleaning and care instructions. She told me that for my first piercing I did really well and that she wants to take me out for Ice Cream, hahaha. We paid and made our way out to the car. By this time I had a HUGE head-ache and I laid the car seat back. Mel came outside and walked towards the car and yelled "Is she dead?" And I stuck my hand straight up and gave her a thumbs-up. I was just so exhausted. Ryan, Steph and I went out to Friendly's then to get some Ice Cream and we got Tylenol for my ridiculous head-ache.
It's been two days and the more I look at it the more I like it. I am SO glad I got it done, I absolutely love it! Riding in Ryan's shaky vehicles has a new meaning. I can feel the ball of the ring vibrate sometimes and I can't help but giggle. Sometimes I have a small uncomfortable sharp feeling down there but it goes away immediately, and it's a little soar but nothing unbearable. I can't wait for it to be completely healed. I really appreciate everything Ryan did for me and for Steph being with me the whole step of the way and for Mel's professional guidance. I feel like a whole new person. THANK YOU!
