I've never been really big on piercing or body mods, other than tattoos, I have nine... I was in Iraq in 2003, taking a shower in the outdoor field showers, and saw this bright reflection of the sun coming from the area of another mans penis, took a quick look, and was amazed! So ever since I first discovered what a frenum ladder was I have wanted to get it done. Then I met a girl who didn't want me to do it and ended up getting married to her... We separated (permanently) about five months ago, and I didn't really think about the piercing at all, until a few weeks ago while drinking with a friend. He brought it up because he wants to have it done... And I then decided that I was defiantly going to do the deed.
At A Glance Author Derek Contact Derek@bme.anon When It just happened Artist I did it! Studio My place Location Oceanside, Ca So the next day, I read a few stories on this site written by guys who had done their own (I don't think I'd trust someone else with a big needle near my goods!). I wrote a good list of the Items I would need, goes like this:
Neosporin
Sponge forceps
Hydrogen Peroxide
Gauze
Medical tape
14g needle
Fine tip marker
Ruler
Barbells(3)
And on the third day, I went to Ebay, and saw that it was good... Anyway, I ordered a package of (5) 14gauge needles, sponge forceps, and a set of three barbells. The barbells were difficult to find, because I wanted to make sure I got something long enough to still be comfortable whenever I get aroused, but not so long that they still stick out a quarter inch. After a good little while of searching I came across some interesting barbells... flexible! They are specifically made for surface piercings, so they flex to conform for comfort, and they can be cut to a preferred length, then just screw on the ball and it threads the bar! And so I purchased these items. The final items arrived in the mail today, and the other items on the list I got at the store the other day.
Time to prepare. I've never seen this done so I was a bit nervous. Plus I've got some dude running around my house to fix my internet, and he keeps bugging me. From time to time I had a sudden quick breath attack me out of nowhere as I was setting up my torture area, yeah I'm not a fan of pain. I positioned my comfy sofa chair in front of a table and laid everything out, sanitized the area, and then took a good shower. Go time.
So in the stories I had read previously the guys all said that they barley noticed the first piercing, then the second and third and so on were just a little pain. Yeah, I'd like to know where they got the needles from. I did three. I marked the entry and exit wounds, then clamped the forceps on (I had to bend em a little first so it didn't hurt!) I Applied Neosporin to the skin and needle for a little lubrication and of course cleanliness. I line up the needle with the markings, and push... OOOOW! Holy crap this hurts! And the damn thing is only through one layer of skin! I'm tryin to do this quickly, but the dern needle just doesn't want to! So after about 5 seconds of pushing and pain, the needle is through, with only a ¼ inch left. I line up the barbell with the end of the needle, and finish pushing it through with the bar, and thank God the bar just went right through after the needle. Thread the ball on, take a pic, and BAM! I have one frenum piercing! Now, I'm not a squeamish person, but seven years ago when I got my ear pierced, I played with it to much and got all light headed and almost past out, so I assumed I would get really close to passing out after ramming a needle through my joystick, that's why I'm doing this from the comfort of my sofa chair. But no, no lightheadedness, nada.
Ok time for number two. Clamps. Neosporin. Needle. Needle. Needle NEEDLE!!!!!! It took me at least ten seconds to get just the pointy part through! If someone is reading this, and planning to do this as well, make damn sure you get sharp needles, because I really don't think its supposed to hurt this much!
Number three. I waited about twenty minutes for this one. That last one scared the crap out of me. But wouldn't you know, the needle went right through (still hurt like hell though), bar went right through, and Voila! I looked at it in the mirror. I tell you what, it was worth it, because I have one gnarly piece!
