Since I first saw someone with a tongue piercing in TV about 6 or 7 years ago I was fascinated in piercings. Here in Europe piercings became popular only about 4 years ago. This was approximately when I got my first tongue piercing. Not much later I heard something about a "Prince Albert" and an explanation where it is pierced through. Immediately I wanted to have one. After some research I finally got it. I was very glad when I found BME on the internet because now I could see what other piercings there are, and what fascinated me much more, how they look like. In between I've been falling in love with an Ampallang, but I didn't got enough courage to get it done yet.

I've also ordered some piercing utilities like a clamp and needles (2,7mm ~10-9g). As I've already pierced my ears myself and sometimes experimentally my scrotum and foreskin, I've decided to pierce my guiche, this time a bit more professionally.
I got a 2,4mm (~10g) titanium captive bead ring left from my PA piercing, which is stretched to 6mm (~2g) in the meantime. So it was time and I prepared all I needed. I covered my bed with a big fresh towel, took care of good light, putted all utilities within reach, and prepared myself mentally. If I wouldn't have stopped smoking 3 months ago, I would have smoked one.
So I decided to start. I cleaned my guiche region with some alcoholics, the ring was already autoclaved (thank goodness my mom got a device like this at work), and the needle and clamp were still sterilized in their original packages.
First I marked the points I wanted to pierce through. It's not easy to see all down there, so I fetched a mirror. After I made my spots, I tried to clamp it. It was not easy because I wanted the piercing relatively near to the anus (about 3cm or 1¼" away) because I like the feeling when you pull the skin there just before an ejaculation. So I wanted the ring to be there, where normally pulling the skin.
I took a while to put the clamp right on. I asked myself how a professional piercer would do this, because even he would need three hands. Two to hold the skin above and under the marks and one to put on the clamp. Finally I got it. O.K. I just laid back and took some deep breathes. Then I took the needle out of the package, removed the safety plastic on it, and put it to the one mark on the right side. I tried to push a bit, and the needle immediately glided into the skin. I didn't expect that it would be that easy, but I was not ready. The needle was only in the skin on the one side, but not out on the other. So I continued pushing. Slowly the needle came out on the left side. Now my whole body was flooded with adrenalin, my hands started to tremble. I knew I wanted this piercing, now, so I tried to calm myself and pushed the needle completely through the skin. The last few millimetres hurt the most of it, I think, because the needle is now no more cutting but stretching the skin.
After I shoved the needle that it was in the middle I took the clamp away. It didn't even bleed. Ok so I took the ring out of the package removed the bead and put it on the needle. Slowly I began to push the needle with the ring through. The ring glided perfectly after the needle through the hole. So I took the bead and put it on back. Now it began to blood a very bit. I cleaned all with some alcoholics again, put paper towels on and slipped into some underpants. Now it began to blood a bit, so I had to change the towels after a few hours, but it was not bad at all.
I finally have no problem to pull needles through my body. I think I'm a bit masochistic in this way. I like this feeling, this trembling I get, and above all I like the way piercings look. Not only on me, I have to force myself not to stare at someone in the subway or bus with nice ear or facial piercings. But I also have limits. I have no problem to pierce my guiche, foreskin, scrotum, ear, lip, nose, belly button or something like this, but an Ampallang or a tongue piercing is something I wouldn't do.
And there is something more I have to get of my chest: At least I found a girl-friend that loves my preference for piercings because she likes them also but is much more afraid of getting it done than me. But I think I will get her so far that she'll let her clit hood pierced. A bit later perhaps her nipples. She wants to but is just afraid of it. Why shouldn't I try to persuade her to it? She also tries to persuade me to let the Ampallang pierced since I told her that I was thinking about it.
Today I stood up very late. First I looked whether the towel I changed just before I've gone to bed was full of blood. But there was nothing. Under the shower I cleaned my new piercing from the blood crusts, and could not withstand to pull at once. It hurt a bit, but not so much I though it would so I let it be. After the shower I put on some healing cream. Now it don't hurt anymore, I only feel a little burning there. I am very happy that I've got it, and I'm looking forward to try out my new "toy". I also want to stretch it to 4,0mm (~6g).
The next thing will be my Ampallang. I don't know how but I feel ready for it. But 2-4 weeks or even longer no sex? That won't be that big problem for me, but for my girl-friend. It's a bit changed roles in our relationship.
