I love all my piercings

At A Glance Author Farina Contact Farina@bme.anon Artist Derek Lowe , Steve Studio Body Work Productions Location Cleveland, Ohio

I had my first piercings done 6 years ago. I had both of my nipples done that day.

I had looked around, and I spoke with people that had piecings, and almost everyone told me that the best place to go was a place called Body Work Productions. Their piercers have more training than other places, and was very clean. The piercer, Steve, was great. He talked me thru it, and when he had pierced my first nipple, he said to me " I could feel the energy coming from you". I told him to hurry and do the other one. What I did not tell him was that energy was sexual energy. I had never felt anything as intense as piercings. I had just gotten divorced after 10 years of marriage and felt like my body was finally my own to do with it as I chose fit. I had wanted to get my body pierced long before, but I was married to a man who was a bit conservative, to say the least. I view my piercings as a way of expressing myself. I also found out that getting pierced is more than just a physical act, I felt so in touch with my body.

I have since had my genitals pierced a total of 6 times, including a double piecing thru my clitoral hood. These were done by Derek Lowe,also of Body Work Productions in Cleveland.

Derek was amazing...I think that besides being bright and intense, he has a passion for superb results.

I knew I had wanted to get my genitals pierced, and I knew exactly what I wanted. I was a little self- conscious lying there exposed, but I was more excited than anything else. When I was prepped for the first piercing, Derek told me to take a deep breath, and slowly blow out. About halfway through my exhale, I felt the first piercing. I started to cry a little, not from pain, but from exhilaration. I felt like all my stress had left my body, and that the piercings brought a sense of peace to me. Some people decorate their bodies with tattoos,clothing, jewelry worn on their fingers or around their neck, but I chose to decorate mine with piercings. I have total freedom over my body.

As far as the healing process goes, I followed my instructions, (sea salt is great!) and even though the area was tender for a week or so, when I felt them, I knew I had done the right thing for me. The actual piercings are really not painful, but 2-3 days after..well..ouch! (but in a good way). I made sure to keep them clean, and rotated them in their holes, and after 5 days, it did not hurt.

I went back a few times to get all of the piercings that I desired. To be honest and frank, it is addicting.

The piercings I love are facial piercings, although I have none of my own. I know that I should not care what others think of me, the reason I have not gotten any facial piercings is because my 13 year old son had asked me not to, when I had mentioned it to him after one of my friend had come over with his septum pierced

I finally went to get my tongue pierced 6 months ago. I love it, although I do wear a retainer at PTA meetings!

I have come to find out that the main difference between people who are pierced and people who aren't pierced is that people who are pierced don't care if you are not pierced. I hope that makes sense. It is funny when I am talking to someone and they, at first, don't realize that my tongue is pierced. Then BOOM they see it and they will treat me differently, as if I just dropped a level on thier judgement scale. And you know what? Judge me all you want, just keep the veerdict to yourself!

I get tired of people asking me "Did that hurt?". I also get tired of men asking me if I give good head with my tongue ring. The answer to that question is YES!..BUT....I gave good head before my tongue was pierced!

I attended a Fetish Ball in Cleveland that was sponsored by BWP, and saw a suspension show..I was totally enthralled. I would like to experience that! There was a girl with hooks in her shoulder blades, and she was being pulled on ropes by a man. The look on her face was beyond explanation, but I will try. She had a look of ecstasy, but she also seemed as if she was having some sort of out of body experience. She also had rows of piercings going up both sides of her torso. I never really considered myself bi-sexual (well, maybe curious) but I can not get the image of her out of my mind. It was surreal, it was beautiful, and I felt as if I had a connection.

I love my body and I love testing it's limits, and most of all, I love my piercings.
