I recently got a new piercing, but hang on...not your typical kind. I had been thinking about this type of piercing for so long because I thought it looked really cool. Although, I never thought I'd actually go through with it because I’ve always been afraid of piercings! But what changed my mind was my friend Jessica, who got hers pierced and convinced me that it didn't hurt and that it's totally worth it! So, I ended up going with her to the same salon she’d gotten hers done in, and I can’t even begin to explain the amount of adrenaline I felt! I just couldn’t believe I was actually doing it! But of course, I made Jessica promise not to tell anyone about it, because the truth is, I was kinda embarrassed about it, especially as my parents are like super religious and traditional.
You see, I’ve always been the black sheep of the family. In my opinion, life is all about having fun and we don’t need to be so uptight about things. This has, of course, led to a lot of fights with my parents who totally don’t believe in living life the way I do. It’s not my fault though! I mean seriously they are just impossible to deal with!! Can you believe that this one time my dad grounded me for a whole day just because I got a fake tattoo on my arm?! (animator: should be something innocent like a flower). Anyway, you guys must understand that when you have parents like that, your life becomes kinda like a prison and you just want to break free. That was actually what encouraged me even more to go ahead and get a nipple piercing! It’s not like they’d ever find out about it, right?!
Well, that didn’t end up being the case. Let’s just say...things didn’t exactly go according to plan. In fact, pretty much the worst-case scenario that could ever happen, happened! And it ended up getting me in deep, deep trouble!
Ok, so here’s the deal...that first day that I got the piercing, things were all good. It hurt a little bit, but I was fine with it. I think I was too excited and just blocked out the pain. But the following day, something felt terribly wrong, and that’s when I began to seriously regret this stupid thing I’d done!
I woke up that morning to unbearable pain in my breast. It felt like my skin had been cut wide open and every time I touched the piercing, I screamed in pain. I frantically called Jessica to ask her what I should do, and she said that this was just normal and that it had happened to her too. “You just have to be patient. It will hurt for about a week, but then you’ll feel fine again,” she assured me. So then I tried my best to ignore the pain and just carry on with life. However, I couldn’t ignore it for long, because pretty quickly, it started to swell up really bad! I called Jessica again and told her that I wanted to take it out, but then she warned me that it wasn’t a good idea to remove it as I’d be left with a horrible scar that would never go away! She told me to chill out, and said the pain was normal, and that all I needed to do was clean it so that it didn’t get infected.
So, that’s what I did. I started cleaning it every couple of hours with soup and water. The cold water made it feel better, and I used some ice too. “Why are you running to the bathroom every couple of minutes?” my mom stopped me as I was running to clean it. “Ummm well, I think I ate something bad and I'm not feeling great,” I told her. Because I’d replied so quickly, my mom didn’t think much of it and told me to drink some tea and feel better soon.
I hurried back into the bathroom to take a look, and it seemed like things were getting even worse. It was beyond painful now! In that moment, I realised that asking Jessica for advice was useless! She had no idea about the pain I was going through, and I needed someone who actually understood what was going on to tell me what to do! But who?!
I mean, this was obviously a big secret that only Jessica knew about, and there was no way I was going to ask my parents for help! They would totally kill me!! The only thing I could do was go online and read all about nipple piercings. And to my complete and utter shock, everything I was doing was in fact wrong! Nothing Jessica had said was
