I can not go too long without wanting something on me to change. Whether it be my hair that I want to chop off or dye a different color. Whether it be for me to get another tattoo or another piercing. I love to pierce myself and others. I long for the practice and the excitement. I love to have people admire my piercings or cringe when they hear about them or see them. I work as a teacher in a day care so it is funny to see the women I work with have different expressions when they ask about a piercing I have and if I have any others. I work with some teenagers who think it is cool and some my age and older who think I am crazy. I think no matter where I work, people will look at me differently and back off a bit. I wish that there was a place I could go to and they would accept me no matter what I had pierced. That is why I love BME. I am not the only one on here that is pierced and am accepted for who I am.
At A Glance Author Daygana Contact hotmamma28@yahoo.com When A month ago Artist Myself Studio my home Location Michigan I do not condone anyone to pierce themselves and to not allow a friend to do it to save money. What I do with my body is my own doing and if I fail, then I have to suffer the consequences. I have pierced myself and others over the years and am going to apprentice this fall at a tattoo parlor near me. I think body mods are fun, beautiful, expressive, and a persons perogative. I don't think someone should be condemned because they have a nose ring or other piercings. I think everyone is different and you need to know someone on the inside before you can pass judgement. No one is perfect and no one should be treated differently because of the way they dress or look.
I work with children so I do have to watch what I look like, unfortunately. So since I had that itch to get something new, I decided to go with labia piercings. I did not know if I should do the inner or outer. I dropped my drawers and bore all for the mirror. I thought for my type the inner would be better, and less of a hassle. I got out my 14gauge needle from the package and put it in some alcohol and then on a paper towel. I picked out some 14 gauge cbr and sterilized them also. I put them on the same towel. I sterilized the two labia's and all around for good measure. I like to be very cautious when it comes to my piercings. I put a towel down on the floor for the blood, just in case.
I sat on the towel, naked, and examined the area for placement. I know from past piercings that I do not use a clamp when it comes to my nether regions. OUCH. I will not do that again. I found that no clamp when piercing that stuff is better. I positioned the needle, took deep breaths, prayed for mercy, and stuck it through. I was very surprised it did not hurt like my triangle or hood. I was so happy, since I still had another to go. I got the ring in with no problem and was bleeding a little.
I dabbed the area and got ready for ring number two. I think I like balance so when I do something with two, like my nipples, I like them both done, no matter what. I did the same thing, breathing, praying, and all. That one was easier then the last. I was so amazed. I put the ring in and stood up to get a look. That is when I felt the burning and pain from salt that was on my body. I also felt the blood trickling down. I put on one of those light day pads for cleanliness and blood catching. I was doing ok, if I walked like a bowlegged dork.
I slept ok, almost forgetting the piercing. I awoke and did my normal routine with no problem. I did have a little trouble putting my legs together in a pair of jeans. It was tight and uncomfortable. I am doing ok a day later. The day went by ok. I did work and walk normally so no one would think I had a broomstick up my butt. I really don't want someone to read this and say, gee I think I will pierce myself. I have read the facts and done the research and would not do anything I did not think I could on myself or anyone. It is not safe and it is not a good idea. No one wants to get something done that will cause permanent damage or scarring. It is dangerous and not smart. I do hope people go to a professional to do piercings, especially those that are related to your privates.
