My Nipple Pierces

My left nipple was my first ever pierce. It was done in September 1994 by Joe J. in Boston. I decided to get it done when my girlfriend at the time announced to me that she wanted to get her clit hood done, so I told her that if she went to do that, I'd get my nipple done. (As a historical note, the nipple lasted, the hood didn't.)

The pierce was originally a 1/2" 14ga SSS captive bead ring with a SSS bead, which I soon replaced with a green dyed onyx, like I have in all my pierces now (excluding my tongue). The rings hanging from my necklace are the the original ring I was pierced with, along with another green niobium ring that I used for a while before stretching up to my current ring, a 5/8" 12ga SSS ring.

The right nipple is my latest pierce, which was done by Raelyn Gallina in November 1995. It was made to visually match my left nipple, even though it's a 14ga instead of a 12ga. It healed up much quicker and easier than my left one, evn though it hurt more as well. I'd assume it's Raelyn's method of using a larger needle, (12ga needle for a 14ga pierce) but it did work, and now it feels wonderful. I have no complaints.

Next project: stretch the right nipple up to 12ga (done) and maybe get my bellybutton pierced (done)...
