Since I was fifteen there was always a piercing that I'd really wanted, but I'd never thought I would ever get the balls to actually stick a piece of metal trough my crotch - not in it but on it- . The Christina is by far the cutest piercing I have ever seen, and although I'd been contemplating getting it for four years at three o'clock in the morning in May I decided I was going to get it pierced. The next morning I sat on the computer for hours reading some stories on BME and doing some research on it to find out what kind of healing process it'd take and such and all the stories we're pretty scary, the terrible bleeding, the atrocious pain, the long healing and girls even piercing it themselves (and I am a firm believer in never piercing yourself unless you're a professional or at least have the right tools) but non of it would stop me.
At A Glance Author asha Contact asha@bme.anon When A year ago Artist Ryan Studio Divine Location whyte ave edmonton My friend's boyfriend was a piercer at a little shop on Whyte ave. and I confessed my infatuation towards this genital piercing and he thought it was so awesome, and wanted me to let him be the one to pierce it. As the time came closer I became super nervous about him being 'down there' for so long, just looking at my vagina, but at the same time I was ready just because I wanted it so bad, and now I was going to get it. I slept over at my friend Kelly's the night I was getting it done, so she could come and hold my hand. That night my stomach was so uneasy and I was shaking. I was so scared and I had no idea why, I have other piercing's so I was ready for the pain. Kelly told me to just shut up it would not hurt more than my veridical labret which was true because that thing was so painful I wanted to die but I still could not get over my anxiety so I woke up and went on her computer to find out more information I'd have to know, some cleaning instructions and anatomy stuff. I was not very please to read that it rejects easily and heals slowly, but this was something I was willing to risk.
On the day I went in, my piercest was already setting up with the needles all in sterilized bag. I was not as scared as I thought id be, but i was nervous. We went into a room and he read me my rights, the dos and don'ts cleaning and so forth. Then we went into a different room with a chair thing that was almost like a dentist chair and got to business. He was really comforting about it, explaining how he would tell me what he was doing, as he was doing it. We placed a purple dot on my crotch while I was laying on the bed (bad idea! Do it standing up and stare in the mirror to make sure its perfect) of where we thought it should be and it appeared to be in the appropriate spot. The clamp was so uncomfortable, I'd never had anyone use a clamp on my other two professionally done piercings (nipple and lip) but I had heard that it was pretty painful. He had me do some breathing patterns, and I was ready. As the needle went through my skin a hot sensation went up my spine, running up to my shoulders and mind. It stung for a mini second and then he told me "The spicy parts over, anything that would be painful is done". Spicy is EXACTLY how Id describe that feeling down my spine. I started to smile. It was a lot easier then the sights on BME made me think they'd be. We were going to take pictures for the site but Kelly's camera would not work, so we never got any pictures, I was sort of upset about that. They passed me the mirror as I stared at my new friend, but there was something wrong, when I closed my legs it was a lot farther down than I wanted it. He explained this would help it from migrating so quickly. So I said my goodbyes and left with my panties in my purse.
At home I stared at it and stared at it, and realized, I hated it! It wasn't where I wanted it, it wasn't what I wanted. I began to cry and was so scared to call back my piercest and tell him how sad it made me. But I had too, he would've never been able to do anything about it unless I told him. I called the shop and explained everything to him and he was really good about it and told me we'd just have to do it again. So I said goodbye to my deep christina and let it heal.
Two weeks later I went down and I met up with my piercests girlfriend who said she would escort me since Kelly was working, this time there was no camera. I went through everything again except this time we put on the dots standing up – much much better – I laid myself onto the cold chair for my second time and spread my legs. This time the pain was non- existent. It was the easiest thing I've ever done to my body! I started to laugh as hard as possible once the barbel was in. It was so beautiful and I could not have been happier and now I REALLY did have some balls.
Its been almost been a full year and the only problems I have had are the balls on my barbel embedding from the post being too short within the first month when it was swollen which went away when I changed the post to something longer, and occasionally if I play with it too often or move it or wear pants without undies it will get irritated and red and I only clean it with shower water now, nothing else touches it. I don't think it has healed 100% yet but it never bothers me. It is very much worth everything I have gone through with it and if you are thinking about getting it done I would say do it! The pain only lasts for a little while but your christina will be there longer than that, just be prepared to take lots of care of it, its not like a navel or nose ring, watch it closely.
