OK...so I have absolutely no pain tolerence at all but this piercing is my baby and here's the story...
At A Glance Author *Casey* When Three months ago Artist *Nicci* Studio Devotion Tattoo Location Orlando, Florida I am really scared of needles and pain in general, but when I turned 18, I wanted to do something..went to some random place and got my tongue pierced. Well after about a week it turned white because the guy there told me the wrong mouthwash to use...long story short, I freaked out but didnt want to go back to the place i got it done. SO.....I ended up at Devotion asking Nicci what do to.
She made me totally comfortable and is the *sweetest person ever* and a few months later, when my tongue DID heal, I started wanting another piercing...and you have to understand I am really not the type of person you'd expect to have them. I dont know, piercings and tattoos have always fascinated me. I origionally wanted my clit hood done. And I wasnt shy about it because Nicci is a girl, so I figured it would be less wierd. So I went in and talked to her on like a thursday about it...but I wasnt ready to do it that day ( I need like 2 days to get myself ready...) She explained the way she would do it and everything I was excited...but SCARED!! My tongue did not hurt a bit...this would be a bit different.
Ok so *sunday* the day it happened I was really scared and worried. I brought my puppy, Pip with me because everythings better with a puppy there. I was all butterflies and nervousness when I drove over to Devotion. Well I got in there and Nicci was there and I gave Pippy to one of the guys who works there to hold and went to the back, where I asked about 300 more questions, but I didnt feel bad because Nicci answers them all without making me feel stupid or like I worry too much. I asked her how bad was this going to hurt and she said a sharp, high-pitched pain....
Ok so she showed me everything and I took my pants and my undies off...thanking god it was Nicci and not some random guy who would be handling needles around my vagina for the next few minutes. Haha. So she checked me out with this hollow tube thing and realized that she coudlnt do my clit hood because I dont have enough skin over it to pierce...hmmm...
Well I wasnt leaving without something and one of my labias is more poofed out (good word? poofed?) than the other and Nicci said that one was calling to her, plus it would be pleasurable too *yay*. It was going to be off-center so origionally I was sketch about that, but it turns out I kind of like it better that way anyways now...
Ok so we decided the place (its right below the freckle i have on my vagina :) And then she said that a 12-gauge would be the better size becuase it would be a good "solid" piercing. Shes the one who's been doing it for a lot of years so I trusted her, but when I saw the needle, I got really scared, but there was no turning back.
So she marked it, clamped it and was really good about explaining to me about breathing and stuff...trust me I overreact in the worst way possible and Nicci is a saint for dealing with me :) So we did a bunch of breaths and the OH MY GOD it was a sharp, high-piched pain that took my breath away...but then it was over! I had adrenaline which was awesome, while she put the little bead ring through it. I coudlnt believe that I went through with it!!! So I stood up in the mirror and looked at it...It was *ADORABLE*
So I gave Nicci a huge hug because she is by far the best and the only person Ill ever let come near me to pierce me again. I completely trust her as far as that goes. So I redressed and went back out and got Pippy (my chihuahua) and paid her and jumped around becuase I did it... and pretty much looked stupid in front of all the people who work there. But I was excited, I had so much fear about it and I went through with it. I could have never have done it if Nicci had been impatient or made me uncomfortable... but she got me through and:
It is by far my most favourite piercing...it's so cute and unique and I like that it's just on the left side because I'm left handed so I think thats precious. It never gave me one bit of trouble while it healed. Well it hurt a bit because I had to go to work that day but it was like my little tiny secret...nobody knows about it and I love that! Aftercare was so easy, I just washed it with antibacterial soap and then took a cotton ball in salt water and put that on it for like 10 minutes a day. After about 3 weeks, it was happy and pretty much healed and its my *BABY*
Nicci positioned it so the bead rubs in just the right spot...it does get in the way for like a bikini wax, I just have to warn the aesthetician, but I still get freaked out that she might rip it out with the wax! Hasnt happened yet... like I said, I over-react. Just a little.
So all in all, It was the *BES T* I just went the other day (right before I got my newest tattoo) and Nicci changed out the bead for me so now I have this sparkley red and pink one as opposed to the old black hematite one from the initial piercing. And she gave me a pep talk because I was scared about my tattoo. She's the best. As for my little piercing its adorable. So...If you want a more unique one, get your inner labia...I love mine. And If you live in Orlando, don't go to some random place....go to Nicci at Devotion on 1792. Talk to her for 5 minutes and you'll see how much knowledge she has, and how professional she is. No matter how much of a scaredy-baby you are, she'll make your experience positive. She has since done my nipples (my two *new* babies) , and I have gotten 2 tattoos there by Joe.
Ok then I hope you liked my story! Have fun! Love from Me and Pip! *
