It was the one piercing that I wanted to get. I'm quite fond of the idea of body modification but at the time I have a few restrictions: my age, the amount of money I make and the whole transportation thing. I'm doing pretty well for my self, having eleven holes put into me in the past year, but I still wanted to get my nipple done.
At A Glance Author Aeval Contact Aeval@bme.anon When Three months ago Studio Stainless Studios Location Toronto I remember being a child, in a park, seeing a man, big and covered with tatoos with his nipple pierced. I was scared, how could any one do that to themselves? Little did I know that that would be me in ten years.
It started with me bringing it up to my boyfriend at the time. I really wanted to get it done, he did too, but he didn't like the idea of another person touching my breasts. I held of for a while being the stupid girl that all girls are with things like that at first. After a while I dumped him and got right to what I wanted. I had arranged to go get pierced with my friend in Georgetown. She was going to get her hood pierced and I was going to get my nipple. It didn't go through so I went to a place in my town, they wouldn't pierce it without me being 18. I heard that Stainless would do it. I was so there.
I slept over at a friends house the night before and I took a train with two of my friends as the adventure started. I wasn't nervous, I've never felt any pain with any of my piercings, I didn't think this would be different. We got in filled out the usual and we had to wait because they were out of some equiptment, I can't remember what it was though.
My friend was getting her helix done and she hadn't eaten since the night before so we walked over to get subs to pass the time. Me being very excited that it was going to finally happen, rushed everyone's subs down their throats and dragged them back across the street.
I got in the room, and sat down and talked with the piercer and my friends. We talked for a while but finally it was time to get down to business. I took off my clothes and she prepped my nip, I sat down, she clamped it, counted to three, and it went though. I didn't flinch, it was absolutly nothing. We all looked at it, I put on my clothes then we left.
I kept it clean, it healed really nicely. I was super careful with it until I got comfortable with it. The day after I got it done I couldn't stand in the cooler at work because it would start to ache, I got used to the little pains it brought, they were bearable and I didn't mind them.
No one at my school believed I got it done. My school at the time was small, 21 peeps. I figured I could show lots of people but then I decided against it. I wanted it to be a mysterious thing that no one knew about me. I got a lot of questions from them and people at my work about the pain factor and what it's like. I simply replied with I don't feel it as pain and it's awesome.
Days went on and I was leaving for Temagami to go snowshoing with my friends for five days. The day before I left, I don't know how it happened, but it tore. My nipple ring some how got caught on something and tore slightly. I didn't think anything of it, I was leaving for Temagami the next day it didn't bother me that much after the bleeding stopped.
I didn't check it for a while while we were on the trails. I ran out of bactine and I was in the middle of nowhere it hurt a lot but I just sucked it up, until I got back to the main lodge. I knew it was bleeding along the 21 km we snowshoed in the past three days. It stopped and formed a nice scab which I cleaned up hoping that it would heal and be okay.
Ever since that day, it's about three and a half weeks after the trip pieces of the skin on the top of the ring have been falling off. My nip would hurt all day, when I'd get home there would be a small strip missing. It was quite interesting. Right now the ring is being held in by a milimetre of skin. I predicted it would be gone by the end of the week.
I loved my nipple ring, I'm sad to watch it go but I know I'll get it repierced as soon as I can.
