It all started about a month ago. I was browsing BME and came across some pictures of the apadravya. The instant I saw it, I knew I had to have it. I started reading some of the experiences and that just pushed the urge even more. I was a piercing virgin, so I really couldn't relate the pain in the stories. I have had several tattoos done in the past, but knew it would be different. I just had to find out how different.
At A Glance Author Slick Contact Slick@bme.anon When A week ago Artist Mik Studio Cold Steel America Location Haight in San Francisco Now this is a very big step for someone that always said "i'll take a thousand little needles pricks from the tattoo gun, but will never get a piercing". So I started thinking about it and asked my girlfriend. She took the "it's your decision route, but I won't object", which didn't help me too much. After about a week of hard thinking, I finally came to the conclusion of now or possible never. Also there was the idea that it not only looked awesome, but was a functional piercing. So the next day I got up and ate some breakfast and drank a Sprite and headed nervously down to Cold Steel. The entire time telling myself "you really won't get it, just look around and leave"; how wrong was I.
I get to Cold Steel and am standing outside smoking a cigarette, just looking at the front of the building like a deer caught in some headlights. My balls finally caught up with me and I went in. It was a very inviting looking place that I felt comfortable in, at least as comfortable as can be. I walked up to the counter and told him what I wanted and we talked about jewelry and sizes. After that he said that the piercer would be available in 5 mins if I was serious about getting it done. I said I was, filled out the paper work, showed my ID and paid for the piercing and the soap and salt for aftercare. The guy at the counter was an apprentice and asked if he could sit in and watch. I figure that if i'm ass-naked on a table waiting for a big needle to go through my dick, another pair of eyes can't really make it worse. So I invited him to watch. Now I was really getting nervous, so I went outside and had another cig.
When I came back in I had a seat and waited for Mik the piercer. It was only 2 minutes later when my name was called. I got up and went into the room with Mik and the apprentice (didn't actually get the apprentices name, sorry). The room looked like a doctors office with everything covered and clean. I talked with Mik and he went over everything and made sure I knew what I was doing. He asked me to drop my pants and hop onto the table and lay down. Mik put on a pair of gloves and proceeded to clean the entire area, the entire time going over all the anatomy with the apprentice (some things he explained, i didn't even know). He changed his gloves then he drew marks and asked me if they looked straight. Good enough for me. So he changed his gloves again and told me to start taking deep breaths and that on the 3rd exhale he would push the needle through. I didn't see any clamps and asked him if he was gonna go freehand. He said he was and got everything lined up. On e, two, three, AAAAAaaaahhhhooooowwww, and it was done. I'm not even gonna try and explain the pain, but I agree with a couple other people that it has to be the most instant and intense pain I have EVER felt. He slid the needle out and followed it with the jewelry. At this point I looked down and saw a shiny new addition, and it looked as good as I hoped. He tied a glove over it and that was it. I got up and straightened my head out for a few minutes, talking with Mik the whole time about aftercare, and caught a taxi home.
So here I am a week and a couple days later and the healing is going really good. There was some moderate bleeding the first 2 days and the sensitivity was going away on the 4th. Peeing was never a problem and wasn't even equal to soap getting in there. On the 7th day my dumbass thought it would be okay to use for sex because I could move the bar around without pain, but I was very wrong. I couldn't even get in in half way without searing pain from the pressure, so i'm gonna lay off that for another week and see what happens (i was wearing a condom per the aftercare instructions also). The little I did feel during sex (aside from the pain) felt like a record needle echoing her "textures" all the way through the head. That's the best I can describe it. It did work for the solo action, but I still had to be careful about where I was touching or pulling. I know that when I fully get to use my new addition, it will feel great.
