Having just passed my 50th birthday, I was soon to experience something I thought I would never do. If you made a lineup of people, I would be the last one anyone would think would have a piercing - let alone a genital piercing. I have been involved in a bdsm relationship for the past couple of years, and it's amazing how your thinking can change!
At A Glance Author Dave_M Contact Dave_M@bme.anon When A week ago Artist Mikel Studio Andromeda Location NYC I saw my Mistress/Owner Lady Claudia right around my birthday this past November, but she said she needed more time to plan what she was going to do with/to me.
This sent my mind into motion - what will she do? I had to wait until after my trip to Jamaica, and then work out a time when we could get together again.She said we would need extra time, so this made it a bit more difficult. Last Thursday I made an excuse and left work a couple hours early, and made it into Manhattan a little after four. Mistress came bouncing out of her building looking gorgeous as always, with those breasts looking as large as ever in a ribbed turtle neck sweater. She was quick to point out that she had her amber-tinted contacts in, which make her look even more like the tigress she is.
I had spent the past few weeks wondering how we would celebrate my birthday together, but I had a slight idea how it might be. Last summer I mentioned to LC that I thought I might like a genital piercing. She has three body piercings below the neck, and I felt it would be a way to further our bond together. Mistress questioned me as to whether I could get away with it in my everyday life, and I said that the position I was thinking of would make it okay.
We got in my car and after a quick stop at Duane Reed, made our way down to St. Mark's Place in the East Village. We have dined and shopped down in that area, along with Greenwich Village, and I have come to appreciate that part of Manhattan, but parking is never easy. This time we lucked out and found a meter less than a block from where we were going.
When I spoke to LC the day before, she told me the surprise she had planned - I guess she felt I might need to prepare mentally - she was taking me for that piercing! I wasn't nervous really, excited more than anything. Mistress linked her arm inside mine, and we walked to Andromeda-NYC.
It is a small place, with a glass counter running down one wall, and glass display cabinets down the other, stocked with their extensive selection of jewelry and aftercare supplies. I could see into the piercing room in the back, and everything looked very clean. There were only two people there at the time, Mikel - the piercer, and an attractive young black girl with a brand new back tattoo - I could tell because she had saran wrap covering it. Andromeda also does tattoos, but I think at another location down the street.
Mikel, as possibly true with a lot of other piercers, did not look like someone I would enjoy having approach me in a dark alley. You can check out what I mean by going here www.andromeda-nyc.com . Mistress and I were discussing diameter and gauge (thickness) of the ring we wanted - she was saying 12 or 14, but probably 14. I was actually thinking of the thicker size, as I did not know if I would want to upsize later, or get the chance. The ring was to be placed on my scrotum, at the very top where it meets my cock - it would kind of hide behind, and not be noticed at quick glance.
Mikel produced some rings for us to check out, he showed us a 14, a 12 and a 10 gauge. He told us that the piercing would feel the same for whichever size we chose, and said that he normally recommends the 10. So I have always thought bigger was always better when all else is the same, and besides, the 10 he showed us was a stainless-steel captive bead ring, 3/4" diameter with a black bead. LC and I both thought it looked pretty sharp. Mikel went over the aftercare, Mistress paid in advance for my present, and we had a short wait while the ring was sterilized and he got the room ready.
The event was about to start, and I was surprisingly un-nervous - I think due to the fact that my Mistress was with me, and all the trust for her that I have. She can push me to do all kinds of things I would never have had the nerve to try. Mikel instructed me to drop my pants and get up on the chair. While he was marking me, checking for veins and finding the right position, he gave me the spiel about not touching it except to clean, no sex for 30 days (like that would be a problem for me!), keep out of chlorinated pools,etc. At this time, LC pipes in with "how long til I can hang things on it? Tonite!??"
Of course she was joking about the tonite part, but I know that was in her mind. But actually, I think I like the thought of stretching my balls out. It was obvious that we were a d/s couple, and Lady Claudia identified herself as such. She also knew for a fact that Mikel was a part of the scene, doing piercings at dungeons, etc.
Mikel was ready. He located a spot slightly lower than I was anticipating to avoid a vein. With my approval, I lay back. Mistress offered me her hand, but I did not take it. I have read enough about piercing experiences to figure he would have me do some deep breathing. So he told me to breathe in, and on first exhale, I was pierced! I had hardly felt anything, and there was nothing to inserting the ring and fastening the bead.
I was ecstatic. Mikel did such a great job! I love the placement and look of it. LC tipped him, and I hugged and kissed Mistress with thanks, and we were out of there in about 25 minutes total. We were both thrilled. Mistress had wanted to take pictures of the procedure, but we were not allowed. Not to worry, there would be time for pictures later.
After the piercing event, we were both starved, so we ran and put some quarters in the meter. LC kind of wanted pizza, so we went into the pizza place we had seen on the corner. But I had already had my pizza fix for the week, and wanted some place where we could sit more comfortably (not that I needed to!), so we went across the street to Bar B Q. Interestingly enough, the last time we had eaten there was almost a year ago, prior to Mistress taking me to find my collar!
The food there is good - I had steak and ribs, while LC had ribs with some rice. After the meal, I went down stairs to wash up, and when I came back Mistress was talking with the waiter. I sneaked up behind her and whispered in her ear - "I have Mistress metal in my bits", which of course cracked her up. We paid the check and got back to the car with one minute on the meter - everything was going perfect for us so far this evening.
I highly recommend Mikel at Andromeda - he knows his stuff, and did a great job. Everything was clean and he did all the right things, like explaining the aftercare, answering questions and making recommendations. A week has gone by, I have cleaned and rotated as instructed. There has been no pain at all, whatsoever (it did bleed a tiny bit when I rotated it the morning after the piercing) - and I am thrilled with it. I wish I had gotten started earlier, and I definitely will want something else some day - maybe a frenum or a PA? Hmmm.....
