If you told me a few months ago that I would get a VCH piercing, I would have thought you were smoking crack. Up until recently, I was a virgin, pretty innocent and embarrassed about my body. I always wanted my nipples pierced, but was too scared of showing my body to get it done. I also wouldn't tell anybody I wanted them done. However, I got an amazing boyfriend. He has no mods, yet finds piercings incredibly sexy.
At A Glance Author shes_a_dreamer Contact shes_a_dreamer@bme.anon When It just happened Artist Penelope Studio Luckys Location Northampton,MA So we've been dating a few months and he started un-shelling me. First, with his encouragement I got my nipples pierced. Next, I went on Mod Blog and saw the Christina piercing. I never had an interest in genital piercings but I fell in love hard. He treated me to it and I was ecstatic.I got over the initial fear of exposing my vagina.
My boyfriend is a Marine and had to leave for a month for extended drill in Israel.My piercings always have meaning to me, so I wanted to get something special. A friend of mine has her VCH done and she told me how great it is. After a lot of thought, I decided to get it done. Since he had already been gone 1/2 of his time, I still had a good week and a 1/2 to let it heal.
I enjoy being sexually active and am very sensitive. After reading stories of amazing orgasms and intense sex, I figured I'd go for it and to surprise my boyfriend when he got home.I was for a short time debating a triangle, but I quickly decided against it. The VCH is so small and adorable. It's my little clit decoration.
I called up my best friend and asked him if he'd come for moral support. He agreed. I cashed my paycheck so I'd have money and off to Northampton we went. I will not get pierced by anyone but Penelope at Luckys. I've known her for over four years, she has done the majority of my piercings and out of the 7-8 piercers I have been to, she is the only one who is quick and an APP member. Western Mass has NO good piercers besides Penelope. I would have went to her for all of my piercings, but in the past I didn't have a license/car so I had to stick to local piercers. Most of my piercings done at other shops were horrible healers and done incorrectly. I eventually had to go to Penelope to have them re-done or removed. Luckys may be more expensive than other places, but you get what you pay for
We got to Luckys and I talked to Penelope and her sales assistants, which are badass. They were surprised that I was nervous about getting a VCH. They told me if I could handle a Christina piercing, that this would be a piece of cake. Penelope explained to not expected additional sensation and to make sure this is something you aesthetically want. I agreed. Signed the papers and paid the $71. There was no way I was going to go cheap on this piercing.She gave me my 14G straight barbel. One of the other piercers at Luckys once explained to me that they only do VCHs with a straight barbel as it maximizing sensation.Becky explained that curved barbells don't work as well.
We got into Penelope's pristine piercing room and I de-clothed. I put my legs over these bar things to keep me spread and Penelope examined me. She cleaned the area which was cold. Then she went over the area with something that stung horribly. I wasn't the happiest of campers, but Penelope had me cracking up.She's amazing. She can make the most awkward situations fun.
Turns out my va jay jay lips were getting in the way so she gave me the option of holding them open for her or having her awesome assistant Niki do it. I knew I'd need my hand to hold my best friend's and I also knew if it would hurt, I'd reflexively snap my hands away. Penelope explained that it wouldn't be awkward for Niki as she's had to do it tons of times. I said it was okay so she got Niki, who put on gloves and then Penelope switched hers which she had already done numerous times.
Penelope marked me and started to line up the receiving tube. She warned me the tube may touch my clit. She apologized but explained there wasn't much that she could do. I asked if the receiving tube would be the worst part and she was like "I wouldn't lie to you, so no, it isn't." Ugh. It was really uncomfortable and hurt to some degree.I kept squirming around and she told me to relax. I held my friend's hand and she told me to take a deep breath in. When I exhaled, she pierced me.
When the needle went through, I yelled. The yell sounded like a mix of a grunt and a distorted orgasm. I have NEVER done that on a piercing. I have my Christina,nipples,nape,nostril,septum,conchs,daiths, rooks, lobes,navel,a chest microdermal and my tragi. Never have I yelled. It was as everyone says, an intense sharp pain. My nipples hurt worse in the long run but I was hurting. I apologized for yelling and Penelope and Niki laughed and told me it was completely normal.
I've always found the needle worse then jewelry insertion but I found for the VCH that they were equal. I tried my hardest to stay still and Penelope continuously re-assured me that it was almost done.She explained since it's vascular, they bleed A LOT and they heal quickly. Finally, it was over. She handed me a pantie liner and she cleaned up the blood. I tipped her 8 dollars and we were off. Within minutes, I didn't really notice it was there.
I've had it for about two days and it's fun. When I walk, it tingles. Stairs are my good friends. Penelope instructed me to tighten the balls once a day because they become lose while walking. It's a bit hard since they are so small and its hard to get deep inside there to tighten it. I've been using wound wash on q-tips twice a day and Chamomile tea on q-tips. It's not really a piercing where I could do sea salt soaks.
Now I have about nine days before I see my baby and I cannot wait to show him my new addition. I also cannot wait to try it out! Hopefully it'll be pretty healed by the time he gets home and we can enjoy it. I'm really grateful to my boyfriend for making me more comfortable with my body and encouraging me to explore my love of body modifications. I do not have to shy away or feel like a freak. He loves me for who I am and I really couldn't ask for anything more.
