Well, this is my third story (or is it the 4th?). I can't really remember, but just for your information, I already have both nipples pierced, a 0 GA PA and a 4 ring scrotal ladder.
At A Glance Author anonymous Contact anonymous@bme.anon Artist Myself Studio Home Location Bogotá, Colombia As you can see, I'm one of those "victims" of piercing. Once you start, you just can't stop. Eversince I got my PA and my scrotal ladder (which I did myself), I decided it was time to get 2 side hafadas (those that go on each side of the shaft). I don't know why but I liked the idea of making a figure out of my scrotal rings. Besides, i love piercings so why the hell not get another two?
So, I had been thinking about it for about 2 months but hadn't had the opportunity to go to the drug store and get the xylocaine and the needles. If you're wondering why I need xylocaine, it's because I hate pain!!! The fact that I love piercings doesn't mean I like the "actual piercing procedure" you know? Yeah, I know, I'm a wuss.
Ok, here I am at home looking at my balls and wondering if I really want these 2 hafadas. Guess what? I did want them!! It was a thursday night, about 11 pm when my friend went to bed. It was time to do it. I already had convinced myself and I wasn't about to chicken out. The thing is that I had had a friend who helped me out with my previous ones, but since we're not that close anymore, I would have to do it myself this time.
Anyway, I got a marker and drew some spots on my scrotal sac, just where I wanted the rings. I sat on the toilet and slowly inserted the needle with xylocaine through my sac. It hurt a but definetely not as much as the actual piercing needle through my skin would hurt. Right after I could feel nothing, I inserted the piercing needle which I had kept from when I got my PA. No blood, no pain and I already felt great. Of course, I have to mention that by this time, I was sweating very bad and shaking even worse. Not a good thing if you're sticking a needle through your scrotum, ya know?
After I got the needle in, I had the next problem... the ring. I've always had huge problems trying to get that bloody ring in. Well, this time was no exception. It took me about 10 minutes to get that thing inside the hole. It looked awesome! I was ready for the next one.
I did the same procedure on my left side but this time, getting the ring in was way easier. I loved the look of my 2 new hafadas. I used 2 8GA rings for them.
After I got my 2 hafadas done, I had one ring left. It was a weird looking barbell that I had bought about a year ago for my nipple. It was part of one of those nipple shields. Well, I bought it but I didn't like how it looked on me (the shield I mean) so I threw away the round part and kept the barbell. Anyway... I thought "I have this barbell, why not use it too?" so I decided I was going to go from 4 rings in my scrotal ladder to 5. I did the same procedure again, inserted some xylocaine at the bottom of my scrotum (almost a guiche) and when I could feel nothing, I inserted the piercing needle. Getting the ring in wasn't that bad, but considering I was doing it by myself and it's an "out of sight" part of your body, it took me longer than I expected.
I did have some problems with that barbell though:
1. Considering it had spikes at the ends instead of balls (like normal barbells do), it hurt like hell when I sat down.
2. I'm telling ya, it's a weird looking barbell... somehow it doesn't let the piercing heal properly so I kept bleeding and getting crusties. Yikes!
3. The hole wasn't symmetric with the previous ones I got.
Conclusion: I took it out. For your information and based on my experience, scrotal piercings heal better and faster if you wear rings instead of barbells. Maybe some other people have better experiences with barbells but mine isn't good.
If you've ever wanted to get a scrotal ring... go for it! Eventhough they don't make much change in your sexual life (unless your partner likes to nibble on your new rings), they sure look awesome. Besides, it's great to walk around knowing that nobody knows what's under your pants! :o) You can even feel them sometimes when you're walking... just a reminder of what's hanging from your sac! :o) Healing isn't painful at all and it's rather quick, so it's a pretty easy piercing to take care of.
Feel free to e-mail me if you have any questions. I think I know a bit about scrotal piercings, after all, I already have 6!!!
