Well, let me preface by saying I haven't had a piercing of any kind since I had my ear pierced in high school 20 years ago. I ended up letting that grow over shortly after I got it. I have always had a sort of inquisitiveness about getting another piercing, especially when so many people I knew and went to college had something done. Tongue piercing was quite common. Anyway, since I am a professional engineer and I work in an office, wearing something exposed was not really an option for me. I could probably have gotten away with it but I thought it might affect my career with how the management might react to it.

Genital piercing was not on my list at first because it just seemed a little insane to be poking holes in my manhood. However, it was the perfect answer for a private piercing that would undetectable to all. It would be mine and my wives secret. Now she thought I was a little crazy but didn't push back on the idea too much, if that was something I wanted.

To make a long story short, I decided a shaft ampallang was what I wanted. It was scary to think about poking a hole thru the shaft of my penis. Hell, I had a difficult time finding a piercer to do it. I had been turned away at local Denver piercing shops several times, to the point I though I might have to do it myself. I did not want to do that. I actually tried at one point but I barely broke the skin and bled all over the friggin place. I was way to chicken to poke a hole in my own dick but it had grown into an obsession by that point. I needed to get it done.

Well, I joined the Bmezine site and looked around at some of the deep piercing photos they have. I found a short series of photos of a guy getting what appeared to be a shaft Apadravya at a place called Shrap Metal, in Colorado Springs. I looked up their address and found a Myspace profile dedicated to Shrap Metal. On that site, it was explained that the piercers that worked there were probably as good as could be found in the state of Colorado. They even had some medical background so I thought they were my best option. I was only an hour from there so I figured I'd give them a shot and see what they could do.

I decided to go up on Friday because it was an off day for me and my kids were in school. I figured I could go up and get it done and be home in time to pick them up. That is, if I actually got it done. I was a little nervous but determined to at least see if they were going to try to talk me out of it or send me away. I showed up at noon because I wanted to get in and out. I had no idea what to expect, whether I would bleed all over again or how much pain it was going to be. I wondered if they would want to numb the area first. When I got there, it seemed like there was quite a few people that showed up right away, as if I needed to wait in line with my schedule. Luckily, some folks were there for tattoos.

A couple guys had already filled out the medical release forms. These are always a little scary. If they maim you, it's your own damn fault you fool! I filled it out and even put it down what I wanted. When Mike the piercer got there, he was all business, quickly addressing the other two guys and asking for my paperwork. My heart sank when he asked them what they wanted pierced. One guy said he wanted his tongue pierced and I think the other wanted his ear stretched or something...Holy crap! I've got to announce to everyone in the room that I want my dick pierced. Great! That'll go over well. Then he said, "John! You I've got to have a talk with". Whew! Writing it down paid off. He was very smooth to not just blurt out, "So you want you dick pierced eh!" Although, his tone suggested he had reservations, which I expected.

I sat outside his little piercing parlor waiting on the other guys to finish. I paced and pretended to look into the display case of piercing jewelry. Then, he called me in. He actually closed the door behind and pulled down the shade. Apparently, he was willing and able to do the piercing. We talked for a few minutes about what exactly I wanted done and he assured me my "junk" would still work afterward but it would take a while to heal and it was going to hurt like a mother. I was ok with the hurt as long as my junk remained operational. I didn't want to end up with a "dead head". My chosen placement was thru the shaft right behind the head. It went fairly quickly because while he was talking to me he was getting all his equipment ready so it's like I didn't have much time to rethink this or back out. It was pretty much finding the right spot, asking me if I was sure about this and saying let's do it. I asked how long will it take. He said, "I'm just going to punch it right thru so maybe a second or two." Then, I saw the needle right next to my dick. He pushed forward and a let out a "whew". It had hurt like a mother alright but it was over really quickly. Then he slid the jewelry on and said I was done. I looked and holy shit, I had a barbell thru my dick. It was right where I wanted it, thru the shaft behind the head.

We talked a bit and Mike even said, "You are a bad ass mother fucker". He said the last guy he pierced similarly, nearly went thru the ceiling. I had just let out a brief "whew!"

It was weird because I didn't really feel any pain afterward but more like a slight heat around the exit side of the needle. I shook Mike's hand and thanked him then got in my car and drove back home. I could feel a slight burning all the way back home but no pain whatsoever. Hell, I didn't even bleed!

I have to say, I think I have a man crush on Mike now. After all he handled my junk! But seriously, he did a great job and I would highly recommend Shrap Metal to anyone living in the Front Range of the Rocky Mountains. They are the utmost professionals and they know their trade well. This story is somewhat incomplete because this all happened only a few hours ago. I still have a lot of healing to do but right now, I don't even feel the piercing. I just need to make sure I do exactly as instructed. I'll try to fill out the story when I have more info...
