At A Glance Author Ranger Contact ldranger69@yahoo.com When A week ago Studio 23rd St. Body Piercing Location Oklahoma City, OK USA Greetings unto you. I decided to get a piercing at least once a year. The first thing I did was my left eyebrow. Then last year I slacked off and didn't get anything. But this year, I'm back on track. What do I want? What could I do that no one else in my circle of friends already has? I slowly began to realize that, not a single person mentioned a penis piercing of any kind. That's it! That's what I'll do! I'll get a piercing down 'there'! *slap* "What the Hell am I sayin'??!!" After a couple of stiff drinks, I came to understand the full capacity of what I wanted to do and why people wanted to know what was wrong with me. There's nothing really wrong with me, I just wanted something that no one else had. I think I've got the upper hand on this one. It all started when I was surfing on-line. I tried to find tattoo and piercing sites, but I wasn't very successful at first. Then I found a link from a tattoo site, it said, 'BME'. I didn't know what it was, so I clicked on it . The link transported me to a magical place. I found wonderous things that I had no idea existed. I was truly overwhelmed. The gifts(thumbnails) presented to me, were no less valuable than gold. I used the site as a guide book. I found the section on the "Frenum" piercing. Without knowing it, I knew straight away, that's what I want! I spent the next couple of weeks trying to wrap my mind around this thing that wanted to do. The more I thought about it, the more I wanted to do it.
I went to the place where I was going to have it done, asked a few questions on how it was done, what the after care was like and how much was it going to cost me. All of which sounded very reasonable to me. "So, do you want to fill out the papers now?" The words, "No, thank you", flew out of my mouth. I left the store in a big hurry and, sadly, without my piercing. The following week was different. I had asked a friend of mine tag along. He said he would go with me and maybe even get something for himself. But as as people will do, he claims he forgot his ID and where we live, you can't get any kind of piercing without some form of identification. I found out later, he forgot his ID on purpose. After the feelings of total rage went away, I filled out the paperwork and had a moment to myself. I never asked, "Do you think I should?", or "What are other people gonna think?" I came to relize, I did want to do this. I'm here because I want this.
We were taken to a room in the back of the store. I knew what expect because this was the same place I had my eyebrow done. My friend, on the other hand, was more than just a bit nervous. I had asked him to come along for moral support. He said that he was touched by my request and that he would be honoured to be there for me. He said, "It's a very personal thing that you asked me to be a part of and I thank you for considering me such a close friend." I have the coolest friends.
The piercing artist had me lay down on the table and take a moment to be sure this is what I wanted. I went to the bathroom. I looked at the person in the mirror to make sure I wasn't crazy. When I went back to the piercing room, they looked surprised to see me. "We thought you left." We all had a bit of a laugh over it. I hopped back onto the table and removed my pants to my ankles. Let me just say, it was cold in that room. And it looked like it was cold in that room. I took several deep breaths. My friend took my hand and said that I'd be alright. Breath in, 1-2-3, breath out(stick). "There, that wasn't so bad, was it?" I asked my friend how it looked. He said he didn't watch the actual piercing. He looked down at my new piercing and then back at me, I thought he was gonna cry. "it looks fine", he said. I was surprised. It didn't hurt nearly as much as I thought it would. As a matter of fact, it was fairly painless. It's doesn't really hurt at all. At best, it's like a mo squito bite. A bit annoying but not unpleasent. I felt fine afterward. My friend and I went shopping. From time to time, he would ask if I was alright. I said, "Yes". There was very little bleeding.
Although my piercing was a good expirience for me, I cannot recomend it for anyone. Not all piercings are for everybody. The only way you can know if a certain piercing is right for you, is to walk into a piercing salon. If it doesn't feel right, don't do it. I plan on getting something next year. I don't know what it's gonna be but you can be sure that next time, I'll be sure we all have our ID's on us.
