I had wanted to get my nipples done for a while so when my seventeenth birthday came around I finally decided to do it. My boyfriend, George and I headed to Winnipeg to get it done, I was a little bit nervous on the ride in because I wasn't sure if it was going to hurt or what it would be like after. George keep telling me how much i would love them once i got them done and that's what kept me thinking okay i'm going to do this.
My boyfriend had gotten his done a few years ago and he kept reassuring me that it wouldn't hurt any more than any piercing and that after I would love it. I loved his so much that I knew my own would be awesome but I was still a little skeptical. I knew basically what to expect. I had gotten my navel pierced almost 2 years before, so I wasn't new to getting things pierced or anything like that. For reason this seemed different to me.
Once we got to the studio it felt like I had a million butterflies in my stomach but George just held my hand and kept telling me that it was going to be all right. I had to wait for a little while before I got to go in, as Eric was already with some other people. When he finally said that I could go in with him I was so excited and scared at the same time. I made George come in with me because I wanted him to hold me hand during the procedure.
Eric showed me all the tools that he was going to be using and showed me how everything is all clean and safe. I knew how nice and clean Soul Survivors was and that's why I decided that I wanted to get my nipples done there. Also Eric is such an awesome guy he makes you feel so secure and your just feel safe in his hands. He told me that he was going to using a marker to put a dot on the exact spot where he was going to pierce just to be more accurate.
It felt cold when he stuck the needles through and then the jewelry, but it didn't hurt at all. When I looked at George he looked so intrigued by it, it was kind of funny to see his face. It made me want to look and see what was going on but I was scared I'd hurt myself so I decided against that. I kind of just closed my eyes until it was completely over I just wanted to see it so badly and see what it looked like and all that good stuff.
After it was all done Eric told me how to clean and take care of it, he said that salt water would be good to use on it and that as long as I did it at least once a day that it would be fine but that it could take up six months to heal. That kind of bummed me out I wish that I could just have super powers like an X-men or something so that I would heal like in less than week so I can just enjoy it. But I guess that I'll have to be patient and wait the six months. I don't think that I'm an extremely fast healer though I know that it will take me the full six months at least if not more.
Once I got home I clean it and made sure that it was all good. For the next few days it did hurt a little but nothing to talk about really. I was just so happy that I finally got it done that the pain seemed like nothing at all. Even though the pain was really minimal. Bras suck because they rub against it and irate it. So when I don't have to wear one I don't. That part of it is kind of a pain but definately worth it.
For anyone who is reading this and is thinking about getting their nipples pierced but aren't sure, I say go for it! If you really want it do it, I know you'll love it. The pain is nothing; a mosquito bite hurts more than this. Just as long as your willing to clean it everyday and make sure that it doesn't get infected you will be perfectly fine. It looks so awesome, way better than I thought it would. So if you're still throwing the idea around in your head just do it already, you will not forget it!
