This Sunday morning I went to Progressive Piercing in Chicago, Illinois. Progressive Piercing is run by Scott Jania and is one of the two licensed studios in the city of Chicago. What else could I do with an entire Sunday anyway right? I usually sit there in Progressive, people watch, and talk to Scott and the rest of the Alley kids. So today started off as usual, I sat down in my spot in the window and chilled as people walked in and out.
At A Glance Author forward to eden Contact xforwardtoedenx@hotmail.com Artist Scott Jania Studio Progressive Piercing Location Chicago, Illinois After a while Scott brought up the idea of piercing my dydoes. He said that if I wanted to, he would pierce them at the end of the day. Well of course how could I say no? I have always thought dydoes look fucking awesome, I have wanted new piercings for a while, and this would be a perfect chance for me to get used to the feeling of having my glans pierced before I get my apadravya.
So I sit there all day talking and watching people and doing little stuff. My usual routine. I love sitting and watching people. The idea that I am about to be getting my penis pierced has not hit me yet. Anyway, so 6:05pm comes and Scott decides to take his lunch break. We put on our coats and walk down to Jimmy John's subs and eat and talk.
We come back from eating and nobody is standing around waiting to be pierced so we go into the piercing room. Scott unloads the autoclave and I relieve myself. I'm quite nervous so I walk into the room to make small talk with Scott. We talk about the piercing a little. Scott has to use the bathroom and Jordan shows up to talk to Scott for a moment. Leanne also gives me a much-needed back rub. She really helped me relax and I appreciate that a LOT. I am feeling a lot calmer now and doing my breathing routine so that I can calm down.
Scott finishes talking to Jordan and we go back in the piercing room. Scott gets out the needles and jewelry, which I do not even look at. I am preoccupied with breathing and keeping myself calm. I am shaking a little bit from the excitement. Not a bad shaking however. Just the normal "I'm about to get two large chunks of steel shoved through the tip of my penis" shaky feeling.
I drop my pants and Scott measures my penis to make sure everything will fit well. He motions me to sit down on the table and I do. Scott marks away for about fifteen or twenty minutes and I lay on my back breathing in and out, in and out, in and out. Finally Scott finishes marking and shows me what's up. The marks look awesome. I am super excited to get poked.
I lay down on my back and Scott preps the needles and the tapers he will use to insert my internally threaded 10g barbells. The piercing will be done at 12g and stretched to 10g so that I will not bleed much. I'm not a hemophiliac but I still bleed a lot. I keep telling myself that the piercing will be over soon and it will be completely worth it once I am done. So many people have done this before and if they can get through it I will be able to also.
Scott puts on his favorite track to pierce to and we near the piercing. I am breathing deeply and slowly and preparing myself. My adrenaline is going at about a million miles a second. Scott puts the needle up to my penis and tells me to take a deep breath and then let it out. I take a deep breath and say "hang on, I'm not ready." Scott tells me it's fine and that as soon as I am ready we can do it. I wait a minute, center myself with some deep breaths, and tell him I am ready. Scott lines up the needle and tells me to take a deep breath and then exhale. I take the deepest breath my lungs will hold, grit my teeth, and let it out.
I feel the needle pushing through the head of my penis. It hurts. A lot. After what seems like a minute Scott tells me the needle is through. It only took four seconds from tip of needle in to tip of needle out. I give this one eight out of ten possible pain points. I am elated that it is through and I am done. Nothing could be better than having that be over with. It is not over however. I have to do the stretching and jewelry insert on this side.
I tell him I am ready for the stretch and grit my teeth. He tells me to take a deep breath and let it out. I do and he pushes the taper in and then the jewelry. Scott screws on the ball and tightens them down. It hurts but at least I'm done with this side. The other side still has to be done. For a second I consider telling Scott I do not want to do the other side done. That would look stupid though. How could I have just half a dydoe project done? Not to mention the fact that now the left side of my penis is hurting. I need something on the right side to balance the pain out.
Whenever I am ready Scott tells me I can swing around so my head is facing the other direction and he can do the other piercing. I swing around and lay back down. I start my breathing again. Scott lines up the piercing and tells me to take a deep breath in. I suck the air deep into my lungs and push it out through gritted teeth.
This piercing does not hurt as badly as the first time. I know what to expect and this side goes through faster than the first side. It still hurts and I give it six out of ten possible pain points. Scott immediately puts the taper to the end of the needle and tells me to take a deep breath and let it out. I do and he tapers my hole to 10g and inserts the jewelry. Again, tapering hurts but I get through it. Scott screws the balls on the jewelry and it's done.
Scott says that as soon as I am ready I can sit up and take a look and that the piercing is dead on. I gingerly sit up with my penis throbbing and hurting. It looks awesome. Better than I could have ever imagined. I do not know why there are not more super mega dydoes out there. These things are so cool. My frenum plus dydoes look completely awesome. Scott tells me that the pain will start to go away as soon as I get home to do sea salt soaks. He gives me a cup of saline solution for me to soak the piercings in for the moment. The saline is cold but makes me feel a lot better. Less than a drop of blood seeps out the holes and into the cup. I put on a latex glove and a rubber band to hold it on to my penis so I don't go dripping blood all the way back to the dorm.
Jason and his wife are sitting outside and come ask me how it was. I tell them it was painful but definitely worth it. Since the registers at the Alley are closed I will pay tomorrow. I get my stuff and Scott gives me a care package of gloves and rubber bands to contain any bleeding that may happen. I gingerly walk to the train and then back to the dorm. Walking hurts a little bit. I will manage.
In conclusion I would like to thank Scott for doing this awesome procedure on me and doing such a great job on it. I would also like to thank Leanne for giving me the back rub, which calmed my nerves immensely. I love my new super mega dydoes and I would go through twice the pain to get them again. They look perfect with my frenum. I will get pictures as soon as it is healed.
