I had been having a craving for a new piercing for some time. Wanting to continue with genital piercings, I rolled all options over and over in my head. I already have piercings on the lower side of my penis, so I was thinkin of what I could add to the sides,or top. I looked thru BME for several days. I had desided on a Reverse Prince Albert. I went to the shop I always go to (INK CITY). Told the piercer,Candy what I wanted. I started to fill out the paper work. I was goin to pay with a new credit card I had just goten. I asked if she needed to run it thru while I was doin the paper work? She said they didn't have there credit card machine hooked up yet. Cause they had just moved into a new shop the week befor. So there I was hyped up,nervous,and scared,then I got rejected! The 30 minute ride home sucked, seemed as if It was a 100 miles. I had already told my friends that I was goin to get it. I felt as if I had let them down as I did myself. That was the 1st attempt.
I went back 2 days later, with cash! Again hyped up,scared and nervous. On the ride I was tryin to find easy listing music to melow me out. No luck, I was so tense. Pulled into the parkin lot. It looked vacant. Which is rare, there is always people hangin out. I pulled around back, where the crew from shop park. Still no cars! Pulled back around front, got out looked at the sign. They close on Sundays and Mondays, and you guessed it. That was a Monday. I wasn't let down as hard as the 1st time, although upset that I had wasted 2 trips and still not got pierced. I had considered goin to a new shop a few blocks from there. But I desided to be faithfull to my people at Ink City. That was the 2nd attempt. On the way home I stoped at a friends house to see him. We drank a few beers, got bored. And desided to go see some tittys. That was a fuck up! We went to the titty bar and to make a long story short, I spent my piercing money. So now I was broke, it would be a few weeks b e for I could recover for the cash spendin splurge.
Weeks went by befor I was able to plan my piercing again. I wanted to kick my self in the ass for spending all my money. This time I was leaving no loose ends, that would keep me from gettin pierced. I had an appointment set up for noon. I hate having to set it up like that,cause it gives me time to get nervous. But I had 2 strikes already and wasnt goin to make it strike 3! That morning I woke up got in the BME chat room, They was talkin about one of the World Trade Centers was hit by an air plane. Not much longer after I turned the TV on live cameras caught the 2nd plane hit. I sat there watching that act of terror. As I watch the towers collopse I felt such deep sorrow for the inoccent people and there familys. I had such mixed emotions that day. The nervousness I had felt from the time I got out of bed was now replaced with a feeling that is hard for me to describe. But my day had came, and I wasnt goin to let anything get in my way of getting pierced this time.
At the time I set up the appointment up. I was still thinkin I would get the Reverse Prince Albert. But the night befor some one in the BME chat linked his Apadravya experience. I had not gave an Apadravya much though, cause I had an Ampallang befor. And didn't want to commet to that kind of healing time and such. But the more I though about it the more I was intrested in it. I read more experiences, it was appealing to me more than any other piercing I had read about. I started thinkin I would go thru my lower Prince Albert hole. Doing that I though it wouldnt hurt as bad as my Ampallang.
