At A Glance Author Candice Contact Candice@bme.anon When Two years ago Artist Lou Studio Tattoo Maffia Location Dover Delaware I had been divorced for about 3 months and I decided that I needed to reward myself for getting through the hardest time in my life. So I decided to reward myself with another piercing. I had already had my nipples pierced and I loved them! Having them pierced gave me a feeling of freedom, a sign that my body belonged to me and I was no longer a prisioner in a bad marriage. And besides, no one but me knew I was pierced! My little secret. I went with my friend Casey. Our divorces were final around the same time and this was consolation and and a way to reward ourselves for all the shit we had been through in our marriages.
Casey had also decided to get her belly button pierced. We walked into Tattoo Maffia, calm, cool and collected. We had done our research and since I had my nipples done there, why not head back to the same place? We arrived and I very casually told Lou that I wanted to pierce my clit hood. He said no problem and explained that he would inspect my anatomy and let me know which type of placement was appropriate for me. Lou was absolutely georgeous, with his tattooed body and smooth bald head. With that, I signed the appropriate consent forms, paid my $ 70.00 and off I went.
Casey came back into the room with me for support and I was greatful. I was slightly nervous, but excited at the though of having "my special place" pierced. I stripped from the waist down and laid back into the chair. I spread my legs and placed my feet into the stirrups. As I waited, Casey and I talked with excitement as we waited for Lou to get his equiptment set up. The room was immaculately clean. This gave me a good feeling. Finally he was ready! He explained everything that he was going to do and said that it would be over in a matter of seconds. He also told me that I was best suited for a horizontal hood piercing. I was cool with that and I was ready.
I had heard that the clamp was the absolute worst part of the procedure, but I barely felt it. Lou told me to take a deep breath and exhale. As I exhaled, I felt a little pinch! It was over just like that! I was pierced! I had a 16 guage titanium ring with a captive bead. My new piece of jewlery that only I knew about! I was so happy with it. It looked beautiful. I had no pain afterwards, no bleeding, no soreness. Casey proceeded to get her belly pierced and off we went to dinner, giggling like school girls over what we had just done. We were both free. Overall, I have to say that it was very freeing to get pierced. In a sense, it like discovering yourself all over again. And through this experience, I have come to discover that my body is a source of great pleasure to me. I love each and every inch of me. What a great feeling it is to be able to say that.
I was amazed at how quickly my new piercing healed. I cleansed it several times a day with sea salt soaks and never once felt a bit of pain. After the second night, I had to try and give myself an orgasm just to see if was going to be more intense. It really wasn't and my ring doesn't give me any stimulation. I never wanted it for that, I just wanted to have my special place adorned with a piece of jewelery. I set out to get it and I love it. I'm so happy I made this choice.
My experience in getting pierced has given me a sense of freedom that I never felt I had in the past. It is a way of expressing myself. Though my piercings are not visible to anyone, only I know that they are there and what they signify. I thought I wanted to get tattooed to signify my freedom, but I have taken a definite liking to the piercings. They are a part of me, they say that I am unique and that I am free to express myself in anyway that I see fit. I plan on getting my tounge pierced sometime in the near future. For now, my nipple rings and clit hood rings are my two best friends! I couldn't ask for anything better. I've had guys tell me that the piercings are a turn off to them, to them I say this: accept all of me or none of me. My piercings are a part of me and they are here to stay.
