As an avid fitness enthusiast, I am at the gym 4-5 times a week. I like a routine, so I get up early and get it out of the way before work. It’s less crowded and I’ve come to love a morning workout to start my day.
Over the last few weeks, I’ve noticed a new member that just seems so interesting that I can't stop taking a second look. She's older than me, if I had to guess she’s early 50's. Very pretty but also a unique vibe. Her hair is blonde, seems polished, professional, but confident and some swagger like she’s way cooler than you would think. Her fashion is always on point; you can tell she cares about how she looks. On the gym floor she’s always in leggings and a sports bra. A tattoo peaks out from the side under the sports bra and it keeps you wondering what is going on under those clothes. Wherever she goes in the gym I always find myself admiring her. Not in a weird way but like hey, want to be friends?
Last week I’ve noticed she has switched to swimming at the end of her workout since we were both in the locker room at the same time. I am changing for work and her to hop into a swimsuit. We were in the same section, so I breached the first barrier of saying hello but nothing more as we changed. She returned my hello with such a nice and bubbly " hey, how are you doing" as she was pulling off her sports bra. We started to chat but I couldn't help but notice the way her boobs fell out of the bra and sat perfectly on her chest... her nipples were pierced with the biggest rings I had ever seen. They fell from the support of the bra and sat perfectly in proportion. Although I had never seen anything like, it was incredible how wonderful the whole view looked as she stood there so confidently. These rings were giant, and gold, with little diamonds across the bottom. When I say giant, they had to be as thick as a pencil, or maybe even a sharpie. It was crazy to see, but easy to adjust to and admire.
We exchanged quickly about how the workout was and she told me she was headed to swim for 20 mins to cool down. She worked to get her one piece suit on as I was finishing buttoning my shirt. She said "enjoy the rest of your day" and walked toward the pool entry door. As she walked away I was awe struck again; her suit was a one piece high cut thong and her tan from behind looked so perfect and elegant. I've never been attracted to another female and I still don't put this in that category but I sure was intrigued to get to know this beautiful and confident new potential friend. I went on with my day feeling amazing and enjoying the feeling I had been given.
Fast forward another couple days and while on the treadmill I heard a friendly hello. It was my new friend that had come to say hello. She said "I'm sorry, I never got your name the other day" Julie, I said. Great, I am Jess! We waved and said, “see you around.
This day Jess beat me to the locker room and was changing into her work clothes as I walked in. She waved me over as she sat down on the bench and asked how my workout was. She just had her underwear and pants on but no bra or shirt yet as she was messing with her. I noticed the way her nipple rings moved and bounced as she messed with her hair... it was mesmerizing. I also noticed that her rings were different than the day we met. Gold still, but no diamonds and they were not exactly round, they looked great though. Interesting, it makes sense that you would have fun jewelry for such unique piercings. She finished getting dressed and said goodbye.
Another week passed by and I ran into Jess in the locker room again. Its funny the timing but she always seems to be topless ever time we chat. Haha. This time she was getting changed for her workout and she said hello as I walked in. She was standing in a black thong and pulling her leggings up. I had never really noticed but she had a large belly button ring as well. Not quite like the nipples but still much larger than normal. Its funny that I had never noticed it before. I grabbed a locker near by and asked how her weekend was. She talked about a cookout she had attended and how her husband had been gone on a golf trip. This time we really got to talk and connecting so it just felt super comfortable. She sat down on the bench next to me and grabbed a little black bag velvet case from her bag. She reached up to her left breast as she talked to me and removed the bead holding her nipple ring captive. She was wearing some silver rings that were plain but larger diameter than the previous ones I had seen. She removed the bead and slide the ring inside her nipple to remove the ring. She did the same with her right breast and placed both rings inside the black case. I wasn't exactly sure what was happing but she did it so fast like it was something she does every day. Out from the case came two thick diameter bars like the rings. She slid them into her piercings and put the bead on the end. They looked so different, still beautiful but just different. After that she stood up and then quickly back down like she had forgotten something. She reached toward her belly button and with one quick motion removed the large ring from her navel piercing. She dug around the case and pulled out a black piece of jewelry that I didn't really recognize until she slid it through her piercing and stood up. It was a tunnel, like you see if people’s ears, but it was long enough to work in her navel. She grabbed her sports bra and said "ugghh, its a treadmill day".
At this point I had a bit of an epiphany and realized she was probably changing her heavy jewelry for lighter pieces since it was a running day. The days I had seen her big rings she had lifted and swam. Hmm, I had to ask with my reply. " I hate to run but its a necessary evil, so is that why you changed your jewelry? Incredible piercings by the way"
Oh yeah, I guess that is different to see, huh?” replied, Jess. Yeah, I love the size of my rings but they are too heavy to wear when I run. Its easier to just change them really quick, especially my belly button, since it bounces a lot when I run. This totally made sense as to why I had never even noticed the belly ring. Its usually just this tunnel and its hard to notice compared to a ring. Now that I noticed it, I found it really cool. I told Jess that I was so intrigued by her jewelry and how it all worked. I had never gotten a piercing besides my ears but seeing these had me wanting to potentially change that.
Jess was super nice and said to get a closer look and ask anything I wanted. I paused for a second and said well, are you going to do the sauna after your workout? She replied yes so I said lets just meet there in 60 minutes.
