I'd toyed around with the idea of a body piercing for quite some time. After much research (thanks to BME), I narrowed my choices down to either a Prince Albert or an Apadravya. A few years ago the whole idea of putting holes in my body (especially down there!!) would have been sickening to me, but it's funny how you change in certain ways as you grow older. Now, I found the thought of a piece of cold steel coming out of my dick or my nipple to be excitingly erotic.

The whole two-months without any contact thing was sort of a bummer, I wasn't sure if I would be able to contain myself for that long, or at least wasn't sure if I was ready to try. So instead, I settled on something a little more "tame" -- my nipple.
The day of fate seemed to come as a snap decision. Although I had been determined to get pierced for what seemed like a long time, I was never really sure when I would actually do it. One fine Friday happened along though, and I simply had the cash and it just seemed like the right time. So, my girlfriend Erin and I headed to Eternal Tattoos in Livonia, MI; the same shop I got my first tattoo. That had been a wonderful experience, so I trusted them to go back for my piercing.
I walked into the store, and the first thing I noticed was how clean the place looked. I wandered through the store among a few young girls adorned with navel & tongue piercings, and examined the several display cases set up. There were all types of jewelry for any kind of piercing imaginable. Some of the jewelry looked incredibly intimidating, but fascinating at the same time. I had seen enough; it was time to take the plunge.
I walked up to the counter, and the young dark-haired girl sitting behind it asked me what I'd like to get done. I responded with pride and fear in my voice, "My nipple pierced". "Alright, that's 60 dollars for a barbell, 65 for a hoop. Just fill out this form and let me see your ID." Swallowing the lump in my throat, I filled out the info, handed over the bills, and sat back down with Erin, anxiously awaiting my fate.
As I was called into the piercing room, a rush of feelings hit me all at once. On one side there was some anxiety and fear, but at the same time, I was extremely psyched up about the whole idea. The voices in my head were spinning out of control. "My first piercing!! What will it look like? Feel like? Will it hurt? Will there be blood? Am I going to pass out? Quit worrying, this is going to rock. I'll probably want a dozen more after!"
Soon enough I heard my name called by one of the piercers, and was led into a small room with a chair that looked like it came out of a dentist's office. Very clean, very sterile, but not imposing. I felt comfortable lifting off my shirt and settling back into the chair as she ran the autoclave and explained to me the procedure.
Finally the moment of truth had arrived. "Sit back, just relax. Close your eyes and take deep breaths for me, ok?"
She made the marks where the piercing was going to go, and readied the needle. Preparing myself for intense pain, I attempted to clear my mind and become totally relaxed. She first clamped my nipple, which felt like a VERY strong pinch, but still definitely bearable. Before I realized what was happening, I felt an extremely sharp instantaneous pain. It felt like getting stung by a wasp from hell. It was all too fast for me to even react; I didn't so much as wince through the whole ordeal. Clamp, poke, barbell inserted, done. As soon as the thought "that was easy" could pop into my head though, a new feeling began to rush over me.
INTENSE euphoria. I looked over at Erin sitting there in the room with me, smiled at her and saw her smile back, then laid my head down as I felt the endorphines shoot through my veins. For about 5 minutes, I was barely capable of movement. It felt like I'd just had the best orgasm in my life. I was totally surrounded by that "right-after" feeling where all you can think is "ahhh...". That's the best way I could possibly describe it. The entire day afterwards, there was a glow emanating from within me unlike anything I'd ever felt.
As far as recovery and all that goes, it was simple and painless. The piercing only bled for a few days, and healed up fine within a week or so with simple washing w/ anti-bacterial soap. It looks and feels great, it's now been six weeks since I got it done and all I can think about is how badly I want the other nipple done, or even that PA / apadravya.
All in all, another great experience.
