My piercing adventure started out as pretty much a joke. Up until this point, I had only had my ears pierced. My fuck buddy kept telling me I should get my clit pierced. However, I just never thought I'd be up for that kind of pain. The last thing I wanted was a needle coming at my genitals! Still, the idea of body piercing was not totally out of the question. I just didn't know where to get one. I first saw the Christina piercing on BME. Once I saw it, I knew that was the one. I was a little worried though that the piercing might interfere with masturbation. (I have a unique dry-humping sort of style.) That still remains to be seen though...I have to heal first. But... I digress.

I first went to see Max at his studio to get a tattoo and to be measured for a Christina. An imposing man to say the least, I was a little scared to talk to him...let alone allow him to stick sharp things in my pussy. Much to my surprise though, he was extremely nice and very easy to talk to. I asked a lot of questions. How long would it take to heal? How do I take care of it? Can I still shave? Will I be able to have sex before the six to eight weeks was over. (Thankfully, the answer was "Yes"...doggie style was the suggested position of choice. Luckily, also my preferred position for sex.)
Figuring I would only be getting measured, I had no problem sitting down to do just that...be measured. I fully expected that he would have to order the jewelry, therefore, leaving me time to think about it a little more. I was completely unprepared when Max told me he had the stuff in the shop and could do it that day. Now the pressure was on. I told him I would think about it while I got my tattoo. As much as I tried, I couldn't work up the nerve, and I wussed out. I left Max's without a piercing...bitching even then about how much of a chicken I was. As I walked out the door, Max said, "The next time you come here, you're getting SOMETHING pierced." Next I had to face my friends and tell them that I didn't go through with it. After endless taunting for being a pussy, I decided to get it done when I went for my next tattoo. That way I could get mentally prepared before I went.
I thought about possibly taking someone along with me to hold my hand, but then I worried about making an ass out of myself if I wussed out again or if I wasn't able to handle the pain. I tried coming up with previous instances where I had handled decent amounts of pain to psych myself up. The day finally came to get my next tattoo. I never mentioned the piercing to Max when I got to his studio...nor did he mention it to me. I almost wimped out again, but then decided ...fuck it...you only live once! After the tattoo was finished, I was kind of hesitating to leave. Max asked me if I was still thinking about the piercing. I told him I was and asked a few more questions. After I thought I had sufficiently asked all of the questions I wanted answered...I said, "Let's do this."
Max got all the stuff ready. It seemed like it took forever because I was nervous as hell. After he got all of his equipment ready, he called me back. I depantsed myself and assumed the position...spread eagle with a death grip on the arms of the chair. Definitely a compromising position to be in when the person in front of you has access to a needle. The forceps were a little unpleasant, however, that was only the appetizer for things to come. Max coached me through a few deep breaths then did the deed. I must say it hurt like a motherfucker!! But at least it didn't last long. (Although I'm pretty sure it was longer than Max predicted.) I have to say, though, I found the whole experience pretty fucking erotic!!
The little bit of puffiness I had afterwards was gone by the next day. There was never any bruising at all from the forceps, and it bled very little. I even showed a few people at work. They were shocked to see I was actually pain-free.
Now that it's all said and done, I'm glad I did it. Other than the initial pain of the needle, the piercing has felt great. I think I shocked a few people by getting it done. Someone asked me if I was having a mid-life crisis! (I didn't think I was THAT old!) I'm just anxious for it to be completely healed so that I can buy some new jewelry for it. If you're in the Pittsburgh area and thinking of having a tattoo or piercing, I highly recommend you go see Max at Mad Max Tattoos. He kicks ass! Thanks Max!!
