Well this is the first attempt at writing of my piercing experiences. Up till recently I had had both nipples pierced by ED and also a self done frenum.
At A Glance Author dave kitchen Contact dasumi28@yahoo.co.uk When A month ago Artist Ed Studio Chrome Incorporated Location Cardiff Wales My latest experience is a long awaited Guiche. I must say that I thought long and hard about the next piercing that I was to have done and the final decision was made after many visits to BME and reading of the experiences of others.
Well my mind was made up and a phone call was made to Chrome to make sure that Ed was still in business as I was well pleased with my previous piercings that he did.
Also the studio was nice and clean, a very important factor in this day and age and every thing was very sterile.
There was a problem ED was shut on the Monday due to a bank Holiday but as I had a few days off work arrangements were made for the following day at 2 pm.
Tuesday came and I was so excited and hyped up that I could not wait till the alloted time and as I had an hours drive to get to cardiff I left early and I arrived at the studio about half an hour before my appointment time, only to find that ED was not there and I was asked if I wanted someone else to do the piercing . I declined of course and said that I would wait for ED to arrive which he duly did and in plenty of time for our appointment.
Well all was set up by ED and we went through all the normal procedures of choosing jewelry type and how I wanted it positioned, ED showed me various types of rings etc and we eventually decided upon the one which I wanted. Now every thing was sorted ED said right it is time to strip off and get on the table, after much discussion and moving around it was agreed that the best position for me to be in was half sitting, half laying on my back with my feet up on the table and knees wide apart. This done, ED then put on his gloves and proceeded to mark up the area in question, even down to drawing a center line so as to make sure that he marked the spots for the new piercing evenly either side and bearing in mind that I had informed him that it was my intention to possibly have a second guiche in the future, depending on the healing of the first one. A mirror was provided for me to look at the markings and after a little discussion and rechecking of the alignment I asked ED to adjust them very slightly which he did, nothing was to much trouble and soon everything was ready and it was time for the main event as the saying goes,
So on to the actual piercing, I was told to take some deep breaths and was surprised that the 2.4mm needle went through without to much pain at all, mind you I do have a very high pain tolerance. After the needle was through ED gave me the mirror to have a look at it as I could not believe that he had done it so quickly, it was time for the next stage to begin and the real pain to start, as I had asked Ed to stretch it straight up to accept the chosen jewelry, a 4mm ball closure ring . ED struggled for a while but was very patient as the ring just would not go through the small 2.4mm hole and so instead of giving up he used a taper and some Vaseline to enlarge the hole and then the ring just slid through with no trouble at all, getting the ball on took a little effort but in no time I was once again handed the mirror to enable me to have my first look at my latest adornment. Boy did it look great, even better than I anticipated.
After all this was finished there was no rushing me out and ED then at my request went on to stretch the existing frenum piercing up to take a 6mm barbell in preparation for a 8mm tube which I had decided to order, due to the existing 28mm by 3.2mm ring causing me a few problems when worn over the helmet. Once again there were a few problems with this stretching as although it went in with no difficulty it just did not want to come out the other side. Not a problem for ED though he just opened another taper of the correct dimensions and added some Vaseline and through it went sweet as you like.
After all was done ED said I could get up and get dressed, not that I wanted to as I was so high on adrenaline I wanted everyone to see the new piercing. ED reckons that I am an animal with the piercings and was rather surprised that I wanted to stretch it straight up, but my feelings are, why wait and go through the healing process twice when it is possible to do it in one go.
ED promptly went through the the aftercare procedure and handed me a sheet with all the information on aftercare on it.
I then had to ask ED how much I owed him as at no time had we even mentioned costs before, and I must say I was pleasantly surprised at his charges.
Have no fear ED I will be back and will recommend your studio to all.
Well it is now three weeks later and the new piercing is healing quite well although it is still weeping a little but with two salt baths a day hopefully it wont be much longer before it is fully healed.
Once again at my request the whole of the above process was photographed by another piercer on my camera and when I can get around to it they will soon be submitted to BME so look out for them.
The urge is back and now I can't wait for my next piercing!!!!
The only thing is I will just have to decide on what it is to be as there are so many I would like done.
