And I haven?t looked back

On my 18th birthday, I dragged my best friend to the tattoo parlor to get my nipples pierced. She distracted me while the piercer stuck a metal rod through my nipples and afterwords we stared in amazement. But I was fascinated with the idea long before I decided I wanted them.
My boyfriend at the time had commented about how sexy nipple piercings were and after doing some research on Tumblr I started to agree. Gotta love old Tumblr and softcore porn accounts.
I liked seeing pictures of nipple piercings, I was attracted to women who had body piercings. They just looked so sexy and I was always intrigued by the type of women who would get nipple piercings.
I wanted to join the club.
I wanted to be that woman. I loved the idea of going to a festival and being able to subtly show my piercings through a thin shirt. I imagined how I could surprise my boyfriend with a new addition to my body. I read about how nipple piercings could increase sensitivity, an added perk.
I didn?t see a downside of going through with the idea. And almost 6 years later, I still cannot find a downside.
I love my nipple piercings.
I never liked my nipples or areolas growing up. My nipples were never erect, even if it was freezing outside. And I thought my areolas were too large and too pale, just blending in with the rest of my boob. I was very self-conscious about my breasts overall and didn’t enjoy being naked around myself. I certainly did not like being naked around other people.
If I was having sex with someone, I would wear a shirt or bra. I would only feel comfortable being completely naked if the room was dark. If someone asked me to send them a nude, I would obscure my nipples and cover them in some manner.
But getting my nipples pierced changed everything.
I immediately felt sexier, even in the days following where my nipples were slightly sore and I was confined to sports bras. During the first week I had them, I couldn?t stop checking myself out in the mirror. I would pull up my shirt and take a peek of new nipples every time I was in the bathroom.
I loved how they stayed erect and how the barbell clearly signified where my areola stopped and skin started. I loved how they felt sensitive to the touch, it was electrifying. I was in love. It was worth the $150 I saved up and splurged on the jewelry and piercing (plus generous tip for the kind man who pierced me ever so gently).
My sex life got better too. Not only did my confidence permeate into the bedroom, but I finally enjoyed nipple play. My nipples had little sensitivity before I got them pierced so I was never into someone sucking on my nipples, it just didn?t do anything for me.
But after I got them pierced, my sensitivity was increased tenfold. They were so sensitive, at times even too sensitive. I finally understood why women spoke so highly about nipple play, a whole world was opened up. I begged for someone to suck on my nipples.
I enjoyed being naked around sexual partners, I even liked showing off my piercings to friends. If someone knew I got my nipples pierced and asked to see, I didn?t hesitate to share. My nipples were sexy now, of course, you can take a peek.
Sex was fun. I now preferred riding on top during any hour of the day, aware my breasts were on full display. I loved it. I no longer felt the need to hide behind t-shirts or midnight moonlighting.
I got turned on just thinking about being able to surprise new lovers. I?m not exactly the type of girl that people imagine has their nipple pierced. I give off more of the girl next door vibe.
All of my tattoos are hidden and on the surface, I seem pretty straight and narrow. People tend to think only ?wild?, tattoo-covered women have nipple piercings. This from my experience is far from the truth but either way, I liked the shocked look partners gave me after I undress. Then I liked their eagerness to swirl the barbell in their mouth, how they got hornier after seeing my piercing.
I loved how most people interpreted having nipples pierced with liking rougher sex. In general it?s bad to make any assumptions like that but fortunately, I do enjoy rougher sex.
My nipple piercings did the talking for me or at the very least if I were to request rougher treatment, people weren?t surprised. After all, I didn?t have any issue with someone piercing my nipples, why should slapping my ass be a big deal.
I was eager for the opportunity to put my nipples on display. I liked how the barbells subtly showed through tight t-shirts if I wasn?t wearing a bra. Whenever I went to festivals or concerts, I reveled in the opportunity to subtly showcase my body art. I felt badass and sexy, the best combination.
I?m not sure when or if I?ll ever decide to take them out. Once and a while I ponder the idea but then worry the holes would close up quickly. A few weeks ago, I was forced to take my piercings out for a whole day and it was weird. After 6 years, I?ve certainly grown attached. I think I?m a little less self-conscious than my 18-year-old self, so maybe the love I currently have for my nipples would carry over even if the barbell was out.
But for right now, I have no real intention of abandoning my piercings. In fact, I?m currently in the market to buy new jewelry.
