Now I am 35 years old and this is my first piercing experience. I know this seems pretty old to experience my first, but it took me a long time to be comfortable with myself and do what I really wanted in life.
At A Glance Author michelobman When It just happened Artist James Watlington Studio Urban XChange Location Newport News VA Last year I left my wife and moved in with someone I was really in love with. She had a wild side and had four tatoos, a belly button and tounge piercing. She was 27 and I was 34 at the time. We met through the internet and by some rare chance we ended up being true soul mates. I had always been reserved and kept my wild side to myself and always had to be some one I really wasn't. Around her I could be myself and it really felt great. She was not reserved at all, but she couldn't really be herself either. Around me she could too.
I had always wanted a tatoo. I had wanted a lizzard on my right lower leg for quite some time. Well last year I went ahead and did it. My girlfriend went with me, of course, and she also got a tatoo of my name on her back. Man if this wasn't serious I don't know what is.
Well anyway, we had been talking about her getting her eyebrow pierced for a long time so in April 2002 we went out to eat in Virginia Beach and went to a local shop and had it done. I went out of town at the end of May for a few days and I came back and she had pierced both of her nipples. We had also been talking about this for a long time too and I had told her that it was something that really would turn me on and God did it!
For some reason I had decided to enter the realm of piercing. I had wanted to pierce my ear for a long time but with the type of job I have, it would not be acceptable. So I decided that I wanted a PA piercing. Holy crap! What a way to enter the realm of piercees. By sticking the first needle in my penis. I had made up my mind though and there was no stopping me. After a lot of research on the internet I decided and she decided that a reverse PA would be more satisfying to both partners during sex. I then made up my mind to get the reverse PA and one nipple done.
She had told me about the place she had her nipples pierced and it was a very clean, private and respectable place. So one day we went in to the shop and I told them what I wanted and the guy at the counter talked me into getting both nipples pierced too because the second was half price. About this time I met the piercer James who had a number of piercings and tatoos. I told him what I wanted and why and he suggested that I get the Frenum piercing instead because it had less healing time and was much more effective for both partners during sex. This was a lot different than the information I got on the internet. He was very professional and had 8 years of piercing experience. He also told me that he had done several Frenum piercings including some to himself. He changed my mind right there and then.
So all of the forms being out of the way, I was ready. I asked him if I had time to go outside and smoke and he said yes. My girlfriend was more nervous than I was so she needed a smoke also. I came back in and went into the room. James asked if I wanted to close the door with a laugh and I said definitely. He asked me twice which piercing I wanted first and of course I chose the Frenum because I thought it would be the most painful and I wanted to get that one over with. He got some things ready and then asked me if I was ready. I told him yes and took off my shorts and sat on the Dentist-like chair and tried to relax. He marked where he wanted the piercing, which I am sure was hard because between the nervousnes and the cold I was shriveled up smaller than I have ever been....lol He then placed the clamp on and I was ready. He told me to take a deep breath and hold it on three. Just before three I could feel a slight pinch on the one side and on three, when I to ok a deep breath, he finished pushing the needle through. It didn't hurt hardly at all! It was just a slight pinch and it was done. He then told me he was pushing the jewlery through which was a 14guage 5/8" barbell. This hurt a little, even more than the piercing, but not very bad at all. I was in shock because I was expecting extreme pain with this piercing but it didn't hurt hardly at all.
He then told me I was done and I could put my shorts back on. He then told me he was ready to do the nipples so I took off my shirt and he marked where the holes would be. He then had me lay back down in the chair. He put the clamp on my right nipple and again told me to take a deep breath on three. He counted, and when he got to two I could feel the needle on one side and on three, when I took a deep breath, he pushed it the rest of the way through. This one really hurt! Much more than the Frenum. He then put the CBR through and it was over. He did the same for the left nipple and it did not hurt nearly as bad as the right but still more than the Frenum.
After the piercing was over I could not even feel the Frenum at all but the nipples were a little sore. This is still true and it has been two days. I am really satisfied with all the piercings and would definitely do it again. James was very professional and I felt very comfortable having him do the piercing. He normally works at the Virginia Beach location but I am really glad he was there that day.
I would reccomend a Frenum to anyone who wants one but is afraid of the pain involved. The Nipples were much more painful! I just can't wait to try out the new piercing with my girlfriend!
