I have no idea why I wanted my hood pierced - sensible high school teacher that I am. Anyway, I got it in my head it had to be done and off I went in search of a piercer. First place I went to with my husband in tow did not inspire me with confidence. Dark, gloomy, very aggressive atmosphere. After going to many other tattoo / piercing places I got the same story from all of them: that place had a reputation for videoing women without their knowledge. Lesson number 1: go with your gut instinct and do your homework. I knew when I'd found the right piercing place because I felt comfortable as soon as I walked in. There was a teenage girl with her mum there having her belly done and, while I was waiting, the girlfriend of the piercer chatted away to me. My husband wasn't with me at this point so I felt more comfortable having another female there. I wavered and ummed and ahhed, asked about the price, asked to see the rings. At no point did anyone put any pressure on me. I felt confident in the piercing guy so that was it..time to get on with it. He drew the curtains while I took off my undies and pulled my skirt up (remember to wear a skirt, ladies) and then he scrubbed up and prepared everything. As the needle went through my clitty hood burnt, but I have known worse pain. It was over very quickly. Afterwards the guy closed the curtains again and left me alone to get dressed: so polite considering what he had just done. It's a couple of months later now and I love the piercing. It catches me unawares sometimes and I get a little thrill. I'm going back this week to get an adornment to it so it rubs on my clitty all the time. The best thing of all is that my husband is still overseas and hasn't seen it yet...he is going to get a BIG surprise when he gets back.
