Hello all,

I have always been fascinated with strange contemporary artwork and especially body art, Fetishes and strange fantasies. I guess this is why I am becoming a contemporary artist of the highest order (or so they say at university). I enjoy the strange and the hidden I, in my artwork like to shock the on looker (I mean why not!). I have a large sculpture in the West Australian State art Gallery which is representative of my piecings and my feelings surrounding them. The sculpture is of a huge steel ball about six feet tall and wide with a huge spike running through its center while on the outside smaller spines project out into the onlookers face (not hitting them of course).

It is the most beautiful representation or the sheer sweet bliss, which washed over me after receiving my first, my second and my third piecing in my foreskin and scrotum. It was as if as the needle went through followed closely by the jewelry I was making a hole in which something from deep within me could jump out and dance around the stud and the pink flesh. I loved this so much but to other people I can't just show them my genitals, it may be little too confronting, ileagal etc so I showed it in a sculpture rather then flashing my genitals. (But Ill get some pix one day soon for those interested).

I did not want a facial piecing everyone has them all the guys in my class have the eyebrow nose and nipple rings (the punk thing ya know). I guess I wanted something so much more personal something only my closest companions and I could experience. Therefore, in the comfort of a hot shower and the blessed tip of a fat safety pin I pieced my foreskin. My first of three piecings. It was bliss, the feeling I previously described washed over me like a truck in flowing beats like the dance music I so love to listen to or was it my heart rate Im not sure. With glee and clenched teeth, I inserted a classy stud and I strode off with a grin and a stiff sort of a walk.

The pain stopped in a day or two and I could touch and manipulate the stud within 3 days no problems. It has now healed and (if I must say so) looks damn class. Its rather a deep stud and the ridge that runs over it is firm and was not sore to touch at all within a week. There was no infection and very little redness or swelling which everyone caries on about.

My second piecing at the base of my penis and top of my balls was the source of even more delight. Piecing the base of my penis or the top of my balls (I'm not sure) with the same big fat safety pin only 1 week after the first one in the same shower was even more fun than before. I inserted a nice silver ring and with that similar rush like that of the first experience I new I was hooked and I then came across the idea for the sculpture sort of an out of body experience.

I now want to stretch the hole so I can fit a bigger stud or even a padlock maybe just for effect for some reason I do not yet know. This one thankfully healed quicker than the first although it hurt allot more when I put it in. Within 2 days, I could turn it freely even hang a set of car keys off the ring without too many problems at all.

Now for my third but probably not final scrotal piecing at the back of my balls. I sat in the shower once more gritting my teeth and slipped the needle through the flesh with that rush only us holed (people with piecings) people understand. I can now connect the two scrotal rings with a small chain or locket it looks kinky but gets caught now and then. Sorter makes me stop and wiggle a bit but its cools. It gets a little sore at times but has healed relatively well.

I now can connect using chain, my two piecings to hold a large padlock with the keys of up to five house doors, three cars and the padlock keys.As ya do.

I love my piecings they really satisfy. I'm not sure what Ill piece next maybe even try a pocket. But I know that without some sort of art, desire, even fetish the world is a whole lot more sad and allot more stressful. So Without further ado I bid yea all fare well and ask you to go do something mad you'll feel a HOLE lot better after wards you'll even like your Boss!

Have fun all you holed crew. Love from Benno, Addictive Expressions. P.S. Body piecing fetishes and art is what you make of it so "embrace the madness".
