Well let me tell you about my journey towards getting my nipple piercings. A friend of mine had gotten hers done about 6 months ago, and ever since then I began so seriously consider doing it myself... I am a big girl, and I wear a large C-cup and I had always felt that my nipples were small but I had never had anyone say anything, but from seeing pictures mine seemed that they were, and they also didn't stick out much, when I began this journey I didn't know the correct term for this. So this naturally made me a little shy and insecure about it. I had had my eyebrow pierced twice, my nose, and my tongue and numerous ear piercings, but this was different. Then one day I got up the courage to go get it done. I had made up my mind. I was going to get my nipples pierced!

So I paid for my jewelry and went into his booth, and he was really nice and asked me to remove all clothes from my waist up, and he started taking a look at my nipples, and I sat there very nervous, I had never taken off my shirt in front of a guy I had never really even talked to before. He marked them and told me he was a little wary about piercing me, since my nipples didn't stick out. At this point I started to feel a little discouraged, and I remember him saying something about inverted nipples, I can't remember about how he said it relating to me, I felt in a bit of a daze, and he said he didn't feel comfortable piercing me, and he didn't think he should. So, I left, disappointed but strangely euphoric that I had even gone to do it, I knew I would never have to say, what if....? So I was proud of myself.
But I wasn't ready to stop there. I started visiting BME a few months afterwards and I had started hearing the term "inverted nipples" thrown around, and I thought, hmmm... I should look into this. So I searched the QOD section and found a few answers regarding inverted nipples, and that got me thinking I could still do it. So I asked the very wise people at the qod and they said I should be able to do it. So then I searched the story section and found a story, that was very similar to what had happened to me. And the place she got pierced was near me! I wrote her and she was really nice, and I promptly called them and as soon as I talked to Sharrin (the piercer) I was filled with a feeling of elation! I got a really good feeling from her just over the phone, and I decided to go that very day.
I dragged my friend along with me, and Sharrin told us to check out some jewelry for a few minutes and she would be right inside. When she came in she took me into her room so she could check out what my nipples looked like. She told me my nipples were pretty much inverted, but she could do them, she has had experience with them. So she located the jewelry for me, after measuring my nipples(my one bodypart I never expected to get measured) 14g 5/8" straight barbells. Then it was time for the piercing.
I once again found myself topless in front of a stranger, but Sharrin was great, she made me feel very comfortable, and she told me that she herself had inverted nipples, which is kind of the reason she had taken them on as her "specialty" if you will, and they are very successful when done correctly. This made me feel more confident about things. She marked them and it was time for me to lie down. She had me breathe in and out, and on the last exhale she said "let it out really hard" and I had had my eyes shut and saw a flash of red and a white heat in my nipple, and I was pierced!!!! My first reaction was, whoa! It was a rush, then it was time for the second one, she told me to do the same and that one hurt a bit more, just more heat. The barbells were in, the little bit of blood wiped up and I was done! When I looked in the mirror I liked what I saw. I felt great.
Ever since getting them marked and looked at the first time, I felt they would be empowering, make me more aware of my femininity and more confident in myself. I have had them a week now, and they have done that, and I am extremely happy with them. I think they are definitely my favorite piercings. I would recommend them to just about anyone. All you inverted nipple girls, if you are considering it, go to someone with experience and make it a positive experince for you. You can email me if you want to ask questions.
