This happened a while ago, so I am going to try and remember it as best as I can...
At A Glance Author Randy Contact Randy_the_alchemist@hotmail.com When Six months ago Artist Tania Studio Anatomic Adornments Location Downtown Vanouver on Granville, behind Modrobs. For years, I have used BME as an information outlet. I have studied a lot of things that I seemed interested in, but to be flat out honest, the first thing I was ever interested in was an Apadravya, but at the time, I was fourteen. Bad timing on my part, but not like I would forget about it.
Eight piercing and one tattoo later, I turned eighteen. As soon as I turned eighteen, I rekindled the idea, but I felt that this was too serious a decision to jump into, so I seriously considered an apadravya for half a year, thereafter. I had argued with myself on what size to get the initial piercing done at, and after doing my research, I reasoned with 6ga. It sounded good and looked right to me, and I had read some really good things about 6ga anyways. I had also done my research on the place to go to, and after reading some excellent stories and getting a referral from another piercer, I decided to go to Anatomic Adornments on Granville in Down Town Vancouver. That decision was probably the easiest of this whole ordeal.
I am not sure if I am crazy, but I frequently found myself drawing on the head of my penis this big black or blue dot (depending on the pen at hand) , you know, just to pretend that I actually had an Apadravya. I just could not get over how hot it looked and how much it just seemed that it should be there. I think it was doing this over and over again that really made me feel that I needed an Apadravya. My little guy just looked so plain and, dare I say it, ugly when I was not imagining that I had a huge metal bar through it.
So I got to Anatomic about a half an hour early on the day of the piercing. It should be noted though that they prefer making an appointment before hand regardless of piercing, should anyone care. I spent a little time filling out form and meeting, for the first time, Tania, who I would get to know very well over the next hour. She said that she had been looking forward to doing piercing for the whole week, which obviously made me feel pretty darn good. I would have to say that I love Tania to itty bitty bits. She is truly awesome. So in we go to the piercing room, and I must say that it was not just clean, but it felt very welcoming...I don't know why. I disrobed and lied down on the table, all the while talking to Tania about nothing in general. I really could not believe how much time and effort she put into getting this piercing perfect. I really think there was, and I am not kidding you, about a half an hour of prep work. Tania kept me calm and my breathing regular this whole time, and when the time came to let the needle do it's thing, I still was calm. I was more nervous for my tongue piercing, to be honest. Even though I had read all the stories about the immense pain that one associates with a glands piercing, I don't think I realized how painful this was going to be. She pierced bottom up, and after it went through the part of my penis that a Prince Albert would be, and starting cutting through the glands, I just screamed. I remember feeling pain spread throughout my entire body straight from the tip of my penis. What is even worse is that it turns out I have very tough tissue in my glands, and it took three pushes to get the needle through. But really, I should have expected that with a 6ga needle. I think that the most brilliant thing though, was that they had the drawers full of piercing items at the end of the table I was on, and my legs had to be dangling off the table and right by the drawers. I honestly believe that if they did not have that there, I would have raised my knees an "\Ãw"ë d clocked Tania, I mean I felt like I was getting electrocuted from my dick. I thought I actually did hit Tania, but she assures me that I didn't.
Once she got the needle through, I just had to look. Seeing this huge needle through my head all covered in blood had to have been the coolest thing I have ever seen in my life. I asked Tania if we could take a quick little break to let me recover from the intensity of the piercing. She said yes, but that it would have to be quick, and it was. What she did after that was tighten the 6ga barbell onto a 8ga to 6ga taper, and in one quick (and still very painful) motion, the needle came out, the taper slid right through, and the barbell was in. My ordeal was over. She wrapped my little guy up with gauze and a non-lubricated condom, and I was good to go. Clearly, I tipped well, and I walked away with some sea-salt, some non-smelly, non-colored, non-everything liquid soap, some non-lubed condoms and some extra gauze. I had the funniest walk, too. I do not wear underwear, and I wear nothing buy denim, so I really wanted to be careful this time.
Just walking to the sky train was the greatest feeling. I know everyone mentions this, but I swear that once you are a member of the Metal in your Pants Club for the first time, that entire first day is pure joy just walking in crowds. What made it even better is I went to go have dinner with some of my relatives later that day. They know I like piercing, since I do have a lip ring and two tongue piercing, but I just could not stop thinking that I had metal in my pants!
Aftercare was uneventful. I soaked my little guy in sea salt soaks a couple of times a day for a little while, then I slowly tapered off of them. I never really used that soap, to be honest. I got the barbell changed down to what I think is an inch. I thought that would be too small, but Tania insisted that it would be good, and believe me, it is! It is just a bit snugger then what I thought would have been good, but that snugness, I find, is a lot better for Sex and "self loving sessions."
I have kept going back to Anatomic for everything I need, but sad to say, Tania has now moved on to a place which I believe is called World Class Tattoo on Main Street. All the best to her!
Not only do I love it, I find that most people are absolutely amazed that I have an Apadravya. Everyone I have shown it to has been shocked to see something like that. I guess I hang out with a lot of vanilla people. Everyone I have told share the same reaction of shock and intrigue. I don't regret a thing about it, though. It makes my little guy very happy, and I will always be happy for him.
