It was Saturday Afternoon. I was getting prepared to go to a Grade concert, when my friend Stephanie called me and told me that our friend Trevis was going to get his nipple pierced, and he wanted to know a place to do it. I recommended Stainless Studios, because I had gotten pierced there twice before and I knew it was a great place. I called and made an appointment for him at 7:30pm which was the latest time possible.
At A Glance Author xmonziex Contact xmonziex@hotmail.com When It just happened Artist Michelle Studio Stainless Studios Location Toronto, Canada I was thinking about getting my tragus pierced if there was enough time. I had also thought about getting my nipples pierced for a long time, but I didn't feel like I had the guts to do it. I told this to Stephanie in the car on the way up, and she kept encouraging me to do it. As soon as we got there Stephanie immediately asked the receptionist if there was enough time for me. I was still feeling very sketchy, and indecisive. I would say, yes, then no, then yes, etc... The receptionist asked the piercer, who came out and I saw it was Michelle, the girl who pierced my septum only 6 months before. Then all of a sudden I felt that I could do this, and I knew that if I paid then I wouldn't back out. It came out to $99.50 Canadian, which is a pretty good price.
So we all went in together. Michelle explained all the procedure and aftercare to us. I was afraid since it was so close to closing (they close at 8 on Saturdays), that I would feel rushed, but Michelle was great, she didn't rush us at all. Trevis went First and he was nervous as hell. I was afraid that watching him would make me more nervous but he kept his calm. I just want to say that boys' nipples are like ten times smaller then girls'. He finished up and then he left the room.
It was my turn. I was so nervous, I thought I might faint or something because I hadn't eaten since 1:30 that afternoon and it was close to 8. When I was filling out the forms, it said, "Have you eaten within the past 5 hours." And I checked off no. The lady said that I should get a juice or else my blood sugar might be low and I might feel like passing out. Eek, so I bought an orange juice right there and drank it.
I took of my shirt and Michelle cleaned my nipple with this brown stuff and I lay down on the 'dentist' chair. She was really fast and really calming. For some reason I don't feel nervous when I'm around her. She clamped the first one and I watched as the needle went through. That one was a cinch. I hardly felt any pain at all. I was very relieved; however, I knew that the second one would hurt more. I had only had my 2 cartilage piercings done at the same time before, and I knew that the second one hurt 20 times more, so I was still freaked out. Michelle then explained that the second one would hurt more, and she clamped my nipple. She stuck the needle through and this one HURT like a bitch!!! I can't even describe it, except that it was very intense. And it felt like the needle was taking forever to go through. It was really intense but only lasted until the needle was through. Ouch! It hurt a lot, but I didn't show it at all. I just can't describe the intensi ty of the pain, but like I said, it only lasted a very short time (even though it felt like forever).
Initially I wanted to get them pierced with barbells, but they recommended that I do it with cbr's because it would be easier to take care of and clean. The rings are really big, and I can't wait to change it.
Right afterwards we went to the show. I really wanted to eat something but there wasn't enough time, so I went through the whole 4 hours not eating anything and standing up. Towards the end I really felt like I was going to pass out soon if I didn't eat.
The first day there was a lot of pain, the second day was a lot better, and the third day (right now) is even better. I've been wearing a bra and it's been going well. I notice that there is mostly pain when my nipples 'get hard', and I'm super paranoid about someone hitting them. The aftercare is relatively simple, and I hope that they will heal soon! I am really happy about them, and I really love Michelle. I wouldn't want to get pierced by anyone else!
