Even before my first genital piercing, my vertical hood, I was already toying with the idea of a genital project. While arguably less functional than vertical hood I was completely intrigued by outer labia corsets. The two lines of piercings were more than just beautiful. When complete it could be laced up, the CBRs could be interwoven or even locked shut with the keys left in someone else's care. The chastity play options seemed almost endless and my submissive side called out for it.
At A Glance Author Uberkitty Contact Uberkitty@bme.anon IAM Uberkitty When A month ago Artist Justin Studio Expressions Location Chapel Hill, NC I did as much research as I could. I kept hearing over and over again that outer labia piercings have a high rejection rate. All things being relative I couldn't make much of that. High as in surface piercing high? I was afraid to risk it but longed for the piercings.
I examined my own anatomy and came to the conclusion that I had rather prominent outer labia, this, coupled with my incredible immune system which some how manages to heal even the worst of the "bad idea" piercings would work to my advantage. I decided to go for it, one piercing at a time so that if I encountered any problems it would be easier to deal with.
I went to Expressions to check the price of genital piercings and when Justin saw me eyeing the price list he asked if I was planning anything. I told him I wanted my outer labia pierced but couldn't do it that day. I had just started my period the day before so I scheduled an appointment for a week later. I figured getting a genital piercing right after the end of my period would give it the maximum amount of healing time before the next one started, I did the same thing for my vertical hood and it seemed to work well.
A couple days before the piercing I went back to pick out the jewelry and ended up selecting a 10 gauge circular barbell with a diameter just under an inch. I talked to Justin about my planes. Since I wanted to eventually have 3 piercing on each side it would need to be placed accordingly and I also wanted, for no reason in particular, to start with the lowest piercing and later add two more above it.
When the piercing day finally arrived I put on some cotton underwear and loose jeans and headed to expressions. I was a bit early but didn't have to wait long. Since I was the first piercing of the day (they just opened) the room was already partially set up for me. The CBB I picked out and the needle were already set out in their autoclave packets. Justin lowered the piercing chair back and covered it in paper. While he finished the final set up I got undressed and laid back in the chair. There weren't any stirrups but he said I was one of the few girls that preferred them.
Justin cleaned the area with antiseptic and asked which side I wanted pierced. I really didn't care since I would get the other side done later so I just told him to pick a side and go for it. He started explaining to me the placement. Not too far down that it would increase the chance of twisting when I walked but still low enough two other piercings could easily fit above it. He asked if I wanted to check it first and he brought out a mirror for me to look. Everything looked great. He changed gloves again (I forgot how many times he did total but know he did at this point.) He had the needle ready and told me that if I was ready to take a deep breath in and exhale slowly, at which point he would pierce. When the needle went through I actually screamed "shit!" I've never done anything like that before but this stung more than most other piercings. However, it didn't hurt at all after that, not even a dull ache, so I guess the pain levels evened out in the end. He turned to get the jewelry but there was a problem. While he was fetching the circular barbell the needle had partially slide through so that the end of it was lost and he couldn't just follow it through. He changed gloves and fetched a taper from the autoclave. He managed to taper the entry hole back out and remove the needle so there was no need to repierce it. Once that little problem was solved he inserted the jewelry. I was given the aftercare, paid, and left.
Walking felt really odd, just as I had expected, but only for the first couple of hours. Sitting down however, felt incredibly odd for at least four days. So much so that instead of just sitting normally I would sit on one foot at an angle so that the circular barbell didn't touch anything. Other than that everything was normal, I still wore my normal clothes and underwear and it didn't interfere with my sleeping. By the end of a week I could sit normally again. Not once did it ever bleed. I'm about halfway through the initial healing time right now and it's healing beautifully. It's a great start to my labia corset and I plan to continue staggering each one until I finish.
