About two years ago I decided to have one of my nipples done. Unfortunately for me I wasn't eighteen yet nor did I have the cash. So to help with my anxiousness I scoped everything out. Not Far from where I worked at the time, in all reality directly across the parkinglot, is this place called the Mobb Shop. It's your typical Tatto shop, Bared windows, a showcase in front, Walls plastered with artwork and all that. Anyway on one of my few nights off I paid them a visit.
At A Glance Author GreyFaux Contact Faux@antisocial.com When Two years ago Artist Larry/hiswife Studio Mobb Shop Location Aurora, Co USA Larry owns and operated the shop with the help of his wife, who's name has escaped me. I went in and asked the general questions, how much and how soon. Larry was quick to answer, $50 and about anytime. satisified with his answer I checked my wallet. Sadly I had to wait a week before I had the spare cash.
The week went by and I made the appointment the day before between school(and the people rejoyce, yea) and work (ditto). I made the appointment for about five, giving me time to gather a couple of friends and prep myself for the expierence.
The next day of classes I payed less attention than usual. At lunch I had to get another pack of smokes, I was chainsmoking from aprhension. Finally my last class was over and I caught my first friend, Andy, with little trouble. Then I reminded Bobby when and where it was going to happen so he could meet us there. Now more waiting, Band practice. I could hardly concentrate on what I was doing and nearly got nailed for it. Practice finished up and I raced off to the shop, Andy holding on for dear life.
We get to the shop about half past four and Bobby isn't there. So I go through all the sighning and passing of money with Larry to pass time. Quarter till and no Bob. At this point I find out Larry isn't doing this one, his wife is. And so the time arrives and I'm not gonna wait, nor does it matter to me who is doing it. We go into the half booth and I strip to the waist. ?Dana? looks me over and says, "Your nipples are kinda small I don't know if we can do this."
I urge her on, I'm not gonna let anything get in the way now. She finally gives in and starts going through procedure. More news hits me, I'm her third nipple, ACK. Still I press on. She's got the marks where they should be and clamps down the COLD foreceps. At this moment Bob shows up. After Our usual greeting I return to the fact that my left nipple is in forceps and is about to be skewered. I start breathing exercises and all that and "Dana" asks the final question, "ready?" I nod and without notice boom the needle is through and the pain hits, hard. I suck in a deep, deep breath. And within a minet the ring it in. "Dana" asks me how Im doing and i manage to get out "Yea I'm oooooo shit" and nearly fall of the table. So I layed down for about five minets and got back up. She bandaged it and I was on my way.
Walking from the booth to the door I must have looked like a drunk, I drug my feet each step. And By the time I reached the car I was nearly completely gone. I let Andy drive. At this time I notice my shirt is wet, within ten minets of having it done I had bled through the bandage and my shirt, no wonder I was lightheaded.
The next week was Hell. My nipple continued to bleed profusly. I cleaned it 2-3 times daily and still it bleed. But after that week things improved greatly. Within another week I had healed enough not to notice. My girlfriend and I gave it a try, and we were both very entertained with it. So I decided I would get the other done.
Nearly Six months passed before I had the oppratunity or money to have it done. What with living with my parents over the summer and bills. But the time came and I went in and asked Larry when he was open. Next day again. This time Nicole, my girlfriend comes to watch. Much to my apprication Larry did this one. And to my suprise it took maybe five minets and was nearly painless! Another pit of good fortune with the second piercing was much, Much less blood.
Finally, yes I probably babbled, but oh well. Besides having to be streched after keeping them open with a sewing needle through basic, My pierced nipples have been nothing but fun.
