I was hanging out with my ex best friend one day when we decided to stop by BurningStar to chat with Richard, the piercer, about business and whatnot. While we were there he started joking with me about other piercings, saying, "When we going to pierce your pee pee again?"

I started talking to him about it seriously, asking questions about the history, aftercare and obviously, pain. He gave me answers and I decided to go home and think about it more. Every time I would go into his shop after that he would talk to me about it, saying, "When you want to do it man?" But I kept procrastinating.
One night I came in with my friend again. Richard was with some customers, he turned around and I jokingly told him, "lets pierce my pee pee." He looked at me and said, "ok." That freaked me out a little so I went outside and smoked a cigarette. Richard popped his head outside and said, "As soon as we're done with this piercing we're going to do your apadravya." I was a bit shocked, in a scared sense. This was my penis for crying out loud. I was stuttering and all like, "What? I was joking!" But I played along with him, thinking he was joking with me still. I came inside and was like, "You were joking, right?" And he said, "No, I'm going to set up for you right now."
He got out an 1 1\4 inch barbell to leave room for swelling. Afterwards I could come back and downsize to a 1 1\8 inch barbell that would fit me snug. I went back out to the lobby and was talking to my friend about coming in the room with me for moral support. Richard came out and asked if his apprentice could watch and a few minutes later he asked if his girlfriend could watch as well. I was starting to get a little freaked out because that part of the body knows when it's about to be put through some pain. I finally agreed to it all on the condition that my friend could come back as well for moral support, I needed him.
I got up on the table, Richard put a dental bib around the area for bleeding, he prepared the area and explained he was using some forester clamps on the piercing because, while he usually pierces free hand, when he did my dydoes on the second one I thrusted my hips causing him to break contact, so he decided to use the clamps just to be safe. He marked me up with the toothpick and it scared me a little. He was explaining everything to his apprentice and I was just sitting back, scared as hell. He told me we were about to get started, he started to explain to me that I would feel a little prick, to take a deep breath in and exhale slowly, and then I would feel the needle go through, then break through the urethra, then go back through the top part of the urethra, then finally through the top of the corneal ridge. I asked for a glass of water, drank it, then folded the plastic cup so I could bite on it, bite the bullet and all that.
I said I was ready. He laughed and said, "good call." I felt the prick, took my deep breath in and...wow. I felt the needle going through and I could definetly feel the needle going through the urethra. He said, "Alright, you're pierced, I'm going to put the jewelry in now." He put it through and cleaned me up. I got up and gave him a hug, as was our tradition, for thanks. Tipped him, then went outside for a smoke to calm my nerves. I was looking at my friend and he looked a bit green, saying it was the most disgusting thing he had ever seen. Afterwards I went to the store and bought some guaze and surgical tape. The morning after I was in horrible pain, no blood though. Passing that first clot wasn't painful but peeing at a 90 degree angle was a bit odd.
I healed it with no problems what so ever. It always seems to come out at parties. Every wants to see it and hear the story, they never believe me until they see it. It's at a 10 gauge now, and I am now attempting to downsizing it and my ultimate goal is being able to see through it.
