Not alternative enough

I’m watching a programme on the teevee about boobs and I just saw a woman get her nipples pierced.

AAAAAUUUGGGGGGHHHHHHH. Especially the bit where the piercer CLAMPED the nipple. I hate the clamping part, it really, really hurts.

I am a big fan of piercing and tattoos in general, people should be able to modify their bodies as they please as long as no one else gets hurt. And a woman just lost a nipple because her piercing got infected or something. Bleeaahhh. (Also, she’s a nudist and is one of those pale Caucasians and she has tattoos as well, and I do fear for skin cancer in her case.)

As you can probably tell from this post, no nipples of mine have ever been pierced, nor have I ever contemplated the idea.

I still want a transverse lobe piercing, though, my first one rejected.
