So I'd been thinking about it for a long time. Piercings had always been some sort of a fetish of mine, but I'd never had the guts to actually get something pierced. At my 16th birthday, in April, I had gone to a studio with a couple of my friends and we all wanted to get our nipples pierced, but I chickened out after my friends chickened out too. I was kind of bummed but it was ok, since I knew I would be back some day.

I figured I was broke, horney, gutsy and recovering from a good joint I had smoked that afternoon, so the time had come for me to be stupid. I decided to pierce my own foreskin.
I figured I needed some hardware. My sister (who had moved out by then) had gotten her navel pierced, so I figured I could find something in her room that I could use. Of course - I found a barbell she hadn't even taken out of its bag yet. It was plain silver with black beads at the ends. I thought it looked cool and actually pretty masculine, so I took it and went to my room.
Once in my room, I wondered what I could use to pierce myself. I couldn't find a needle, and I didn't want to go out of my room in case my parents got suspicious, so I just kept on looking for something sharp. After a while I found a safety pin in one of my drawers. Although my head wasn't exactly as clear as it could be, I realized it wasn't very clean to just use any old safety pin for a job like this, so I got some peroxyde from my bathroom (so much for not being suspicious!) and dipped the safety pin in it for about fifteen to twenty minutes.
After my parents had gone to bed, I crept downstairs and put a few ice cubes in a cup. I ran back to my room and stuck the cubes on my stretched foreskin, half-laughing to myself, wondering if I would actually do it. I took out a safety pin I'd left in peroxyde to disinfect it, and tried poking at the frozen foreskin.
Now I know, this was really dangerous. Anything could have gone wrong, infections galore, losing my fertility or something, I don't know... but I guess I had gone delirious by that point.
After a while, I saw the other end of the safety pin glistening on the other side of my foreskin. I had my first piercing! ...I had done it myself, and it wasn't the usual first piercing either!
And then I stuck in a barbell my sister had (from her navel piercing), took the safety pin out, and admired my work in the huge mirror on my bedroom wall.
It looked surprisingly good, although it was a bit crooked and the barbell was, well, a barbell. I personnaly prefer rings on foreskins - or anywhere except the face - but it wasn't so bad. After all, I was proud of my first piercing!
I went to bed - lying on my back, of course - and tried to sleep.
After maybe half an hour, I felt like the tip of my foreskin was on fire... But I figured it was normal, took an advil, and actually slept a good night's sleep.
As I woke up to go to school the next morning, the pain wasn't that bad. It was just red. And by "red", I mean RED. There was a bit of puss forming around the barbell, and once again I figured it was normal. I took a shower - the most painful shower I ever had - got dressed and went to school.
But walking to school was too much to bear. I had to walk like a penguin so that my foreskin wouldn't run against anything and it was just pathetic... I tried to take my mind off the pain and wondered which one of my friends would be the first one to see my piercing. Or would I even show anyone? Would it be just for my own personnal satisfaction?
And by that time I had come back to my senses and realized how stupid it was to pierce myself without the proper equipment or training, as well as what I had pierced... Kind of dangerous due to the circumstances.
As soon as I got to school, I headed straight for the restrooms. I "took a piss" and discovered that puss was... Oh god, there was a lot of puss. So I just took the barbell out, washed myself (thankfully I was alone) and went to class.
And that was the end of that.
Foreskin piercings are awesome - they look really cool. Just don't do it yourself, it's really not worth it!
