I Got My Nipples Pierced!

So... I'm writing about this pretty late... I got them pierced last November!

It's been a huge decision I've been trying to make for years now, whether or not I would want to go through with getting them pierced. I used to be so obsessed with getting piercings on my body and mostly my ears. All my piercings added up together were a total of twelve piercings between my bellybutton and my ears. I have four on each earlobe alone!

I finally got down to making a decision about getting nipple piercings when I was two months shy of turning nineteen, so I began asking my friends and my boyfriend what they think I should do. Everyone told me I should totally go for it!

I already had a place in mind, my favorite and only trusted tattoo/piercing parlor. I've gotten every single piercing and most of my tattoos there since I was fifteen.

When I finally decided to go through with it, Krista came with me and got her first tattoo while also coming to make me feel less nervous.

I went first. The curtain was drawn to give my piercer and I some privacy so I can lay back and remove my shirt. I know the drill; relax and breathe as the needle is going through. There was no way I could breathe when the needle was piercing through my right nipple, I was squealing in pain! Everyone could hear it from the other side of the curtain.

The pain was excruciating! I almost did not got through with piercing the second one, but I knew that if I didn't get it done during that session there was no way I was going to come back another time to do it. The needle went through my left nipple now, and that hurt even more than the first one!

Seven months later, I'm now used to them and can happily say that I was brave enough to do what a lot of people are too terrified to do. I think it was worth it in the end, I'm very pleased with them; but I also think that these will be my last piercings. I'm going back to my tattoo obsession.
