16 years old and first Nipple Piercing

I wake up two days before my 16th birthday and I decide I want a piercing. I speak to my mum who amazingly did not go through the roof and who was actually really cool and said ok.

But with certain conditions it had to be in a place only I could see unless I wanted other people to see it!

" Son you have a choice; nipple, genital, belly button!"

" Hum nipple I think!"

So having made the decision we left for the nearest city to us, not knowing where we were going because, we were English people living in France and having only made the move 6 months ago we naturally didn't know all the piercing parlours in the area. But we keep on searching and finally we found one. We walk in and the place is dark, dingy and it stinks! My mum looks at me and says; "turn around and walk out"

We continued our search and we finally came across a tidy, clean establishment. Now my heart is beating really fast and I start to feel scared!

I walk in speaking very little French and ask a guy with rings and tattoos all over him if he speaks a bit of English. He looks at me as if I was dumb and says; "Of course"

So I explain to him that I want to get my nipple pierced, he looks at me in amazement and can hardly believe what I am saying he agrees and tells to follow him into the little room behind the till

We walk into the little room and the whole place smells clean and looks shiny. He tells me to sit down on the reclining chair whilst he prepares the needle and ring.

He measures the size of my nipple and says: " hey dude you nipples are way to small for the piercing to go through the actual nipple. If you want your nipple done I'm going to have to go deep under the nipple". So I say ok after all, all I wanted was a ring going through my nipple.

So he reclines the chair and starts to clean the area. He draws 2 little dots with a pen ad asks me if I was ok with the 2 dots, naturally I agree. Then he tells me to take a deep breath and that when I feel the pain I should force out my breath slowly to ease the pain. I feel the cold end of the needle touch the right hand side of my nipple and I take a deep breath just before it starts to go through.

It felt like it was burning but at the same time it was extremely cold I could feel it go through really slowly and the I felt it break through the other side of the nipple. That was when the adrenaline rush kicked in and I felt as if I was floating on thin air, it felt so good!

He gets the ring and starts to put in through from the right hand side of the nipple the metal felt hot as though it had been heated in an oven. It's halfway through and the adrenaline rush kicks in again to ease the pain, f**k does it hurt. Then the ring gets stuck because of the hole being so tight and I can feel him pressuring the ring to go through and then it comes out the other end and the pain calms down. At last I had my first piercing the guy tells to stay laying down and relax, he gives me a cube of sugar and tells me to eat it. I slowly sit up and my head is spinning so fast I find it hard to see the lights. After ten minutes I pull myself forward and take a deep breath it's throbbing real bad and the ring is sticking out because of the depth of the hole I look at it and I don't believe what I have just done.

I eventually stand up and open the door to go out to the till and all of a sudden my head starts spinning and my mind goes blank the guy grabs me and stops me from falling. I slowly get my wits together and realize where I am. At this point I have forgotten what I have just done and I go to touch my nipple! , Ouch, big mistake that hurt. I pay the guy 400 francs so roughly 60 dollars I go to walk out where my mum was waiting when the piercer calls to me: " You're one tough little dude I have never done a piercing that deep on someone so young!!". I walk out feeling like a billion bucks I show my mum the ring and she looks at me in disbelief.

That night was extremely hard even my t-shirt rubbing against my nipple made it hurt as if it was burning, but it was worth it and now I am the proud owner of a 3 cm deep pierced nipple which most guys wouldn't have coped with at the age of 16. Even now I come across people with a nipple piercing but none of them yet have been as deep as my one. The feeling is absolutely amazing and I really can't describe it, but at the same time the pain is immense. Since my nipple I have done many other piercings but none of them have been as painful.

Advice, if you want to do it go for it, it is definitely worth the pain but make sure that if you want both your nipples done do them at the same time because otherwise you won't want to do the second one because you remember the pain from the first one. I waited 2 years before getting the second one done.

The best thing with a nipple piercing is that not many people dare do them, so you always feel original. Enjoy your piercing and make sure you follow the advice the piercer gives, keep it clean and don't play with in the first few weeks of healing, turn the ring when you're in the shower but make sure flowing water is going on to the ring, after 2-3 weeks the pain is gone and you don't regret it one bit.
