I've been wanting a Christina piercing for probably well over five years now, since the first time I saw a picture of one. To me it was pretty and private, but wasn't placed where it would cause desensitization or get in the way of any of the other fun things I get into from time to time. The problem was, I had quite a few qualms with sitting spreadeagle in a shop, fluorescents overhead, getting jabbed in the bits by someone I didn't know, so I put the idea on hold. It never really left my mind though, because I kept coming back to wanting a genital piercing.
At A Glance Author Miss Heather Contact Miss Heather@bme.anon IAM miss_heather When It just happened Artist Ryan from Modified Soul Studio my home Fast forward probably five years - I've since gotten engaged... sorta... (long story) and i've had many, many discussions with the boy (who used to be a piercer) about wanting genital piercings and which ones he'd like to see me with, which ones I particularly liked, and which ones would be best suited to my anatomy, without getting in the way in bed. I told him that I'd long wanted a Christina and he agreed that it would look good on me, that my anatomy would support it well, and it shouldn't get in the way or cause problems.
After those discussions, my boy suggested that a friend of his, Ryan from Modified Soul here in Columbus, do the piercing for me. He suggested Ryan because he had done my boy's frenum ladder years ago and apparently had an amazing hand with a needle. He also suggested we do it at home, as to make me more comfortable. Upon those suggestions, I was more than ready to do this.
We made the plans with Ryan to come over and do the piercing after I got off work. I made sure to eat something beforehand so I wouldn't get sick (it's happened before). We decided to use my bedroom rather than the living room, because there was more room and I could lie down more comfortably. And so, we get down to business...
I'm laying on the bed with a clean towel under my butt because I don't know how much, if any, this is going to bleed, spreadeagle in front of some guy I don't know very well and my fiance, getting marked. It's funny, but it wasn't nearly as awkward as I'd expected. I think that's because my boy was there. At first we couldn't decide on if he wanted to use clamps for this one or not and I told him that unless he clamped them down tight enough to cut off circulation, that I didn't care. Clamps don't usually hurt me. So, he puts on the clamps, which honestly didn't hurt any more than nicking yourself shaving, and lines the needle up.
One deep breath in, one out, one in... and on we go. Needle's through. I tensed up a bit, did my exhale through my teeth as per usual, but that hardly hurt at all! Jewelry's through. I honestly didn't even feel the jewelry go through or when he tightened down the ball. Hell, I've had ingrown hairs that hurt more than that. After he set the needle and the jewelry, Ryan even looked at me and said that I had the perfect anatomy for this piercing and laughed and said that's a compliment I probably never expected to hear. Didn't bleed at all, either... well, save for the teeny little bit of blood crusties that I expected when I woke up. I also got a rather amusing compliment from my boy... when I get pierced, I don't yelp, I don't curse, I don't wince. All I do is exhale hard through my teeth, so I hiss. My boy had never seen me get pierced before and he just smiled and said "good girl, you didn't even wince."
So, I just got it last night and I would have expected it to hurt a good bit more today, given that it got a little bit of rough handling last night... I know, I know, should have waited, but I know we've all heard of the "f*ck or fight" reaction when people get pierced... Guess which reaction I have. Lol. But either way, I honestly forget it's there already unless I turn a little funny and it twists with my body. I'm just afraid it will get caught on my underwear while it's healing, although Ryan picked the jewelry he did so it would sit just right and not catch on my clothing when I moved. Guess I'll just go commando for a little while, just in case. Couldn't hurt, right?
And now I wait... next is the labia, I think. Inner or outer, I'm not sure yet, but I think i'm going to let the boy do those...