I left to go to Ink City. I wanted to take my time gettin there, have time to eat, and get in to the "zone" for the Apadravya. Cause people I had talked to about the Apadravya, said it was a very painfull piercing. On the ride there I could feel my muscles tensing up. Knowin that my legs tensing up, was makin my penis draw up...hahaha... I tryed to relax more. I wanted to listen to some music, but all that was on was the terroist attack coverage. So I turned the radio off, and just concentrated on breathing. That seemed to mellow me out some. I got to Ink City, walked in said my hellos to every one there. Candy was goin to finish eating lunch, while I filled out the paper work. I started askin Matt (the shop owner) about the Apadravya. He said It wouldnt be to bad to go thru th Prince Albert hole. After Candy was finished eating, we talked about tranfering the Prince Albert. She was intrestin in doin that, not gettin to do many piercing of that type and being bored with t ounge and navel piercings. (hahaha) She told me some what of what I was looking at as far as healing time, and pain wise. She had told me that it could hurt alittle more than my Ampallang (which she did). That had me SO scared. Matt was raggin on me, sayin "dude, you don't have the balls, to get that done!" So that was all that had to be said, I couldnt back from a challange. So I went to smoke part of a cig, and I dont even smoke. Then she went to the room to get everything ready, while I went to piss and make sure there wasnt nothing crusty down there. I walked into her piercing room. She had the blinds pulled, shut the door behind me. Sarted playing Sublime on the CD player. She told me she was out of a certain length 12 gage barbell, and needed to see how far foward or back I wanted it. I droped my pants, jumped on the table, pulled my junk out for her to get to it better. Just my luck! She didn't have the right length barbell for the place I wanted it to exit out the top of my head. Told me I could come back in a few days and she would have one. I was like "HELL NO!!, I dont care what gage you use, I want it done TODAY". We decided to move it foward some, and use a shorter barbell. I asked if she would turn the radio up, so I could block out everything else. She removed my 8 gage captive bead ring I had in my Prince Albert. After that she wiped me off, marked the top of my head with the pin. I was really gettin nervous now. All I could think about was all the painfull story I had been told, and me blacking out just a second when getting my Ampallang done. I tryed to focus on my breathing. Candy had said some thing to me and I didn't even hear what she said, cause I was tying to "zone out". She asked again, this time I heard her. I answered " yeah, I am ok!" She clamped my head. I was expecting it to be more uncomfortable than it was. I again focused on my breathing. I told Candy that when I nodded my head I was ready. She told me that when I exhaled she was goin to stick me. I felt like I was on a high or something, everything was in slow motion. I was staring at a corner in the room, I nodded to her. As I blew my breath out, I felt one of the most intence rushes I had ever felt. I let an out loud grunt, whick must have been louder than I thought cause I could here Matt laughtin at me in the front room. She told me to relax, the needle was thru. I looked down at my penis, pancaked from the forcups with the needle stuck thru it. I started to laught out loud. I was still feeling the rush flowing thru me so strong, like electricity! It was great! I looked back up in the corner as she finished it. She incerted the jewlery, then unclamped me. As the forcups was released and blood began to flow thru my head again, there was a burning I felt. I started to break out in a sweat. It wasn't a long burn just for a second or so, but something to notice. After that Candy cleaned me up. To both of our suprise I had a single drop of blood at the tip of my urethra. We took pic for her to post on there web site ( www.inkcitytattoo.com). She made me sit there and talk to her, to make sure I wasnt going to pass out. I was fine, and feeling so good with a new piercing and all the adrinolne rushing thru me. I was GREAT!
As with most piercings, it takes time to get use to it. The bead on the top of my head was very sensitive. Wearing boxers allowed me to swing and rub against my short, so that made my penis notice it. I felt like I was on Viagria, cause I stayed hard more than on limp the 1st day.That night sleeping was difficult, I was sore and sleep on my belly which makes it worse. It didnt take long to figure out how to fluff a pillow between my legs to keep my legs from rubbing my penis, or laying on it. After the 1st day I never really hurt, just uncomfortable expecaly when sleeping and erections. After a week I noticed that the lower side was tryin to pull up inside my Prince Albert hole that was 8 gage, cause the Apadravya bread was close to the same size at the Prince Albert. I go to Candy to tell her what is happing with me. She puts a 10 mil bead on the lower side to keep it from goin into the hole. She said she was sorry about it happing, and in a few months she would put a new barbell in for free.
So here it is almost 2 months later and I am doin fine. I bleed a drop when gettin it done, and could wipe a bit of blood when cleaning it up for about 5 days. I have had no major trouble out of the Apadravya like I did with my Ampallang. The pain was nothing near what I had my self build up to think it was goin to be. And have been told it is very stimulating for the woman during sex. I am very happy with my choice of piercing.
For anyone that reads this, if you have any questions, I would be glad to answer what I can for you
