A continuation of Inner Labia Part 1, 2, and 3.
At A Glance Author Anonymous Contact anonymous When N/A On the night of Friday 21st November I had experienced my own, first and incredibly scary car crash, once I had finally arrived home that night I was in shock and didn't know what to do, I needed to vent, be it anger or another emotion I wasn't sure and so I plunged into my desk draw in search of my piercing supplies. To my horror I had run out of piercing needles but thankfully I still had a box half full of play piercing needles. I started pushing them into my skin, my forearm, breasts and legs but I didn't feel any relief and I wasn't satisfied with the lack of permanence of such a small needle. Still shaking from fear, shock and nerves and with a bag full of cleaned, old jewellery my attention grew towards the old barbells that I used to wear in my labia piercings, I removed them from the bag, the smallest of barbells 4mm in length with 3mm beads.
After several minutes of staring at my jewellery I decided to inspect my labia and see if I still had the small scars from the previous piercings; I was somewhat surprised that the holes were actually still barely visible. Due to the weight of the jewellery and the elasticity of the area of flesh the piercings had previously begun to stretch, to the extent of the jewellery falling straight through my piercings so they must have been at a good 10 if not 8 gauge, which was something that I simply didn't want in my genitals and so grew to be a contributing factor in the removal of the piercings earlier in the year, around July time.
Anyway, the holes were still slightly visible so as a test I took a play piercing needle and pushed it through; shocked I looked for the matching hole the other side and found that too so I pushed the needle through creating what I suppose you could call the first step in a ladder.
With another needle I again found the hole on the right side, second down but couldn't find it's matching partner so continued with a 3rd needle to find the 3rd hole on the right hand side, once again un-able to find it's partner – still I was happy to find 4 of my 6 piercings and somewhat curious about if I could fit jewellery into them. I once again removed the beads from my barbells and prepared myself, I pushed the thread into the tiny piercings, not even 27gauge but the jewellery passed through so I fastened the first bead in place and moved on to the next hole once again the jewellery passed through so I continued until I had jewellery in each of the 4 re-found piercings.
I almost forgot about the piercings until the night of November 23rd, I decided I wanted to feel symmetrical again but without any proper piercings needles or any funds to buy anymore needles I was restricted as to what I could do, so I pulled out more of my un-used play piercing needles. Almost certain I had found the first small scar from one of the missing piercings I pushed the needle through, I was expecting more pain but found it didn't actually hurt at all, in fact I was happy as the needle broke through my flesh. Now for the dilemma, the hole was 27 gauge and my jewellery was 14 gauge, did I remove the needle and leave at as a play piercing or did I throw away any sense I had and attempt to ram the jewellery through this pin-prick sized hole? Obviously I chose the latter so with jewellery in hand and determination in my otherwise empty head I forced the jewellery through this hole. The pain was bearable but there was blood, more than I had expected (I hadn't expected any) but I didn't care.
With a new play piercing needle in my hand I once again looked for the old scar which represented the last of my missing piercings, and I found it! The 3rd piercing on the left hand side, with the needle in my right hand I pushed at my flesh – this time the pain seemed slightly more intense but why should I care? I felt like I was on a mission to prove that my body is my own and so I could do what I wanted to it. I hadn't even forced the jewellery through this tiny hole before a thought worked its way into my mind. Why not attempt a 4th step in the ladder? I was sure I could accommodate it.
I picked up another needle and pushed it through the upper most part of my inner labia, I didn't waste time with anything like guide dots or clamps, I simply didn't care. The flesh was thicker on this part of my inner labia and the pain was much more intense, as soon as the needle broke through the blood began to flow. I withdrew the needle and attempted to force another barbell through but I knew I wasn't going to succeed, it was hurting and I wasn't getting anywhere, so I quickly found a 16 gauge barbell and tried pushing that in to the tiny hole, but the blood was now running through either side of my inner labia, it was over my fingers and covering the barbell causing me to loose my grip on it. I was hugely disappointed, I knew now that I wouldn't succeed in the 4th rung on the ladder without a proper piercing needle. Disheartened I gave up only feeling minor contentment in re-piercing all of my old "chastity" piercings, perhaps sometime in the future I'll attempt the 4t h rung, who knows?
I have said this before and I will continue to say it. I have always maintained the thought and attitude that self piercing isn't safe, but I know I will continue to pierce myself even though there are many factors that lead me to doing my own piercings. I only hope that people who read this will take the safe option and decide not to pierce themselves, but to go to a professional, reputable studio and have their piercings performed correctly and safely.
