At A Glance Author Hef Contact Hef@bme.anon When A week ago Artist Jeff Studio Skin Craft Location Cincinnati, OH I am 18 years old and pretty conservative. My father was raised strict Catholic which left me no room for 'messing up my life'. Around the age of 14 I went threw the 'dyed hair' phase and self pierced both my ears (OH MAN!). My Mother and Father were divorced so I dint have to see my Father much. But, the next time I saw him my life flashed before my eyes and that was the end of my 'outrageous' years...until today.
Recently I have been contemplating a male piercing. I narrowed it down between a frenum or 2 dydose. Due to the lack of flowing fundage I picked the frenum. So the next step was to find a piercing parlor to get it done at. Actually how I picked SKINCRAFT over other local piercing parlors was by a BME story I read which mentioned SKINCRAFT and spoke very highly of their staff. So it was set, on to the next step.
I picked the Friday after exams to have it done. Friday morning I woke up early and called my girlfriend to see if she was ready to go with me. The drive downtown was fairly short and traffic was not bad. When we arrived I was so excited I felt so 'bouncy'. I walked into the parlor and to my surprise it was very optically pleasing. I walked up to the counter and started talking to an employee about frenums. As my questions increased in specificity another employee named Jeff walked over.
I asked him about getting it done on the top of the penis rather than the bottom. He explained that during sexual intercourse, if it were on the top, it would rub on the pelvic bone. Eventually causing extreme pain and possible frenum rejection. During this conversation he kept directing his attention to my girlfriend, which I later learned made her feel somewhat uncomfortable.
After the majority of the questions had passed he went threw the specifics. He talked about the risks and responsibilities. He told me it would cost $55 and made sure I understood the procedure. He then continued to ask me what kind of jewelry I wanted. He showed me the five-eighths inch stainless steel bar he would be using and preceded to show me a large variety of balls I could attach to my steel shaft. I decided to pick 2 hematite balls. Now back to the room.
On our way back to the room my girlfriend and I noticed all the neat gear they had laying around. The wall art looked very original and there were tattoo booths and shelves of supplies. All of the decorations fit and made a very delightful atmosphere for getting a piercing.
In the room Jeff my girlfriend and I made small talk while he cleaned the room and readied the supplies. I paid close attention to the process of getting the supplies and the room clean. Jeff was very talkative and glad to answer any questions. He told me to sit on the table as he set all of the tools necessary on a cart and wheeled them over. I was very excited and anxious to get my new piercing.
When Jeff asked me to take off my pants I was unsure of exactly what to do. I dint think that they needed to be completely off to whip it out enough. So, I asked. I only put my pants down around my thighs and just poked my penis out the hole provided in my boxers. At this point I was getting a bit nervous and a bit embarrassed. It seems that my penis was not fond of getting pierced, or being touched by a man, so it tried to hide. I was assuming that since Jeff had done the procedure before he understands that it hides and would give me the benefit of the doubt that was not the actual size. Now it is time for the real deal.
I laid back and Jeff measured and marked me. This process took about 5 minutes then I reviewed his work and was satisfied with the results. During the measuring my girlfriend asked Jeff if he had any genital piercing, which he did, he had a PA, an ampallang, and a scrotal. At first I was surprised to hear this but then I wondered why I was, I almost expected it. She did not understand what an ampallang was so Jeff proceeded to show her using a q-tip and holding it against my penis in the proper position. I believe after she saw this she said something along the lines of 'gross' which I thought was insulting to Jeff but he dint seem to mind. When Jeff picked up the clamps I realized that this is really happening and my heart started to pound, I was so full of adrenalin.
I laid back and dint look at what Jeff was doing. He told me to tell him if he clamped to hard or there was any discomfort. I was not watching this process it seemed like forever. Time was moving by so slowly until I looked up and saw him holding the needle against my penis. He said, "take a deep breath" which I did then WHAM! About .25 seconds of pain then I wondered if he had really done it. I looked down to see him sliding the jewelry threw then he did a final cleansing. That was it he told me to put it away and I was done.
While I carefully put things back in their places I watched Jeff re-clean the entire room. He cleaned before and after every piercing which seemed to me like a very cleanly way of dealing with things. We all proceeded to the front counter where I paid my $55 handed him a $6 tip in $2 bills and shook his hand. He made a joke about that he would see me again very shortly I smiled and left.
On my way back to the car I still had the adrenalin build up so I was extra bouncy. On the drive home I whipped it out and looked at it. My new and improved penis looked so great. It has been about two days since I got it done and things are going fine. There is no bleeding, I clean it twice a day, and look at it ten. I am very glad I finally after about two years of thinking about it got it done. My frenum is my new favorite addition to my life. I am looking forward in six to eight weeks to see how it feels sexually!
