At the end of the summer I had gone through a terrible break up after almost a two year relationship. My girlfriends and I were joking about how horrible boys were in general. I was feeling a little rebellious and mentioned to my friend that getting a piercing would be an excellent idea to give myself a feel-good treat as well as give me something to focus on. Within the same time frame, my friend had mentioned prior that female genital piercings were excellent in her opinion. I brought it up again asking if she really thought so. I have told myself for the longest time that I could have plenty of piercings but I would never allow myself to piercing my genitals because it never really sit well with me. It was something I was never too interested in.
At A Glance Author m3n4c3 Contact m3n4c3@bme.anon When Six months ago Artist Dana Studio Pins & Needles Location Portland, ME By this point, I have had so many piercings that I am really out of places to pierce. Out of curiosity I figured that it would be worth to give this hood piercing a go. I did some of my typical research on BME by looking up pictures of hood piercings, the process, potential risks, etc. It seemed harmless enough if done properly and if anything, could add to pleasure! I laughed to myself because I realized how cute it looked and the benefits it had. I felt like this could be a happy addition to my piercings. One thing I noticed was the option of a horizontal hood or a vertical hood. At first I was contemplating the horizontal hood but then I quickly decided that the vertical hood would probably be a little more comfortable to sit down with.
I gave Pins & Needles a ring and inquired about bar gauges and if they were available to pierce me. I was soon on my way over with my friend who suggested the piercing. I never get nervous for many piercings as I have a lot of them but this was something different and I was a little timid. I had my tongue done not too long ago and that wasn't a big deal. I knew that oral piercings tend to hurt less so I hoped that this one wouldn't be a big deal. My biggest concern was that the piercer didn't mess up and ruin anything.
Granted that this is a hood piercing, it does NOT go through the clitoris despite people referring to it as such. This is what also calmed my mind about the piercing: it just goes through an area of skin. I got into the shop and Dana set up a private area and prepped. By this point I was quite nervous and asking him quite a bit of questions to make sure he knew his stuff even further. He had done the piercing before and it made me feel a little bit better knowing this. Soon enough I was modestly asked to pull down my pants and he kept a very professional manner about himself.
The receiving tube was set up and he told me to take a few deep breaths. On the count of three the needle went through and I kind of lurched in my seat. To my disbelief it felt like barely anything. Not so much a small prick but an odd sensation of adrenaline overwhelming me. It was no biggy at all! I had been expecting a very uncomfortable feeling but none occurred! He told me to remain still while he put in the jewelry and that was that! After I payed and tipped him, I was given a care sheet and told how to clean it for the next few months. Granted a hood piercing is in an area full of folds and moist so attention to the area is really needed. I did salt soaks each night and made sure that I rinsed the area well.
I was quite giddy knowing that I had a piercing that no one else could see. I felt smug and definitely happy. It gave me a reason to smile as I recovered from the ridiculous relationship. It has been well worth it! The healing process was very quick and there were no repercussions whatsoever. Oral piercings tend to heal quickly because the cells are constantly regenerating. I down sized the jewelry a bit later once the bar was apparently too long (everyone has their own comfort with length). I lost the beads in the shower because they had become loose with movement (make sure to tighten the balls frequently). In terms of pleasure, the piercing most certainly adds some more sensation into the mix! It makes things a lot more intense and it is probably the most interesting addition. My fiancee doesn't mind it at all. Over all, the piercing was definitely worth it and I would do it again.
