A Liberating Experience

I have always been into piercings since I was very little. I was the first person in my family to get their ears pierced. When I found out you could pierce more than just your ears and nose, I was hooked. At first I wasn't really into female genital piercings. Then one day I saw a picture on BME of a triangle piercing done my Jon Cobb (who did my labret, and I absolutely adore). Well, anyway, I was in love with the piercing. So I read every article I could, and all the healing facts, etc.

I told my boyfriend of my plans for my genitals, and he didn't really seem to care. So I continued my research and began to make plans. Since the last time I was pierced was by Jon Cobb when he was working in Philly several years ago, I wasn't really sure where I should go. I finally decided to go to a well known place in the city. After work I picked up my boyfriend and we drove and hour to the city. I got there and was very nervous. I spoke with the piercer for a few minutes, and he informed me that not all women are built properly to get a triangle. I already knew this, and was prepared for the heart breaking news. He told me he would not be able to pierce me that night, due to regulations they had for that type of piercing, but he said while I was there he would check to see if I was able to get it. So I went in the back, and dropped my drawers. After a few moments of looking, and me standing and sitting in different positions, he told me he wasn't sure, I would have to wait to talk to the owner. A bit depressed I left my name and phone # and started the long drive home. My boyfriend would not speak to me the whole way. I asked him what was wrong, but he insisted it was nothing. I dropped him off at his house, and headed back to my house. When I got home there was a message on my answering machine from my boyfriend. He was very upset that I was ok with some guy looking and poking at my genitals. I was pissed that this was the first time he mentioned that he wasn't ok with this, especially when I had asked him several times what he thought. We spent several days arguing about it. But his objections were too late, I had already made up my mind.

I grew inpatient waiting for the piercer to call me back. Then I remembered I knew Tiffany, a piercer at Inferno. I gave her a call, and she told me to come in on Saturday. To my surprise my boyfriend decided to accompany me, even though he still didn't want me to do it. Back to the city we went. We got to the shop, and the first thing she did was take me in the back to see if I was suited for the piercing. To her surprise, I was built for it. I was SO happy, but that was the moment my nervousness set in. She picked out the jewelry and showed it to me. I agreed with her choice, so I signed the consent forms, while she pierced another customer who was waiting.

Then it was my turn. We went back into the back room and she began to set up. She explained the benefits of the piercing, most of which I already knew. She also explained to me why it was called a triangle. She cleaned me off, and then made the marks. My boyfriend was amazingly good for all of this, he made jokes which really helped to calm me down. She clamped me, and my heart began to beat really fast, and so hard I thought for sure it would pound right through my chest. Then one, two, three, and it was through. It wasn't nearly as bad as I had expected it to be. I laid on the table for a few moments. My head was spinning, I couldn't believe I actually did it! She wiped off the blood, and gave me some gauze pads to put in my underware. Then she explained the aftercare, and gave me a paper with all the info I would need. I walked even more bow legged than usual back to the car. It healed amazingly quick. Every time I go to the bathroom, I look down and smile. I think it is so pretty! My boyfriend has even come to love it. I used to be so submissive, and I would do what ever he wanted me to. Now I have reclaimed my body.
