I'm sooooo glad I got it done.... |
| ||||||||||||||||
Well, my frenum piercing experience started a long long time ago when I first fell in love with the idea. I’ve always wanted one, but it wasn’t the first piercing that I got done. I’m glad about that, because the experience of taking care of and also cleaning a new piercing was helpful.Anyway, I arranged to go into Dublin City Centre with a friend on the day in question, because I really wanted the company. We met up in a groovy little tappas bar/café called @home and gorged ourselves on coffee and food while we discussed where we would go first (she was thinking of getting a tattoo, so I said that I’d bring her to the place I got mine, so she could look at some different designs there, before she got it done.). We ended up going to the tattoo parlour first and the to Adonis.
Adonis is a really great studio. Glenn, the artist there is a master at what he does, and is really friendly. He got recommended to me by a member of the Jim Rose circus (a cool travelling freak show that was in Dublin for a while this month) , and in turn, I’d recommend him to anyone else. He’s great.
He took me and my friend Aisling inside. He started by showing me pictures of different piercing, how it would look with a ring or a bar ( I chose the bar ). He asked me did I want a mild anaesthetic to ease the pain ( after thinking about it, I said yes), did I have any medical conditions or was I on medication. I answered no (to both questions). Then he said "assume the position please" , i.e. "drop your pants".
He took out a weird syringe for the anaesthetic, one that wasn’t for injecting under the skin, and then started to pour some of the anaesthetic down the shaft of my penis. It was an alcohol based solution, so it burned just a little. He spread some on the skin that he was going to pierce, and told me it would take a couple of minutes to start working fully. While we waited we chatted, and he warned me about what I could and couldn’t do while it was healing. Then he explained the healing time, how to wash it ("get a cup full of water, pour in some salt, and stick your dick into it") and that if it started to swell, that I was to come straight back into him and he’d give me some anti-inflammatory medication for it. By this stage, I was numb, so I asked him was he ready to start. He put on some surgical gloves, got out a fresh needle, and swabbed me with disinfectant. I was really looking forward to this because I hadn’t actually got to see my last piercing, because it was in my lip. He took the needle, put it through, and then broke off about one inch of it. Then he slid the bar through the centre of the needle, then pulled out the needle itself. Then he took the ball and screwed it on to the other end. It was the coolest thing ever. Aisling just sat there giggling. We chatted for a bit after about my tattoo which he noticed when I dropped my trousers, because its just low enough to be covered by my boxer shorts. It was cool, because he identified that it had been done by a friend of his, Johnny Eagle, just by looking at it. Then I paid (it was great value at only £25 but I left him a tip as well), and left, happier by roughly, hmmm, one bar through my penis.
The healing process was short and sweet, with no problems whatsoever. I washed it in salt water for two weeks exactly, which was four days longer than Glenn told me, but it was just out of paranoia. I was worried when I cleaned it for the first time because there was a touch of blood in the water, but the bleeding stopped after about an hour.
The only bad point about the peircing is that for the first two weeks I couldn’t have sex, but I can now, so its cool. Also, all of my male friends (bar one, who after seeing mine, went out and got his foreskin pierced as he had always wanted. But his is a slightly sadder story than mine, as the piercing got caught on a zipper, and ripped, and he had to take it out and get stitches put in instead) spent the same two weeks going "Oh my God, how could you get a needle through your dick!?!?!?!?!", but I expected this because they aren’t as into piercings as I am.
But still, my boyfriend loves it, I love it, and I’m already thinking about what I would like to have pierced next. Maybe my nipples…
