Just a little prick

[pasithea]

So... I followed through. This morning I collected Julia and Avona and went to Braindrops on Haight Street. I'd looked at several places and decided on this one a few weeks ago because I liked the atmosphere. It's sort of modern-tribal where most of the others are sort of industrial or classic. The reviews I read online were also very positive.

The piercer I got was Paul. As luck would have it, he was the one that everyone had raved about. I can totally see why. He's kind of cute, very relaxed attitude, and VERY good. He doesn't use clamps to position for the piercing but he got the positions absolutely perfect and I barely felt anything. I mean REALLY barely felt anything. I've had harder pinches from lovers in bed. The only one I felt at all was the left nipple and I was like, "Hmm. I can feel that. Oooh. It hurts kinda good." and he was like, "OH. You're one of THOSE. I'll have to charge you extra." *snicker* I _expected_ the navel piercing to hurt because I was like, "Hmm. That's going through a lot of tissue." but it was even less than the nipple piercings.

The photo above and the other fabulous photos






were taken by Julia. :) Some of them are not terribly worksafe and/or may be unnerving if you're squeemish.

I don't see blood in any of these pictures. I would have thought, owing to a nipples pinkness, that it'd bleed a lot.

Nope. Not a drop. Those needles are VERY sharp.

Ornaments!

... oh THAT would get me kicked. Very nice job, though. Just treat 'em kindly during the 'break in' period!

Doh, guess I missed the fun. Remind me to stick some magnets on ya next time I see ya (kidding, I know they won't stick). *Giggle*

Congratses! :)

Congratulations! Enjoy the new sparklies. You're lucky in the whole process, most folks experience a lot more pain when piercing nips, so I'm glad it was a 'cakewalk' :)

I thought the dark marks on 004 were blood; I hadn't seen the Sharpie.

Not work-safe? They're just medical photos. Purely clinical. :)

What I'm doing to myself right now involves a rubber glove, but I don't think it quite passes the standard for clinical.

Hi DV,

I saw these a while ago. You have lovely breasts, if I may be so bold.

inflectionpoint is looking into the ins and outs of teh piercingz and I sent her a link to this post so she could see for herself. She'd like to ask you a question or two on the subject -if you don't mind - and asked me to facilitate an intro so she doesn't just materialize out of the blue; so here's that intro :-)

So she maybe along shortly with a question. :-)

Joy and Goodness,

Adj.

No worries. I don't mind a bit.

Cool. Cheers :-)
