How I Pierced My Own Nipple

Jason Ward
A couple of months ago while in Europe I decided that I really wanted to get a nipple piercing, and was bent on having one, the only problem was that I was very low on cash and didn't have that much to spend. I went to a couple of piercing parlors but they where all much to expensive for my modest budget, so I decided if I couldn't get it done professionaly I would do it myself.

This is a detailed report of how I did it so that if you decide to do your own you will have some tips.

Well the first thing I did was buy a couple of 5 cent surgical hollow needles from a pharmacy, than I bought a 16 gauge barbell with balls on either side, thinking that was all I needed I headed home and that night I took out one of the needles and compared it to the barbell, IT WAS NOT EVEN HALF THE SIZE, which would hurt tremendously because it would be like making a new hole completly with a blunt object. I took the needle and very gently touched my nipple, it made a little cut and it started bleeding, this was too much for me as it also hurt quite a bit, so I decided I wouldn't pierce my nipple after all.

The next day I thought I would return the barbell to get my money back as it was an expensive piece, but when I got to the store they said that they don't do refunds or even changes. So I figured that now I had to do it myself, so I went to a local supermarket and bought two things, an apple, and a bottle of white wine.

When I got home I threw the apple in the freezer and started on the wine, by the time I had finished the bottle I was feeling pretty relaxed, and was ready for it, I cut the apple in half and put half on my nipple for about 5 minutes, when it was completly numb I took the fattest needle that I had, which was still half the size of the barbell, and put it to my nipple and in one quick movement pushed it through, it felt so wierd, but there wasn't so much pain, I walked to show my brother this needle sticking through my nipple and by the time I got back to the bathroom I promptly fainted, woke up and then fainted again this time slamming against the bathroom door which hurt quite alot when I came to again.

I got up feeling pretty sick and dizzy, but I knew I couldn't give up, so I very stupidly pulled the needle out whilst trying to stick the barbell in but that didn't work too well, and after it came out I couldn't see the hole, so I stuck one end of the barbell into the place I thought the hole was and started pushing, it hurt alot and after a long push I didn't even have it one-quarter of a the way through, so for the next hour and a half I switched between having a cold apple on my nipple, and pushing this blunt barbell in, the pain was almost unbearable but I kept on going, finally at the end it just sort of popped through, after fastening the balls on I reallized it didn't hurt anymore, I was
overjoyed and excited.

Personaly I think the pain was worth it, because now not only could I show off this goodlooking piercing, but I could tell people about how brave I was for keeping on going.

If you have a strong stomach and don't want to spend too much money, you should follow my advice, just try to get a bigger needle though, that was my major mistake.

Good luck!

    Ouch is right! It's no surprise that you passed out. I pierced my webbing when I was a teenager and still have no idea how I did it. I took it out after a few months.
