About a month after my very mod-unfriendly girlfriend and I decided to break up, I found myself aching for something that I had, until that point, only somewhat secretly toyed with in my head- pussy perforation. I can say the idea really hit me in conversation with my best friend and lover, who understood that my newfound freedom lay on several different levels, and suggested that I finally make real my fantasy of having metal in my cunt. After much deliberation, I decided on getting two 14ga CBRs in the right side of my outer labia, since they would look good alone and would also leave room to add more later.
At A Glance Author trajikeyes Contact trajikeyes@iu.zzn.com IAM trajikeyes When Six months ago Artist james Studio twisted sol Location denver, CO I have another experience listed on BME, in which I gush unnecessarily about the beauty of the work at bound by design. However, while I am still quite pleased with the work that they did on my left nipple, I am a firm believer that the best body artists in Denver can be found at twisted sol; so, shortly after making my decision to pierce my labia, I found myself with my aforementioned best friend walking in their doors. Up to that point, I had only been pierced by Alicia (my regular piercer goddess who did my perfectly symmetrical double bridge, left nostril, and lower right-side lip) and Tess (septum), but their work was so lovingly and beautifully done that I was excited to find that I would be pierced by someone new, James.
As always, the friendliness of the staff helped to further excite me about what was about to be done- James ushered us into the piercing room and had me lift my skirt, spending several minutes marking and re-marking my labia to make sure that the piercings would sit just right. Upon finding the perfect two spots (and having me check to make sure that I liked them- something that I particularly love about twisted sol which I've not encountered anywhere else I've been pierced is their serious attention to detail: they truly look upon what they do as art, and understand and appreciate the personal importance of each modification. it's always felt to me as though they treat the piercings that they do as their own, rather than as something impersonal attached to someone whom they don't know and don't care much about), James instructed me on how to sit against the wall with my knees up, heels on his thighs as he sat between my legs, a position that I thought would feel particularl y demeaning but ended up feeling fairly (strangely) natural, as his amicable manner and conversation kept me totally at ease. When I was ready, he prepared the first needle.
Pain is not generally a consideration for me when contemplating a new modification- I enjoy and revel in the experience, all of it, knowing that it is something sacred and unique and no matter what else gets done, I will never be in that moment with that piercer and that exact part of my body again. As part of that celebration, I like to make note of every sensation that passes through me and I will say that of all of the modifications that I've had done, there was nothing quite like the feeling of a needle sliding through my labia. Intense is a good word- I'd compare it to something white hot, because I remember seeing white behind my eyes and it was certainly a burning sensation. Truly, the pain only lasted for the second that the needle went through, but the emotional and physical rush that accompanied everything that I felt made it almost overwhelming. After fitting the first CBR (if I remember correctly, he did the bottom piercing first), I felt somewhat shaky, so took a 5 minute time-out to calm my nerves and get a drink (something else I love about twisted sol- no plain grape juice, they have fun exotic juice flavors :)). The second piercing was more difficult for me simply because my body knew what was coming, so I was jittery and found myself grabbing the table and my best friend's hand at the touch of the clamps to the second set of markings. However, the second piercing itself went just as smoothly as the first and, looking down, I was overjoyed to find gorgeous shiny steel where before there had been nothing but flesh. Tipped James generously (must give love to the people who poke me :)).
Walking out of the studio was a lot easier than I had imagined it to be- while I could definitely feel the piercings, I was much more conscious of the swelling than I was of any sort of real discomfort or of the jewelry itself. The only change in sensation in walking or moving around came when the jewelry moved, but it was a rare occurrence, so I would say that at least for me, the idea that genital piercings constrict one's range of motion is untrue. I did have an issue at first keeping toilet paper away from the jewelry while it was healing as it tended to move it and make it sting a bit, but that soon became a non-issue. It took about a month for me to feel as though I was healed to a point where playing with the jewelry was comfortable, although I still don't play much because it's so easy for the tissue to stretch.
All in all, it was a wonderful, emotionally and physically charged experience- I've become something of an exhibitionist (and from what I've heard, this seems to be a frequent occurrence in genitally modded womyn) and have yet to have encountered anyone who hasn't commented on the beauty of the piercings and how neat the contrast between silky, moist cuntskin and smooth, hard metal feels, which has only served to increase my desire to finish my labia project and get one more above the two on the right and three to match on the left. Something about metal in girlparts...truly divine.
