This is my very first genital piercing. I have my tongue, naval, daith, and several lobes done so I'm not inexperienced in the piercing field at all, but this is a pretty extreme piercing! I got my tongue and daith done at High Priestess in Corvallis, OR so I know that they are a very reputable place to go.
At A Glance Author Mandy When A week ago Artist Lisa Studio High Priestess Location Eugene, OR I went in on Sunday to make sure that I was suitable to get this done, and after poking around for a few minutes, Lisa determined that I was suitable to get this piercing! I was very excited and I couldn't wait to get it done. I decided a few weeks ago that I was going to have it done on the seventeenth of June because that is me and my boyfriend's five year anniversary, he is on the east coast all summer so I figured that this would be the perfect time to get it done due to the long period of time that I would have to wait til I could have sex again. That and it would keep me "entertained" if you know what I mean!
Fast forward to Thursday- I am waiting for Lisa to get all of her stuff together and ring up some young girls for jewelry for their navels. We decide on a 12 gauge CBR for me. She asks me if its ok if she brings in her apprentice to watch, sure, I don't care, I'm not modest. We go into the room, shut the door and I drop trou, which is always fun in front of strangers! Lisa has me lay on the table with my legs dropping off the sides and my tush near the edge. We chat as if she is not going to impale my genitals in a few minutes about things like the weather.
She tells me and the apprentice that she is going to mark me, which takes a few minutes, and then she put on the dreaded clamps. I don't care what anyone says, those things hurt like a bitch, I thought she put them on wrong or something! She tells me to start taking deep breaths while I whine about how much those damn clams hurt! Finally she tells me to exhale deeply and she pierced me. I guess I didn't make any noise, but in my head I screamed! It didn't actually hurt all that bad, it was a fleeting pain that only lasted for a few seconds. She removed the clamps and slid in the jewelry, which was only a little uncomfortable, like I cared at this point! I was seeing stars and felt a bit dizzy! I said I needed a drink and they handed me some water, which was very nice of them but I was hoping for something with a bit of alcohol in it!
I laid there for a minute while I collected myself and then I the apprentice got me a mirror to look at it. The jewelry was a bit to big for the general area, but I was going to get a smaller ring in a few weeks anyway, but it looked ok. I gently slid off the table and very gingerly slid on my panties. No problems so far, I sat down for a minute while they cleaned up and so that I could calm my nerves a bit!
We went out and I got rung up ($53, not bad!) and tried to walk around normally. I always think its funny to see someone come out of the piercing room, because you always wonder what they got done. I noticed some people looking at me that way which was very humorous. I don't look like the kind of person that would get a genital piercing, if you get to know me you?d think that, but not from just looking at me! I thanked Lisa and left.
The ride home was uneventful, but once I got home I realized that I had bled through my panties and down one of my legs. Unusual for me because I am usually not much of a bleeder, but then again this is an area where there is a lot of blood flow. I treated my poor little crotch with care until later on (and after a few drinks!) and I decided to do a salt soak and clean it before going to bed. Before I did that I take a look at it, and I realized that it was a bit crooked, and on one side the skin was being pulled rather painfully into the piercing. Ok, I think, maybe its just because its swollen, so I still do a salt soak and I cleaned it very carefully, and then I bled everywhere. A lot, and thats when I figured something may be wrong. It finally stopped bleeding and I got a phone call from my friend and while I was laying on my back talking to her, I started to laugh and I had an orgasm. I thought this is the coolest piercing that exists!
Everything I did that night hurt my new piercing, just rolling over hurt! The next morning I did another salt soak and cleaned it but by this time I realized that it was twisting almost vertically when I put my legs together! It hurt to walk, sit, do anything! I had class all day, but and during my lunch break I hauled ass to High Priestess. I asked the guy there-Joshua, who also did my daith- to look at it. Once again I drop trou and "assume the postion," he took one look at it and told me that I would have to take it out. It was pierced incredibly crooked and the side that the skin was being pulled was actually tearing. I nearly cried, but then again that's what I was thinking anyway, so I told him to go ahead. Once again I bled everywhere, but I was really happy that he said he would do it again for me for free. He told me to just leave my area alone and to come in in about two weeks and he would be more than happy to do it again for me. Its been about five days since the n and I'm still a bit tender, but I am quite determined to get it done again! If its crooked again this next time, screw it, I'm not even going to try it again! I can't wait to get it redone and hopefully right this time!
