“Amul Baby…let me ask you this one last time. Are you sure you want to go ahead with this and get your navel scarred for life?” Akki asked Amy eerily as they stood side by side outside a shop, staring at the shop sign that said “Urban tattoos and piercings.”

Amy elbowed him in the ribs and hissed “Shut Up !! I am nervous as it is without your help. I brought you along to give me some confidence boost, not to kill whatever confidence I already have” She was wearing jeans, crop top and her favourite jacket on top of it which she used to hide her bare belly by zipping it up over it.

“Alright !! Alright !! What are we waiting for then? Let’s go in?”

“Okay,” Amy nodded uncertainly, her navel tingling ominously with excitement. For some reason she couldn’t explain, she felt hyper-aware around her navel area today. Was it because of what happened with Akki back at the flat a few hours ago, or was it the uncertainty of what awaited her inside the piercing studio they were headed towards?

Akki took the lead and walked towards the entrance, opening the door for Amy and stepping back to let her pass. Amy took a deep breath and entered the reception area, looking around apprehensively. The walls were lined with close-up photos of different body parts, all featuring tattoos or piercings.

“Hello Mam! Hello Sir,” said a deep manly voice that startled both Akki and Amy. They looked simultaneously towards the source to see a tall man they hadn’t noticed before standing up from behind a counter. Amy felt a sudden blush rising to her cheeks, while Akki felt a bit intimidated and envious seeing his appearance.

The man was at least 6 feet 2 inches tall, fair, lean, and muscular. He wore a loose-fitting white vest and blue jeans. His bare biceps rippled with defined muscles that moved with each of his movements and were fully decorated with intricate tattoos covering his whole arms. His face was striking, with chiseled features, a strong jawline, and high cheekbones. His eyes were a clear light brown, intense and piercing. He had a fancily trimmed beard, and long spiky hair.

He walked over to them from behind the counter and raised a hand that had strong immaculate fingers. Akki took his hand first and shook. “I’m Chris” he introduced himself with a handsome smile to which Akki meekly replied “Akshay”. Next he turned towards Amy and gave her his hand which Amy took self consciously being hyper aware of how her small intricate hands felt inside his strong masculine one and squeaked out “Hi !! I am Ameya.”

He smiled “Akshay and Ameya. How can I help you guys today?”

“Umm … we are here for a piercing…..” Amy started “for me…” she added stupidly pointing at herself immediately cringing internally at her behaviour.’

“Ok. What kind of piercing are you looking for? ” He asked, his penetrating warm gaze sweeping over her facial features making her squirm. “Nose? Lips? Tongue??”

“No No” Ameya started, blushing so hard that her face was starting to look like a tomato now “Ahh its…umm….ffor my…..my navel…”

“Ah ok.” He grinned his eyes travelling down her torso and stopping at her belly. Her belly did a triple somersault feeling his gaze though her midriff was covered at the moment by her coat.

“This way guys.” He said turning around and walking ahead of them towards another door. Amy’s eyes involuntarily began checking him out from behind. She noticed he had a tattoos on his back too which were rippling under his lean muscles. Akki too was very impressed by his physique, making a mental note check out the gym they had at their building, which he knew existed somewhere in the ground floor but never bothered to check out.

He led them into an inner room which seemed to be where all the action happened. Amy and Akki looked around in awe. The room was painted in black and red with bright overhead lights. A large mirror covered one wall and murals of tattoos and piercing covered others.

“Mam..” Chris’s deep voice called out from the side of the room with the large mirror. He was sterilizing his hands with a hand sanitizer when they turned to look at him. “Please come here he said.”

Amy gulped, looked at Akki and met his gaze for a moment as though seeking strength and support from his presence there for what she was about to do and then walked towards Chris.

He sat in a low stool facing sideways from the mirror and beckoned her to stand in front of him which she did. “Can you show me your navel, Mam?” He asked with a polite smile. Amy nodded and unzipped her jacket and shrugged it off showing off the sexy sleeveless croptop she was wearing underneath.

