After nearly a year of contemplating and researching genital piercing, I decided that if I were to have anything done at all it would have to be a triangle. Although I received a lot of doubt from people, mostly responses like "don't get your hopes up, not everyone is physically capable of that", I was confident that I was built for it. So, on my 18th birthday I took a trip down to Primitive on a whim and not expecting anything to happen that particular day. Jason wasn't there, but I called him the following day and we had a nice long discussion and set up an appointment.

My friend and I went in and had a seat while waiting for Jason. When he was ready he came over and talked with me a little more and we picked out the appropriate jewelry sizes and I was escorted into the room. He's really a wonderful person, one of those people that make you feel completely at ease as soon as he starts talking to you (something I feel is very important in his line of work). He had a look at me and found that I was able to have the triangle done. As I had suspected : ). He talked through the entire procedure, explaining all the tools and intricacies of what was about to happen. He chose a pair of plastic clamps, stuck a rubber band on them to ensure their grip, and adjusted them to my body. I felt really uncomfortable in the clamp (it felt as though my clit was in the uppermost part of the clamp and it freaked me out), so he clamped it again and pulled to make sure it was out of the way... it was... so he pierced it. It hurt, but it wasn't as bad as I had thought it would be. I was so nervous that when it was over, and I was still alive, it was just a relief (and a nervous release). I couldn't stop laughing! I had no problem standing up and there was no pain. And just to reassure him that I felt fine I just pranced around on my legs for a minute, I was fine. He gave me some Dum Dums for my blood sugar and I was on my way out the door.
I found later that while clamped the second time, my clit and nerves were, in fact, well out of the way... they were under the clamp! I walked out with a double labia piercing! I called Jason the next day, he was as surprised as I was and eager to help and get the situation resolved. I went in a few days later, as I happened to be in the neighborhood. He had a look at me and saw what had happened, what had gone wrong, what his mistakes were and exactly what should be done the next time to make it work. I decided to keep it anyway, and that I would go back in a few weeks, after it heals a bit, to have it redone. I didn't blame him at all, I actually blamed myself more, I should have noticed the mistake but I was so strung out that I wouldn't have noticed anything.
As it was not intended to be a labia piercing, the placement was not the best... it was so close to my body that it could not withstand any friction at all. It ripped and stretched frequently. Not wanted to be left with 4 scars that I didn't want in the first place, I took it out last Saturday, 3 or 4 weeks after the initial piercing. I made an appointment for that coming Friday, two days ago.
I was terrified... the first one hurt bad enough. It was bearable and over with quickly, but it was still a substantial amount of pain. Knowing what is involved with both piercings, I was expecting it to hurt a LOT more this time. Thankfully I was wrong. It was the same thing over again, with the clamping and everything. I realize it probably would've been fine with the clamp, but it just made me nervous, just felt too close for comfort. After a few tries with the clamp, he decided we might have better luck with a tube. He could maneuver around the nerves and my clit much easier and much more comfortably (on my part). So we did it that way, it was a success. Everything went fine, and although it hurt a little more than the first time, the feeling was very different. The first time it felt like a very sharp pain, over quickly. The second time, although it was more intense, it felt warmer (if that makes sense at all) and a lot smoother... and interesting. I felt the needle all the way through as it went deeper and deeper until it was out the other side like it was in slow motion. Jewelry insertion was much more discomforting. After that, it was all over. No pain... lots of blood though.
That was two days ago. We chose a 12g cbr, fairly large but fitted to me perfectly, the same as the first time. At this point its impossible to say how stimulating it will be. It feels like the ring is too thin for much stimulation at all and I suspect that I'll want to stretch it in time, but its still much too fresh for experimentation. I still don't blame Jason, he is the only person I would've trusted with this piercing and everything was ok in the end : )