We both went to work out and met back at the sauna as we planned. I had always been a clothes wearer in the sauna but I knew Jess would be naked so I just took a towel and a deep breathe in. We walked in and jess laid down her towel to sit on it. I did the same. We sat and relaxed a second, luckily we were the only ones in there. She opened up the black case and pulled out 5-6 different sets of rings to show me. Here, these are my nipple jewelry and these are for my belly button. I asked how her holes got so big and she explained how she had slowly stretched the size over the 25 years of being pierced. She told me she preferred the look of her rings and loved to change the jewelry often. I don't really like the bars but they are fine for a run. She pulled her gold diamond rings out and inserted the first one into her left nipple. She handed me the right ring and told me to hold it up to my breast. Oh girl, you have the boobs for these too! She said, I thought for the first time, yeah, I would die to have these big rings. Jess removed the bar and said here, put my ring in so you can see how it works. OMG, are you sure? I was excited but nervous at the same time. I was shocked at how easily it slid right in and hung there perfectly. I asked if it hurt at all and she explained not one bit. Actually, the larger the rings are, the more sturdy and healed they are. She said they haven't hurt in 10 years once she got to the larger sizes.
Jess said which belly ring should I do today? I'm off work, so it’s a crop top day, pick something fun. I looked at the case and saw a thick seamless gold ring but it was really small diameter. It looked extra thick but I thought it might look really nice in the way it would frame her tan navel. She hummed and said... maybe. I bought that for my nipples but they were just a bit too small. It’s one thickness larger than I normally wear in my belly but I would love to have it be the same size as my nipples so I could share the jewelry between the two. Let’s try it!
The tunnel slid out and she worked this new gold ring through her navel piercing. It was a little awkward to hold such a small diameter ring but it actually slid right in. She closed the hinged part so it was a seamless ring again and said Tada! It looked incredible.
I asked a few more piercing questions and then got to talking about life itself, family, etc. Our 20 mins was up so we grabbed our towels and went to shower.
After a quick shower we were back near our lockers. Jess through on shorts and her crop top. The belly ring looked incredible paired with it. I said hey jess, didn't you say you were off today? Yeah. I am !
I had a wild hair but I said, I am off too, would you want to come with me to get my nipples pierced? Before I knew it we were in my car headed to a piercing studio to meet with her favorite piercer. When we arrived we told her I wanted my nipples done. I told her I wanted to eventually have them stretched to a size like Jess and the piercer seemed well on board to help me do that. We headed into the piercing room and sat down. The piercer mentioned I had some options as far as getting this accomplished. She asked Jess what size she was at now and for the first time I heard her ring size which meant nothing to me. 00 gauge she replied. I didn't know what it meant but I knew I wanted to be there some day. She showed me the gauge chart and where 00g was. It was almost the largest they make. She then showed me the sizes I could get pierced at, 12g, 10g, 8g, or given the size of your nipples I would comfortable doing them at 6g. The smaller the number, the larger the jewelry size. Looking at the 6g all the sudden looked huge when I thought about it being shoved through me. Shit. How did Jess get to 00g!? The piercer asked if Jess minded to show her the 00g rings she had which she happily obliged. It’s not all that often that I see large gauge nipples so it’s awesome to check them out. The pierced also complimented her now 00g navel ring and pulled up her shirt to show us her stretched belly ring, it was a 4g but looked so cute and oversized. She peeked at me and said I can tell you what we are going to do here. Do you trust me? I replied with a slow, yes, I think so. The piercer was kind and I could tell she was ready to handle this project. The piercer grabbed two gold rings and a gold barbell with flat disks on the end. She said okay, you need to understand that being pierced at the larger sizes only hurts marginally worse than the tiny ones. I personally think they heal better and its obvious the huge sizes are where you want to be. So, we will pierce your nipples at 6g and immediately stretch to 4g. It’s not going to be super fun but I promise it’s not that bad and you will make it. Then...
Wait, there’s a then?
Then we will do your belly button with a 4g needle and immediately stretch to 2g. The stretch helps stop bleeding and since we have just pierced it doesn't hurt worse than a regular jewelry insert. You just have to do the insert twice if that makes sense. One stretch, one insert.
I think if you are brave you will be so happy with the result. 4g nipple rings will already feel and look large, you will immediately love them!
Okay, I am in. Jess told me i was a badass and I laid down on the table. We decided to do my nipples first and then my navel because it was going to hurt less. The piercer went over the instructions to take some deep breaths as she lined up the needle. On my 3rd deep exhale she pierced me and followed the needle with the 4g taper. FUCK, it was intense. In the moment I briefly thought why the hell did I sign up for this. However, that feeling was quickly met with euphoria as I looked down and saw the ring hanging from my nipple. She was right, the 4g ring looked huge... and beautiful. I felt so alive. She asked if I was ready to do the other and I nodded yes. I knew I could do another. Deep breath in and out, and again, and pierce... FUCKING HELL, that one was worse. Luckily the euphoria set in again as she inserted the ring and told me to stand up. As I walked to the mirror I could see my tits were changed forever. The way the rings moved as I walked was incredible, my husband was going to love them! I felt on cloud 9!
As I stood admiring my new nipples I had forgotten I still had a navel to go. The piercer marked the location and told me to lay down again. Went started the breathing again and as we approached that third breath I was dreading it and expecting the worst. Pierce... okay, some pressure but not bad, taper through, still not bad at all. Wait, that was so easy... not much worse than my ear lobe. I stood up and walked to the mirror to see a gorgeous sight. I couldn't wait to show the world
We paid and thanked the piercer for all her help. The next couple days I was sore but not awful. My husband was surprised but loves them! We are 8 months into the healing now and I can say I rarely get an ounce of pain. Jess and I continue to work out together a few times a week. She’s a great friend and so much fun. Last week we were in the Sauna and a lady stopped to say how much she loved the size of our rings. We both laughed and I warned her that this is how it started for me too. The next thing I knew I was pierced. To which she replied, well I already have the hard part done. Mine are pierced but I need to stretch them like you guys! It looks so good. We gave her some tips and let her know how much more comfortable they are. Who knows, maybe the sauna will have a 3rd friend with gauged nipples soon.
