My girlfriend has been into body modification for some time now. And my girlfriend has been trying to convince me to get a piercing (or tattoo) for some time also.
At A Glance Author Jimie Pop Contact jimie_pop@hotmail.com Artist Luis Garcia Studio Infinite Body Location Philly, PA It's kinda hard for me to get a body mod for even though I am 21, I live at home (hey its cheap and free food). Even though my mom says I am "old enough to make my own decisions", if I even get an earring, my whole fam will flip- My grandparents (who also live at home) will literally disown me, my father and mother will just give me crap until I move out, and my bro, a 25 year old yuppie, will never let me hear the end of it. At least my jobs wouldn't care, which is a reason for a lot of people not getting some.
So it was kinda obvious to me if I wanted one before I move out without a family feud, I needed it below the belt. I have been thinking about a Prince Albert for a while now. So last weekend my girlfriend and I took a trip to Philly, where I told her "If I am getting pierced, it will be at Infinite Body". I really liked the look of the place and the experience of the piercers.
Well we got there and went into Infinite. I asked the guy behind the counter about the Prince Albert- cost, healing, etc. He reminds me of the bleeding for a couple of days after its put in, and I am really busy so that really was not an option at this time. Then I started thinking about a frenum. But I thought if I was to get a frenum, then just get a PA. Then my girlfriend chimes in with a scrotum piercing.
Not to difficult to care for, not too painful to get (at least in my mind), will let me experience body piercing without taking to big a step if I don't like it, and below the belt... it's a winner.
I looked at the rings and an 8 gauge CBR caught my eye. I asked the guy if I can get pierced at an 8, for he told me they are usually pierced at a 10 or 12. "Hang on I'll ask" and he did. "Yep, we can do an eight". At this point my girlfriend mouth was open for she never expected her blank boy to pick an 8 gauge for his first piercing. Hey, if your gonna do it, do it right the way you want it right? We sat in the wait area for Luis to smoke a cig and when he came back in he told me to come into one of the two piercing rooms.
Luis was very friendly. He went over some care instructions and asked me to sit in what looked like a dentist's chair. Being nervous, and naked from the waist down my penis seemed to actually recede into my body (hate to see what it does when IT gets pierced). I saw everything laid out neatly on the tray. Then I saw the 8-gauge needle that was going to go through my nut sack... hmmm, am I really getting my scrote pierced? What was I thinking? It was then I decided not to look when he does it, and just to let my girlfriend tell me what happened when it was over. She of course is smiling like she was high, excited just to watch. Clamps on, didn't hurt at all. Then I saw him pick up the needle.
"Ready?"
"As much as I'll ever be"(Aka- no)
Pretty soon he told me to take a deep breath...(Insert some pain here)... and it was over. Thanked and tipped him and I was out of there, proud of my new scrote ring.
It looks really cool and I like it a lot. Same says my girlfriend. It's been 1 day since I got it done and it's bleeding a little bit but not much. If you want a piercing that's not 'too' extreme, and you can hide, this is a great one. I just wanna tell everyone or just whip out my balls and show people, but then I remember that its my scrote and stop :). Will I get more? I don't really know for sure, but almost definitely when I move out.
I would go on and praise Infinite Body but anyone who knows the place and/or the piercers there know that it is very professional and they take great care to make a sterile environment.
If you have any questions about it or want to know how my healing is going, feel free to drop me a line at jimie_pop@hotmail.com. I'm not used to talking to people about my scrote, but I guess I better start for my girlfriend is already telling the world......
