A passable excuse for an introduction
dee
I'm including the relevant private snippet of conversation that sparked this
whole tome to begin with because I just don't want to write a new lead-in.
I trust lish will have no problem with her quoted statement of fact being
made public.
I just really didn't want to torture her and only her with having to read
all about me.

I'm beginning to think that it really may only be this country. Like, are
other, um, modern countries having screaming literacy problems that you know
of? I used to work in the West Village for T-W-O years, Jesus Christ!
Ugly is drunk wanna-be-yuppie and little Long Island britneys or
WANNABErudeboys and EVEN RUDER ** fat black dykes at 4am on a sat night
joking about getting ***their dicks pierced, or maybe seriously a nipple,
yeah right, and wondering if we still sold Fake ID's. *sigh*
** I really have nothing against fat black dykes, I'm around some all the
time, it seems. These merely are descriptive terms, and there really are a
subset that are just ANGRY at everything, it seems.
***The dick comment originally applied to the yuppies, of course. I just
threw in a bunch of other mongrels in the heat of the moment. And not too
many rude fat black dykes asked for fake ID's, just to set the record
straight.
IF ONLY I had pierced a totally random trannie while I worked there. But
LORD there were some FINE gay men I got to see scantily clad. Another
piercer on the block had the cute dyke market virtually cornered. I never
did get to fuck her. *sigh*
So now that I've mentioned I pierce (in addition to being a phone sex chick
part time) I reckon I have to explain myself:
Raised as a piercer in the village, been piercing for about 2 years now and
moved to a shop in Brooklyn that's never had a steady piercer before, so
business has been slow, but I'm bribed well enough to stay there. I'm at
the point where I need more technical information though, where I'd like to
study under someone who can take me further than my ghetto upbringing.
However, I will say this: piercing in the village totally gives valuable
mass experience. I learned a lot intuitively about what works by what
people were coming into me complaining about. It is really a tragedy that
I've had to fix so many damned fucked up navels originally done by teens at
a slumber party or by hindi guys on St Marks or by guns (GAH!) or whatever.
And then there are the women that come in and have to lift of the top layer
of their stomach to show me their nasty infected sweaty piercing because a
piercer just pierced their navel and didn't explain to them that, um,
perhaps a surface piercing that you can actually see might be more viable.
I really hated working in the village sometimes, like when the Koreans
forced you to do a piercing you hadn't done before without saying a word. I
mean, if it was something I really wanted guidance on I'd call someone else
over to assist, running through the theory with them first and all. But
still. One of the bosses made me pierce with danglies. Everyone else I
managed to bully down into automatically rejecting it when I was on shift.
At the moment I don't claim to even think I have mad 1337 piercing skills or
anything, I know I can pierce a straight navel, I'm showing much improvement
on nostrils since I can take more time with them now, but I'm really pouty
that I haven't pierced a tongue (besides my boyfriend's snakebites - which
are coming out after I get a picture of them because we never kiss anymore.
My double vertical labrets don't affect kissing at all!) since January. I
love tongues (except my brother's...it was REALLY weird piercing that for
some reason).
I really need much more information on genitals, but I have done some. I
find a vertical hood easier to do than a horizontal, but I can only do it
with micro triangles, for example. I'm not universally trained or skilled
with the receiving tube and how the hell to get the skin to stay stable, and
I guess my intuition has limits. I don't use rubber bands, I don't really
hurt people, and I screw my balls on tight.
And OH GOD, and the STORIES of people getting repierced 2 even 3 times in a
single sitting because of (what they don't know is really called) "loss of
connection" or whatever reason....tapers, people, TAPERS!)
I'm always in the process of collecting different piercing related
techincal details and notions and attempting to research unknowns on the
web, but there's only so much of the essence you can learn. I can't afford
the entire collection of videos out there to compare and contrast.
Besides, all of that will really only do me so much good. I'm trying to
save up for the Fakir course, but I don't see that happening anytime soon
since I'm going back to school full time in the fall to start pre-nursing.
I've always wondered whether writing a letter to or visiting a shop
owner/piercer would be useful in perhaps introducing a work/study
arrangement of some kind (Not paid work, I guess...I don't know if 1-2
shifts a week for a bunch of months would even be useful, but damn I'd
clean!). If MAB were still around it would get the first letter, and I'd
work in chains! :)
So what's a girl to do? I need help. I can't just up and quit piercing
because there are still SOOOO many neat things to do. And plus, if I have
an assoc in nursing I could pierce in a Doctor's office on the upper
east/west side for rich kids, in theory, right? Eventually I want to get
into sex therapy or women's health or perverse (?) research of some . But
I think I'm planning on becoming relatively covered in tattoos (I'm not sure
though, it's a recent decision...I do have some that are obvious anyway) I
have to eventually become a Nurse Practitioner. I'm also thinking about
taking a Phlebotomy (when will I STOP trying to put a G in that word?)
course, but I don't want to be in the real world *quite* that fast. If I
could afford to take it recreationally, I would. Along with painting, life
drawing, collage, guitar lessons, et al.
