At A Glance Author shannon Contact shannon@bme.anon When It just happened Artist Ruth Studio Urban Piercings Location Reading, England I would of never DREAMED of getting a genital piercing before my boyfriend suggested it would look good. My boyfriend is heavily into body modification and I wanted to make him happy by getting a few. Maybe a labret, or a small tattoo, or a tongue ring. But NEVER a genital piercing. As a spur of the moment idea we decided to go to our favorite piercing studio and get some genital piercings. He was going to get a PA and I would get my hood done. They both turned out great, better than I could ever expect and I assumed that was the only genital piercing I would ever get.
As time went by my boyfriend got some frenums and stretched his Prince Albert and as I sat by and watched all this I started to want another piercing. The hood just wasn't enough.
I looked through the BME site and looked at all the options and decided between the triangle and the Christina. I spent about two weeks decided which one I wanted. It was a very hard decision because I knew the triangle would hurt less and on top of that my boyfriend really wanted me to have the triangle. Now, there are not a lot of pictures of the Christina on any web site but the ones that I did find were absolutely gorgeous. I've never found a genital piercing gorgeous or beautiful, but the Christina seemed to add a certain something beautiful to a womans body. I had to have it. It took much convincing from myself and my boyfriend to get it because I knew it was a surface piercing, which meant it was going to hurt much more than the hood or a triangle. I also knew there was a chance of it migrating. But the day before I went to get it I knew positively which I wanted: The Christina.
My boyfriend and I set off for Reading and we were both really excited and nervous (he was going to get his amphallang done). When we got there we had to wait a while for Ruth(our piercer) to show up. When she showed up she did a few other piercings before us because she knew we would take a while and didn't want people in the waiting room.
When it came time for us she locked the shop and put a sign on the door that said they were closed for appointments. This is where I got really scared. I urged my boyfriend to go first and his took about 15 minutes all together. His amphallang was gorgeous.
But then It was my turn.
I wore a skirt this time because when I got my hood I wore jeans and it made things more difficult. She told me to lie down on the table and take off my underwear. I wasn't embarrassed because my boyfriend and I had gotten to know Ruth and she is a very patient, understanding piercer. She's been in the business 15 years and I wouldn't have my genitals pierced by anyone else on the planet.
So I lay there with my legs spread and she inspects me, and then makes the markings. She shows me where the markings are and I say that would be great and then I knew what was coming next so I laid back, held on to my boyfriends hands and closed my eyes. I opened them just at the right moment to get a glance of the needle. For a second I was going to pussy out but then I could feel it begin and I closed my eyes again.
She pushed the needle through and I'm not going to lie, it hurt A LOT. I could feel the top layer of my skin pop. I was a little shaky and refused to open my eyes. My boyfriend was telling me all that was happening, "putting the jewellery in...screwing on the ball...done!"
I opened my eyes and looked down. I was so happy, I had actually did it and it looked amazing. Ruth got me a mirror so I could get a better look. I was so pleased.
It only bled a little bit. I got up no problem and put my underwear back on. It didn't hurt at all! I was so amazed. I felt fine and was walking fine and everything. Ruth talked to us each about our piercings, and since she closed the shop we hung around a bit and just chatted about music and piercing. When it came time to leave we thanked her, paid her and left. My boyfriend and I walked back to the car so happy. We couldn't stop smiling.
When I got home I took a mirror and played around with it and it is truly my favorite piercing.
