Just had a significant birthday this year which means in 5 years I can legally retire.
Also noticed this year that neither myself or my girlfriend could get my tool to stand up so thought I had better do something quick.
Have always wondered how a small steel rod would feel as it was turned inside the nipple so I did a lot of study on the internet and discovered that lots of woman are into piercing and really enjoy the piercings when they are healed, one lady commented she enjoys her husband tugging at her nipples during lovemaking, an extra boost of stimulation.
To make a long story short they wanted $50.00 a nipple to pierce it here in Minnesota so I decided to do it myself and keep $100.00 in the bank and thats what I did last April.
I ordered my supplies online and also read everything I could on the internet.
Did not have access to an autoclave ( to sterilize) but used bleach and anti-bacterial liquid soap as a disinfectant and ordered my needles sterilized.
The day of the piercing ( I did 1 nipple at a time incase of infection) I lost very little blood, about 8 drops and pain was minimal probably due to a super laser sharpened hollow needle that went into the nipple like a scapel, but there was resistance due to the fact that your cutting tissue, milk ducts and everything inside the nipple, you will hear a crunching and tearing sound but that tells you the needle is going thru.
Prior to inserting the needle I cleaned the outside of the needle and coated it with an anti-bacterial cream (neosporin) so when the skin was cut by the needle the anti bacterial cream would be there immediately to stop infection.
After the needle had penetrated the nipple I slid it back and forth thru the pierced hole (this will hurt like hell) until it moved thru the hole with no resistance like it belonged there.
Then I put one end of the jewelry against the blunt end of the hollow needle and pushed the needle through and out of the nipple and took a sigh of relief, I WAS DONE.
Strongly recommend a short barbell 3/4 - 1/2 for healing as rings will migrate out or create other problems.
I had to use 16 gauge as I have small nipples but put barbell in for healing.
Suggest you wash nipples daily, if you get lazy like me and haven't got time for shower I used to put antibacterial soap in a glass of water and hold the glass against my chest and shake it up that way your washing the piercing.
If you believe your piercing is infected I always solved that problem by using some SEA SALT ( 1/4 tsp in a glass of water)( not table salt) , it will help it heal real good.
In closing I wish I had done it 30 years ago, it has increased the sensitivity of the nipples ten fold, if afraid to do it yourself pay to have it done, YOU WILL NOT REGRET IT.The nipples feel great when they have rings in them, feel ooohhh sooo goood !!!!!!!!!!!!! and tool stands up in a mater of seconds.You won't be sorry.