In general, I need to become exponentially studious in multiple educational
and recreational subjects (I decided if I started treating piercing like a
hobby, I'd enjoy it more and pay more attention to it. And it has, my
curiousity is piqued) and increase the amount of shit stuffed in my brain
significantly this fall, and become a straight A student for the first time
in my C career (except for the 99's I had in all of my Aero Engineering
classes in HS) so I can get a full scholarship to NYU. Wish me luck.
Have NOOTROPICS worked for you? I'm curious. I really do want to
SLAUGHTER my boyfriend's ass in Scrabble on a consistent rather than
he's-stuck-with-all-consonants basis.
I've been lurking for years and years on and off, probably since I was in
college the first time. I'll be 27 in 3 months, 1 week, 4 days, and 32
minutes.
My Piercing History:
My first piercing was done by KA, my tongue (which is now an 8) I think in
98 or so, maybe 97. It never seems long ago enough. :)
Then I thought an eyebrow would be cute, got that in the village. They
didn't even wipe my glitter off. It was weird to realize that I was working
in the same piercing chair occasionally and that one of my bosses had
probably done the piercing.
Back to Keith for a nostril and industrial. I thought we had a decent
conversation and I bled for a while so I sat around, but he didn't remember
me when I went to get my nipples pierced while he was at DV8, and I was
crushed. Sigh. I thought he was like God or something, and I also thought
he had told me he was a fellow Saggitarian, but was told otherwise when I
mentioned that. It made the piercing hurt more, I think. :) But damn, is
he intense. I don't think I'd be scared of him now, though. I got over
that fear shit in the village seeing how scared the general populace is of
everything. But it's fun to pretend to be scared. :) Mmm.. But those
didn't heal well. He pierced them with 12 ga 5/8" rings, but I have
flattish nipples and it didn't really work out well.
Nowadays I sport the two vertical labrets which were done this year by TJ
McGillis, whom is one of the few piercers on 6th Ave I think I'd
consistently trust with a needle ever again and a CBR without a bead in the
middle of the two (What's up with "BCR" working it's way in now, pray
tell?), a tiny silver stud in my nostril, both eyebrows with a ball on the
bottom and spike on top, both traguses with 1/4" horseshoes, 5/8" tunnels
and other trivialities on my ear. NO MORE CARTILAGE, EVER! Both of my
industrials migrated because I don't really have the arcs for them and I
really miss my rook which healed like shit. It just all hurts too much
healing wise. *sigh*
For a while I was sporting a nostril chain. I'm contemplating having a go
at it again.
TJ repierced my nipples. But I totally humiliated myself because I was
waaaaayyy to pumped up on adrenaline about this piercing and minorly
jumped/shrieked when it all went down. I was much more well behaved the
first time, for Keith, of course. ;)
I had a horiz hood which completely got in the way of my masturbation, and I
got a vertical done when Gotham first opened in NY. I got bored with that
after about 3 years, and am annoyed at the scar that's there, but what can
you do. I attacked my "you never know if they still might be open"
dimples with a mirror and a pointy 14ga taper a few months ago, and after
struggling to look under my hood for the exit dimple, it seemed to be a lot
closer to the outer edge than it should have. I don't think it had
migrated, but I think it was pierced at a steep angle to begin with, hence
perhaps why the scar is so big. *shrug* It didn't really help me out
anyway.
I'm thinking about a triangle, though. We seem compatible. Keith told me I
was well hung for a girl, and I'm sure I'm not a unique and individual
butterfly in his world. I'll either have TJ do it or someone at Venus,
perhaps. I also keep having fantasies about large tunnels in my inner
labia, but I don't know that I want the floppy repercussions of that.
I do want to do a suspension, but maybe a pull first. I love play
piercings in general.
I have no color ink on my body, yet, I'm thinking of doing mostly black and
gray with hints of color or something. I'll post pictures of my tattoos and
face, even, one of these days. Oh, and I really am over my KA crush, I
think. Unless he's sporting a goatee...then I can't help but swoon.
That's all you're getting from me, for now.
Nice meeting you.
Shalom,
dee
PS: YO! The BodMod Community is in NO way fucked up when at 6:30 this
morning I had a man pay me (well, the company) for a nearly 2 hour call in
which we talked about the different textures of shit and how they smudge and
rectal speculums and carrying her turd and well, yeah, you get the picture.
