Nipple ishous

Ok..so I'm only 14 years old (ah!amateur) yet I already have 14 piercings (one for each year I suppose) nothing 'major' 9 in my lobes (5 left, 4 right) my nose, my tongue and my navel.

I've always been really interested in piercings and the way they make me feel, i don't know how to describe it, it's just a sense of self worth or an achievement I haven't got much self confidence so I guess it just makes me feel a little better, a little more prettier or whatever. So anyway moving on about 5 weeks ago me and my friend Vikki decided we were in need of new piercings and since I've been dying to get my nipples done for quite some time now, I've never plucked up the courage so I decided that it was time I stopped being such a shithead and actually got them done.

We went along on the 19th July to a place called Hype in Newcastle where I got my tongue and navel done about a year ago and also where I'm getting my vertical labret done this saturday(at last yeah!!) they're good people- very professional and sweet but since Vikki wanted a clitoral hood piercing and didn't have any ID (as she is only 14 to) We had to leave quickly and search for another piercing place which is when we found this hidden away lovely studio named PX piercings. The place was so pretty and looked clean so we went in to make appointments and although Vikki could not get her piercing done there either (bless her) I made an appointment to get both nipples done and was introduced to possibly the two nicest people in the world (or Newcastle anyways) Peter and Margaret both crammed with piercings but nevertheless behind all the shiny silver there were big helpful smiles. I talked over the procedure with them and they explained that they would use a cooling spray which lessened the pain. Now although I like to think I have a high pain threshold I'm still a chicken when it comes to the thought of needles penetrating me in any way so this was good...good news.

The appointment was made for quarter to 2 which gave me around an hour to calm my nerves or should I say grab a bottle of beer and smoke twenty packs of cigarettes and before I could say ouch! it was time to leave Gotham Town (cool pub) and head back up to PX. When I arrived I was very nervous but excited to think that soon it would all be over and I'd have my beautiful new piercing. Unfortunately there was a woman in getting her madonna pierced and this seemed to take forever but at long last peter came out and beckoned me to come in the room (whilst the poor lady walked away moaning of the pain to her boyfriend). My boyfriend Rob came in the smart hospital smelling Piercing room with me as he had decided to get his nipple done also. We were asked to fill out some forms e.t.c and then they explained aftercare all the usual stuff then we were ready to go. Whilst peter prepared the jewelery (rings) and the needle margaret asked me to remove my top. Like I said before I'm very self conscious so this was a bit embarrassing but she made me feel very comfortable and when I was letting half of my nakedness hang out it wasn't all that bad.She then cleaned the area and marked on with a toothpick and some ink where the entrance and exit holes would be and then I was asked to clamber onto the table.

As there were two people completing the piercing it felt a bit intimidating as they were both hovering over me but they were so lovely and made me feel so relaxed that by the time we had decided to do my left nipple first and Peter had put the clamp over, it didn't actually feel like I was there to get a piercing at all. I didn't find the clamp uncomfortable or painful but when Margaret produced the needle I did get a tad scared. She told me what she was doing as she did it and counted to 3 before pushing the needle through. She also managed to keep a healthy conversation going between this explanation. I really didn't feel anything at all and was pleasantly surprised but this worked to my disadvantage as when the procedure was repeated on my right nipple I didn't expect it to hurt and although it wasn't unbearable it was a lot more painful than the first and also bled loads (the other one didn't bleed at all). Once the bleeding stopped I was allowed to have a quick glance in the mirror and aww they looked so cute,they just hung there perfectly so I fell in love pretty quickly. The plasters were put on, I got dressed, money and tips exchanged hands (30pound + a 5pound tip)and we said our goodbyes although not before commenting on the outstanding service and swearing we would go back there for our next piercings. Unfortunately PX don't do Vertical labrets and so while Rob is getting his eyebrow pierced for the third time and Siobhan (one of my mad friends) is getting her right nipple re-pierced tomorrow at PX I'm going down to my second favourite studio Hype to hopefully fall in love all over again with another piercing.

5 Weeks later and my nipples are doing brilliantly although still a bit painful if knocked and still a little crusty at times. I've been cleaning them with Savlon antiseptic spray twice a day and soaking them in salt water every now and again but I'd say to anyone who wants it done go for it, it's virtually painless and well worth it!!
