Tag: Piercings

Wow, it has been almost a month since the last time I wrote a Blog. Guess I have been a really busy bee!

So this month has been one with surprises…some good and some bad.

1st I know this is going to make some of you a little sad but… I took out my nipple piercings on 12-12-09. After I changed the bar bells and put in the rings it went downhill for my right nipple. I found out the piercer pierced me way too deep and behind my nipple. It was hurting and kept bleeding (Not a lot just a little). I was always in pain and I got very sick and tired of it so I made the decision to take them out. My boyfriend was sad but he understood. Maybe in another year I will get them pierced again (And of course go to a different piercer).

2nd I am so excited Christmas is coming. Not for the presents, not even to buy any gifts for anyone. But to spend Christmas with my loving boyfriend. I miss him so much. I am leaving Christmas Eve and will return Sunday. I love getting away to Chicago to be with him. I need time away from my family!

I realized this year I could care less about the gifts. Don’t care who spending money on whom. Yes, it’s nice but I’m over it. I guess it’s me becoming an adult. It’s for the kids. I want them to have a good time.

3rd So what happened to the financially stable Kristen that loves to save? What happened to the Kristen that had $2000 in her savings account and knew where her money was going? I have been spending so much its crazy. Some were car repairs and a lot was shopping, shopping and more shopping! My savings is now gone and I’m again starting from scratch. Thank God I don’t have any credit cards or any HUGE bills and can’t wait for that tax return coming up! Hope it’s good! So more saving and less spending!!!

4th So now that I have decided I need to calm down and save more, I do want to do something for myself once or twice a month just to spoil me for whatever reason … because I can! So I started getting my nails done and I freakin love it! My nails are freakin gorgeous and I can’t believe I went so long without having them done! I have had the French mani and right now I have pink and white….sooo pretty! I’m going to start posting pics soon!

I also started back into Scrapbooking. This summer I got into it but was only concerned with doing My Wedding. Well I defiantly stepped out of that phase and now want to do pics of my friends, family and of course me and my man! I am defiantly going to post pic of my finished pages and I hope you guys go easy on my cause I am a 1st timer! J

5th I was so saddened to hear about Brittany Murphy’s death. So tragic and I am learning that she may have even died of natural causes (Now I hear it may be because of her eating disorder). How natural is death at the age of 32 but if it’s your time to go Home it’s your time. My prayers go out to her family. She was such a beautiful person an actress.

Its been 2 and a half months since I have had my nipples pierced. I went yesterday to get new jewelry. I really wanted rings. I went back to the same place I got them pierced and the same person put them in. He said my nipples were healing great.

This morning my right nipple was in a little pain. I thought it was probably because of the new ring and just felt that maybe the ring was making it painful. So I went to another place and started checking out new rings. The woman piercer there, Lisa, checked out my nipple and she said it was pierced too deep. Its not through my nipple but behind it. Oh great. She said my body was rejecting the ring. She said the way to fix it is to use titanium rings. Give it another 2 months in and it should be fine and should heal the right way. She said after the 2 months and I want to go with something cheaper then I can at that point (The titanium rings were $50 for both) and if it was still being rejected, I would have to take out the ring completely and let it heal and re-pierce it. Ouch.

So I got my new ones in now and I hope everything goes right because I love my rings and really dont want to have to go through that pain again. 😦

I was a little but angry that the damn guy that pierced it acted like he didnt know anything was wrong and said the looked fine but right when Lisa looked at it she know what was wrong!

Just hope the new rings helps…

If you have been reading my Blogs, you would have known I have been thinking about getting my nipples pierced. On Sep. 12, I finally went and got them pierced! Therefore, it has been 4 days.

Many people have asked me, “Kristen, did it hurt when they were getting pierced?”, “Why are you doing this?” The answers are simple…HELL YES and because I wanted a small change. Here is the process:

I went to a tattoo/piercing studio called Detroit 313 Tattoos with my friend Carilyn. It was very nice inside and looked pretty clean. My piercer was a black man (For some reason I can’t remember his name at all). He was pretty cute and funny. We were the only people in there so we didn’t have to wait long. They told me I had to go with a “barbell” ring because it’s easier for new piercings and I can change after a month (I think I will wait after 3mths just to make sure its healed).

