Piercings

I had to take my left nipple ring out this past Saturday. The right one has been out for some time now, maybe 8 months. It had started to grow out and was irritating me, so I took it out. Bingo! The hole closed right up. The same with this left one, it is completely closed up today. I had my nipples pierced 4 years ago, and after the first year they seemed completely healed. I could take the rings out and everything and put them back in. But I guess they weren't ever completely healed or maybe it was just time to let the piercing go.

The same thing happened when I got the second piercings for my ears. They healed fine and then about a year later, I took out the earrings I was wearing and within a few days they were closed completely. Weird. I feel so silly, I am actually mourning my nipple piercings. I suppose I could get them re-pierced but it hurt, a lot! I am not too enthused about going through that again, especially since they may close up again after a few years or whatever.

On the up side, though, I can now go braless again! Yay! After getting pierced my nipples were so sensitive I would get irratated by them rubbing against a t-shirt or whatever. Also the piercing caused them to be erect all the time and very noticeable. I got tired of being stared at and stuff. Since I am a fairly small-breasted woman very often people don't notice if I have a bra on or not. With my nipple piercing they definitely noticed. Since I absolutely refuse to wear a harness, I mean a regular strap and hook bra, I opted for sports bra. Very snug, and the lining never irrated my nipples.

Out and about today braless and man, I had forgotten how freeing it is! Who invented bras anyway, and why do we women think we need them? The sports bra is a definite help when I am exercising and was a god send with my piercings, but other than that, I don't need a bra.

So I doubt very much if I will ever get my nipples re-pierced. Still pondering the tongue and navel thing, though.
