About a week ago I started toying with the idea of getting my nipples pierced. I asked my boyfriend what he thought about it, and being the supportive guy he is, he was all for it and said he would pay for it as an early anniversary gift. So I was up for it, why pass up a free piercing, or two!
At A Glance Author anonymous When A week ago Artist Amy Studio Phantom 8 Location littleton,co The whole reason I began thinking about getting pierced was because I hate my boobs, I think they're too small, my nipples are too big, and that they are oddly shaped. Now my boyfriend has assured me a thousand times that they're fine, but I still disagreed. So I figured that maybe if I got my nipples pierced that it would boost my self-confidence.
So on Friday night my boyfriend picked me up after work and took me to our favorite burrito place first so I could get some food in me, then we were off to Phantom 8. By the time we got there it had started snowing and my boyfriend started joking with me about perfect timing and the fact that my nipples were going to be hard cause of the cold, and how it would hurt after the piercings were done. But I ignored him I was determined to get this done.
Inside Phantom 8 it was very clean and the people there were very friendly. The woman at the front desk asked what I wanted to get and I told her my nipples. She went and got the piercer, her name was Amy and she was super nice. She asked me whether I wanted hoops or barbells, I chose hoops, She gave me the typical forms to fill out and took a copy of my license, and while I was doing that she went to set up for the piercing. By the time I was done with the paper work she was ready She asked me whether I wanted colored beads or just wanted to stick with the ones that were on the hoops already. I stuck with what was on them and my boyfriend and I followed her back to the room.
The room was clean somewhat plain, but I wasn't worried about that, I just was glad there was a door and she closed it so no one else could peek in. She showed me that everything was still packaged and told me to take off my shirt and bra. This was probably the part I was dreading the most, not the pain, but having someone i don't know seeing my boobs. But I took a deep breath and did it. She had me stand in front of her while she marked my nipples with a toothpick and purple ink, she then told me to look in the mirror. I had her remark the right one cause it looked a little off, but the second time was perfect.
I jumped onto the chair thing and my legs were shaking, she asked which side I wanted to start with, I told her the right. She told me to breath in deeply and she pushed the needle through. I made a face at my boyfriend who was standing in the corner and he asked if it hurt and if I was ok? I told him it felt like a sharp pinch and that I was fine. Amy told me to take a few more breaths and let me prepare myself for the left. Again I went through the same process and the same sharp pinch, and I was done! I hopped off the chair and looked in the mirror, I loved them. For once I actually liked my boobs. I thanked her several times and went up to the front to pay. My boyfriend also bought me some sea salt to do soaks with, which Amy told me to do twice a day.
Needless to say the first few days were painful. At night I slept with a tank top on and tried not to lay on them, and every time I accidentally bumped them it was painful. The sea salt soaks are a pain sometimes, but it makes them feel better, and you just have too do it if you don't want an infection. But now a week later they're doing fine, and I love my piercings so much. Now I actually like looking at my boobs, my boyfriend is crushed that he cant play with them, but he's just happy that I have a better attitude about myself, and something else for him to play with eventually.
To anyone thinking about getting their nipples pierced I totally recommend it, it doesn't hurt that bad(at least mine didn't), and it only lasts a second anyway and its worth it. I love them so much and you will too! Good lucky, and happy piercings!