“Wow..” Chris gushed stunned by her sudden transformation into the sexy girl that was standing before him now. His eyes raked over her curves appreciately until it came and stopped at her navel, which was one of the sexiest and most symmetrical navel he has ever seen. It was perfectly round and quite deep even though she had a slim belly. Her body was fit and perfectly curved at all the right places.

Amy felt both pleased and shy at the same time noticing his clearly appreciative gaze. She was starting to get that alien feeling inside she has felt only a couple of times before again. The two times it happened before was right before the moments Akki was about to kiss or lick her navel. It was like a churning feeling on her navel knot, like a hunger, a carnal craving that need to sedated.

“Can you stand a bit closer please?” Chris said in a noticeably lower and huskier voice. He was clearly affected by the allure of Amy’s belly and couldn’t wait to get his hands on it. He unnecessarily caught both sides of her bare hips and moved her to stand closer to him – her belly right in front of his face. Amy squeaked in surprise feeling his firm hands on her sides and for a moment she thought he was going to start kissing her belly. She was breathing hard and tried to look sideways to distract herself from what was going on below her. But that turned out to be bad idea as she found herself facing the mirror and was met with the alluring sight of her standing in that skimpy croptop with her belly tantalizingly close to his face.

As she watched she saw him taking a swap of cotton, dabbing it with some disinfectant and next second she a felt a searing cooling sensation within her navel as Chris has inserted that cotton swab inside navel and was thoroughly rubbing the insides. Amy knew it was the standard procedure to thoroughly clean the navel before piercing, still it was damn erotic sight to see him twisting his finger into her navel through the mirror as she gasped and tried her best to keep a straight face. The sensation was too arousing and was getting damn near unbearable. She shut her eyes and closed it tight.

Suddenly she felt someone taking her hand and squeezing it lightly. She opened her eyes and saw Akki standing by her side. She smiled embarrassingly at him but was utterly grateful for the support and felt some of her control coming back to her as she squeezed his hand back.

Meanwhile Chris has removed the cotton swab and was now probbing the insides of her navel with a qtip, rubbing it over every nook and cranny of her navel walls and ultra sensitive navel knot driving her crazy.
Then he took a pen a carefully marked an area by drawing a small cross sign above her navel and marked another dot on the upper wall of her navel. His face was so close to her belly that she could feel his breaths on her skin now. Akshay’s slow rhythamatic squeezing of her hands was the only thing that was stopping her from breathing raggedly.

“Ok Mam…We are going to get started on the piercing now. Get ready.” Chris said as he prepared a sterilized needle, piercing clamp and a basic navel stud. Amy took a deep breath and whispered weakly “Okay..”

He took the clamp first and placed its prongs carefully, and then pressed the levers, clamping up the upper rim of her navel. Amy gasped feeling that pinch. “Ok Mam, take a deep breath..” Chris said positioning the piercing needle above her navel and when she did he quickly stabbed the needle through the clamped skin.

“Sssss…….” Amy hissed at the sudden piercing pain and squeezed hard on Akki’s hands.

“There… there… almost done,” Chris said in a soothing voice as he carefully pulled the needle out of the edge and screwed in the jewelry, making it into a navel stud. He took another qtip and carefully wiped her navel in the pierced area and finally declared “There you go..”

Amy stepped back turned towards the mirror. “Wow…” Akki whispered in awe beside her despite himself seeing her reflection. A slow grin stretched across her lips as she took in her reflection. She knew exactly what Akki’s ‘wow’ meant. That simple piercing had instantly elevated her sexiness multi-fold. If she looked sexy before, now she was looking drop dead sexy. Even Chris was checking her out appreciatively from behind.

“It looks very good on you Mam” Chris said smiling handsomely, “It suits you. Once the piercing heals a bit you can replace that stud with a fancier one. Give it a few days…”

After receiving piercing aftercare instructions from Chris and paying the bills, Akki and brightly beaming Amy finally bid good bye to Chris and left the studio. Amy has shrugged her jacket back on. But this time she hasn’t bothered to zip it back up. She wanted to flaunt her brand new piercing to the whole world.
