Well I did it. I went and got my next series of piercings. I had been thinking about it for a while, but since it was summer I had to wait until the weather got cooler to reduce the risk of infection. I am getting ahead of myself though.
At A Glance Author Jason Locke Contact Jason Locke@bme.anon When A year ago Artist Tashi Studio Perforations Location Grand Rapids, MI I am a 23 year old, heterosexual, white male. I have been involved in body modification since I was 19 and wanted to do something more extreme than I had done before. I have two tattoo's, and until my latest trip to the studio, only four piercings. My tongue, both nipples, and my PA. I started with the PA and worked my way up. I had recently graduated from a small but good engineering college in Michigan were there was one reputable, and one not-so-reputable, piercing and tattoo studio. I bought myself a tattoo for graduation, but the bug to get pierced was biting me. After I had moved back home and gotten a job, I wanted to get my scrotum done, to start a ladder. I don't like to go small in anything I do, so I decided to get four done at once.
I went in to talk to the owner of the shop, Tashi, and she put me to ease right away. Since I had been through this all before, and after all the hours that I have spent on the BME website, I knew exactly what to ask and look for. It was the middle of the summer and she suggested that I wait until the weather started to cool to lessen the chance if infection and bacteria. I spent a lot of time there during the summer and when the fall arrived, I went in and picked out the jewelry, 8 ga. CBR, and made the appointment for the next weekend.
Even though it was not necessary, I shaved before going in to look and feel better. When I got there, she closed the shop for my appointment so that there would be no distraction. The mood in the studio was calm and relaxed, there was soothing music playing on a small stereo. I have been in other studios where the artist is blasting some sort of heavy metal, which for some things is appropriate, but for what I was getting done, I didn't want to be getting worked up any more than I was already. After she laid out the tools and had me inspect them, she had me take off my pants and stand in front of her so that she could mark me with a fine tip pen for the placement of the jewelry. The good thing about having a PA is that you can hold on to it to keep out of the way while being marked for other piercings. After we agreed on the placement of the holes, she gave me the pen to keep. I got up on the table, put my feet in the stirrups and laid down. Now I know what an expec ting mother must feel like sitting in the chair. This may sound funny to you, but I am a big baby when it comes to needles. The only piece of equipment that I didn't check over, were the packages of needles. I told her that if I did, I would pass out. The forceps went on for the first ring, I took several deep breaths, and the needle was pushed through. I had taken my camera with me for this special event and asked her take pictures for me for a keepsake. Each time she took a picture she removed her gloves and then put on a new pair. I felt so comfortable in her presence that this was just a great experience. After she took the picture, she continued with the procedure, pushing the ring in and popping in the bead. Only three more times. The second ring went in just as easily as the first one did, only I was starting to get that pleasant, numb mind feeling that you get when you hold your breath during orgasm. I had to be reminded to breath normally so I wouldn't p ass out.
The thing is, it didn't really hurt that much. Maybe that's because there aren't all that many nerves in the scrotum, maybe it's because I was so high on adrenalin and endorphins that I didn't feel it. The only discomfort that there was, was when the tapered part of the needle broke through skin. These are my most favorite piercings. I don't get any sexual pleasure out of them, but I do enjoy when girls play with them. I have always been somewhat am exhibitionist, so showing off my piercings is not a problem. I will be looking forward to my next piercings, after I decide what they will be. Maybe I will go with an implant........
