Unbloody blood vessels!!!!!!

I'd been toying with the idea of getting genitally pierced for a while but was never sure which piercing appealed to me the most. After reading the experiences and looking at the photos on BME I thought I'd stick with the PA 'cause of quick healing times and I really liked the look. Anyhow, I could always have it extended up through the top of my glans for an Apadravya or have an ampallang as well at a later date!!

I kept this in mind for a couple of months but never really got round to getting it done. As things happen my gf and I had a temporary separation and I figured there's no better way of relieving depression than getting a new piece of metal stuck through me..

I live in east London and I couldn't be arsed to travel far so I popped into a local piercers a couple of miles down the road from me. As I walked in I was confronted with a heaving mass of young girls getting their navels pierced, well that put me right off from the start 'cause I wanted someone who could take their time about it..

So me and my flatmate hopped on the train and headed into town and visited the place where I usually get most of my holes from in Soho.. The place was quite quiet which was a relief so I enquired about it and was told they'd need to check me over first. I expected this as I read it in a pamphlet I had laying around my room. Into one of the piercing rooms I wander and pants off. Anyhow the guy checks me over and announces the bad news...... Too many blood vessels either side of my frenum (I'm uncut). FUCK!!!!!!!!

I left the room swore loudly at my flat mate and then stomped outside for a cigarette. So there I was, with all this money in my pocket going no where. So I got another piercing I've wanted for a while, the Daith (crunchy)!!!!!

anyway, a couple of months passed, me and my gf got back together, everybody's happy.... Not me!!!! I want my PA!!!! Anyhow I was out shopping in Camden Town and I noticed Cold Steel Body Piercing (not for the first time), I'd heard many good references about the place from friends so I thought I'd see what gives. I really liked the look of the place so I decided to come back at a later date with my gf and see what they say!! My gf wanted her tongue pierced so she decided to get it done when I went back. We picked a date that we were both off work and headed to Cold Steel.

We got to the reception and enquired, SHIT the chap that does PA's is not in today (Someone up there doesn't want me to get this thing done). My gf got her tongue pierced and I chatted with the bloke behind the counter and made an appointment for the next day. In the evening, after I've finished work.

I got there in the evening on time and met up with my flatmate (for moral support)!!I walked in and met the piercer Rich (I think) signed the relevant documents showed my passport for ID (got an all round cheer, for most ridiculous photo)and went upstairs with Rich. I got my pants down and he checked me over, He said it was possible to pierce right of my frenum 'cause there was less blood vessels and ridges of skin, hallelujah!!!!!!!!

So he preps everything up, sterilises my equipment, talking his way through the whole procedure so I know what he's doing... I'm actually quite calm at this moment. I'm not at all concerned about the pain 'cause I've been play piercing the little fella for a while now so I'll be nice to have something permanent. After many glove changes later he then inserts the receiving tube down my urethra, this is the bit I had been dreading 'cause I had a urethra infection a couple of years before and had to have a small spoon and a cotton bud (I think there called Q tips in the US) type thing scraped inside me at the clinic, which was so very painful!!!! As expected the receiving tube was very uncomfortable but once he lined everything up and stopped moving it, it was okay!!! He said take three breaths and he'd pierce on the third breath........... There was a sharp pinch and that was all, I looked down and saw the needle stuck through my penis with a cork on the sharp end, not something you see everyday.. I lay back and he inserted the 2.4mm CBR which was also painless!!! all done!!!.. He bandaged me up and stuck on the famous glove talked me through the aftercare at great length and I was on my merry way, pierced and happy!!!!!

I was very impressed with Cold Steel's customer care and I much preferred it to my usual place so I know where I'll be going for all my new holes from now on!!!

My flat mate and I went to the pub straight afterwards (how British) so I could tell all my friends he he... And when we got there I really needed to pee. Hmmm the first piss after a PA and I'm gonna be doing it in a pub toilet where everyone can hear the screams...HA HA!!!! I'm just lucky the toilets in my pub are quite sanitary..any way, I pulled down my pants removed the bandaging and glove and was surprised to see no blood in it at all, I looked at my penis and there was a small amount dried on the tip, that was all , not quite the dramatic bleed out I was expecting. I sat down and hesitated for a bit, but I really needed to go so I thought what the hell.... I felt a small pressure build up in my penis behind the piercing then a small clot shot out followed by urine... There was a SLIGHT stinging but nothing like what I was led to believe. When I finished, there was a slight bloody discolouration of my urine but nothing dramatic (how disapointing)!!! I tried to put the bandage and glove on but they wouldn't stay put, so I thought what the hell... My pants are black, the stains won't show...

That night when I went home I checked on myself and there was no blood in my underwear, most peculiar. I soaked my penis in warm salt water, cleaned myself up and put on a fresh pair of undies!!! I slept soundly that night, nothing wakes me, not even painful erections it seems! I checked my pants and the bed the next morning and still no blood, considering I had too many blood vessels according to one piercing place this seemed a bit ridiculous.. The second night it seemed to bleed a little 'cause there was two or three spots on my sheets in the morning.. And apart from the slight crusting of blood on the piercing itself for a few days that was all the blood I saw throughout the experience...

It's been a couple of months now and everything healed fine. It feels fantastic and looks spectacular! Now for stretching it..................................
