I had already had my PA done for just over a year (done by Murray as well) and various other piercing (nipple, tongue web etc.), when a time came that I wasn't happy with what I had, I wanted more, so I talked it over with my girlfriend, we looked at some photos and decided on a pair of dydoes.
At A Glance Author NZ Metal Contact NZ Metal@bme.anon Artist Murray Studio Steamboat Willie Location Hamilton New Zealand Like I said, ive had my PA for over a year, so I wasn't too worried about having a needle put through my nether regions, I was just looking forward to getting more "additions", but still my girlfriend didn't want to come along and watch the process.
Murray can be a hard person to get hold of, so during a conversation with him about reverse PA's and apadravyas, I got his mobile phone number off him. It was no surprise to me that he wasn't at his studio when I called in, so I gave him a ring. The conversation went like this:
"Hey man, wanna do a piercing"
"Umm, maybe, what are you thinking of"
"I want 2 dydoes, can you do that"
"Maybe"
"Uh, ok, why maybe"
"Because I don't do that anymore"
"What, genital piercing"
"No, just piercing in general"
It turns out he'd had a fight with the owners of his building, and didn't want to go through the hassle of it, so just gave up piercing altogether???? He said that we could do it anyway, but only because he considered me a "client". So I made an appointment for a week away, and started to get excited.
Saturday rolled around and I met Murray outside his shop, it was raining and cold, so we didn't sit around talking for too long. Thankfully, he'd just had his autoclave on, so his studio was relatively warm, I didn't fancy ripping my pants off in the cold. We started talking, he told me the basic procedure, nothing I didn't know or hadn't heard before, and we talked about what had happened with his studio and him giving up piercing. He said that mine was the last piercing he was "obliged" to do, and after that he would only do it for friends or people who wouldn't go anywhere else, you know how it is with piercers, its like hairdressers, you find one you like, and you stick with them.
He got my to lie back on the table while he got everything ready, he asked me where I'd like them to go, and I showed him where my girlfriend and had planned them. He explained the fact that he was going to put them on a 15-degree angle because they looked better that way, I agreed and he carried on with the markings.
When he'd finished the markings he showed me what they were going to look like, and I couldn't wait. I can't remember what we talked about during this time; all I remember is being on a buzz of excitement. Murray explained to me that he hadn't done dydoes before, so he was looking forward to the pierce as well, apparently he'd tried to do his own, but they grew out. This didn't make me nervous, because he had never done a tongue web before he did mine, and ive had that for nearly 10 months.
Because he'd never done one before, he didn't know what was going to happen, so he said that if I couldn't go through with the second one after the first, that that was sweet and he'd just finish the job in a couple of weeks.
He was also using different jewelry. They were two 14mm plastic barbell that you could bend into any shape. He said these would work better because during healing, the crusties wouldn't stick to the jewelry and because plastic was more inert than metal, the likelihood of infection was far less.
Well, the time had come, all the talk had stopped, and it was down to business. He gave me the usual: 3 breaths and on the second, hold it and ill pierce while you blow the third out. WOW, what a feeling. I actually felt the needle going right through and out the other side. That was the only discomfort, and I say discomfort because it wasn't pain, and after the needle was through, I could feel anything. I lay back on the table and actually felt myself lift up and hover just below the ceiling; you have no idea what a great feeling it was. It was like when you're tired, and you close your eyes to go to sleep and you can feel the room move around you, absolutely amazing.
How was that? Asked Murray after I came back down to earth. "Fucking great," I said, and it was. "So you want the next one?" "As fast as you like", I explained. The second one went a little different. He got me to breathe by myself, which meant that I had control of the pierce. On the third breath I held, and breathed out, I was on such a high from the first dydoe, all I felt from the second has pressure. He hit something a little harder to get the needle through, so he slowed down for the pierce, which I noticed. Again, the feeling washed over me. Boy was that great.
I lay back for a while because I had fainted when I got my nipple done, and I didn't want to embarrass myself again. I got a little light headed, but nothing a cold glass of water couldn't fix.
I paid for my piercings and walked outside with that adrenaline rush you only get from a piercing. Murray had said that they would heal within 3-5 weeks, but that I could have sex the next day if I wanted to.
Well, it's now 3 weeks since my dydoe experience, and they have completely healed. It bled for a week exactly, not as much blood as with a PA, but enough to remind you that it's there and its healing, but there was never any pain or discomfort. I didn't have sex the next day, but I did about 4 days afterwards. It didn't really hurt, mind you, I don't think I lasted very long anyway.
I thoroughly recommend this pierce to anyone, especially if you already have a PA, because it looks fucken great and it feels even better. There is very little discomfort, and it's not intrusive to anything. The only downside I found was that it can be difficult to get a condom on, and even a little painful if you're using it within a week.
