I first became interested in genital piercings about a year ago, but never really looked into it properly as the thought of dropping my pants so that someone could stick a needle through my bits terrified me!
At A Glance Author Sophia Contact gigglewigglelavender7@hotmail.com When A month ago Artist Alex Studio Abserlute Piercing Location Southport, UK So time when on and about 6 months ago I broke up with my long term boyfriend, yes I was crushed, yes I cried a lot and cutting a long story short, I knew that I had to move on. So there I was recovering on the internet (as you do) when I came across genital piercings again whiles searching BME. Now at this point, I had been looking at clit piercings, as I felt it was more significant and demanding, which was what I was wanting. This however, would mean lots and lots of pain, which at the time I didn't think I was able to go through. So there I was again looking through the archives when I found it. A Christina piercing. It was beautiful and as soon as I saw it I knew that it was what I had to have. This would be it, my new start and it wasn't me just telling myself this, I actually felt it.
So the next week I went off with my friend Vicki to book her tragus piercing, and to ask whether or not Alex (my piercer) would be able to do my Christina. I let her ask first and then when everyone else went out of the shop I asked him and he said yes! I was so excited I booked it for as soon as possibly which turned out to be about 4 days later.
The days passed so slowly and eventually Friday came, much to my relief. Vicki's appointment was first and so in the time that Alex was preparing for that, I don't think iv ever had as many people ask me if I was ok or if I was nervous. And I wasn't, it was very strange because usually I am a nervous wreck, but for this I wasn't. It was very significant to me and I think this feeling surpassed all at that point.
Alex called me into the room, (which was perfect and clean as usual) and talked me through the procedure. Then I was told to take off my pants which was by far the most embarrassing bit because while trying to take off my knickers I fell over! Oh dear! So I sat on the bed thing while he marked it up, I wanted it to be vertical to be inline with my navel bar. I was then told that I would have to lie down for the piercing part so I reluctantly did so (I like watching if I can) a prepared myself for the pain taking deep breathes. I'm not going to lie, it hurt A LOT! Not so much on the way in, but as the needle passed out, my god! It was terrible. Kind of like someone scratching a really sharp stick through your skin. Not a pleasant feeling! But as soon as the needle was through I couldn't feel a thing, 5 seconds of pain and that was it!
Alex waited a while before he put the jewellery through and the congratulated me on how well I had done, although I think he failed to hear me screaming and swearing! I got up and looked down, there it was, and it was beautiful. A bit bloody but very beautiful! When I walked out of the room my friends outside just looked sick. They had heard me scream and were all cringing (even though that had been a good 5 minutes earlier)and I had to tell them of the whole experience because apparently at some point I was giggling? who know?! We stayed a while and waited for my other friend to get his tongue pierced and then I paid Alex and thanked him.
The rest of the day involved me prancing around my room (yes I could prance!) looking in the mirror all of the time at it, once I had cleaned the blood off of it. Iv showed all of my friends, all of who were really shocked and surprised at how pretty it is, as more people think of genital piercings as clit piercings.
Iv now had my Christina for about a month and its healing perfectly. The bruising went down after a couple of days where the clamps had been and the only time I was in pain was if I crossed my legs funny (which I don't do often). Iv gone from cleaning I everyday with saline to just doing 2 salt soaks per week and its going strong and showing no signs whatsoever of migrated or rejection.
I would recommend this piercing to anyone who wants something a little bit special 'down there' and can stand 5 seconds of pain. And that was it. Honest.