After I picked out the ring, I went in the room with Carilyn and the piercer. The room was very small and had a black chair that leaned back in the middle. There were jars of piercing supplies on the table, and sterilized clamps and needles in the sterilizing pouches and of course…latex gloves.

He put on his gloves and marked my ta ta’s with a marker. He then picked up a clamp and put it on my left nipple. He then told me this is the part most women hated most. And I know why…this damn clamp was pinching my poor nipple so freakin hard! It was VERY uncomfortable and hurt as he was trying to fit it correctly on the marks. Finally, he picked up the needle and got close to the nipple with it. I then yelled “IS THIS IT!” He looked at me, laughed and said, “Yes” then he pushed it in my nipple! I yelled for dear mercy! It hurt like no other. There was no whatsoever good feeling when it came to that KNIFE going through my girls. I have heard of people passing out and thank God I didn’t. But when it was over I felt like I just was kicked in the stomach and got really hot. Lol He turned on the fan for me so I could cool down for a min while he got ready for the next. All this time my friend, Carilyn was taking pics of me with a face of SHOCK!

One down…1 to go…

He put the clamp on my right nipple. I told myself I have to really get ready for this one. I put both my hands on my hips like someone was about to charge at me and said again to him, “IS THIS IT?” He said yes and I was ready. But to my astonishment, this one hurt way more than the last! I felt like it lasted for a whole min! I have no idea what was in that nipple that wasn’t in the last one that made it hurt so much more. I remember wanting to move his hand if the pain wasn’t going to stop. But it finally did! And when it did…I was exhausted! And I was breathing hard. I laid my head back on the headrest and just chilled for a min. I was so glad it was all over. I finally looked down at my breasts…they looked so pretty! I loved it!

Then as I started moving I noticed how much PAIN I was in. The piercer has to help me into my bra. While he did so he said, “I have helped women out of bra’s…but never into a bra.” He was so cute.

So he told me I had to wash it 3 times a day with soap and water and I should be straight…come to think of it, he never told me for how long…but I guess I can Google that information. Lol And also to move the ring around because crust can build up (Ewww).

Four days later and the soreness are going down now. I don’t feel it when it rub against my bra anymore either (That sucked). The only time I really feel anything is when I am cleaning them. I saw blood only a tiny tiny bit one time when I cleaned it on one of my nipples. I am kind getting tired already of cleaning them though. 3 times is a lot…I clean in my shower in the morning and at night. Its just hard to find a time to clean mid-day because I work a 10hr day.

It does have its perks. My nipples are now very sensitive and can get hard very easily and when they do it really feels great. It feels like someone is slowly pinching them. I love it. At my job it can be extremely cold here (Even when its 74 degrees outside) and they have been getting pretty hard here at work and I can feel them getting hard from start to finish! I love it! I am just scared for the winter time when it is REALLY cold!

I do have to add that I did have to put on a bra when I am around the house and when I sleep. I have big breasts and they were hurting so bad the day and the day after I got them done, I started cuffing them with my hands while I walked around because the rubbing against my shirt was irritating them. And defiantly when I slept to keep them in one place (I have also read other Blogs about nipple piercing around the internet and noticed this is very common for us to do).

So it has been a great experience. I am glad I had a fun person to pierce my girls and made me feel at home and I am REALLY glad I didn’t pass out! I researched thoroughly via internet and friends. I know 4 other females that have them and they all said the same thing, “It hurt like hell…but it was worth it and I love them.” So, why not?

Of course, I will keep all my internet friends informed of more of my “Nipple Healing Process”!

P.S. Any of my female Blogger’s that are thinking bout getting this done, please feel free to send me a message to ask anything and I can defiantly send you some pics of me new nipple ornaments as well!
