Am I the Oldest, Continued
At A Glance Author Floydk Contact rfd1108@netscape.net When Three months ago Artist Allen Falkner Studio Obscurities Location Dallas, Texas The first report I submitted, which covered my original piercing was posted in September 2003. Shortly after it was written I ran out of the Provon soap that was supplied by the piercing studio, Obscurities in Dallas, Texas. I told the wife I was going to go back to get another bottle and was surprised that she was interested enough to wanted to go with me to see what kind of a place I was visiting. I think her imagination was running wild at this point.
She seemed to be impressed by the cleanliness and her attention was also focused on the large selection of jewelry on display. She showed considerably more interest in the jewelry display than I had expected, particularly the rubber penis with all the jewelry installed that was also in the display case.
Exactly what happened while she was there will be the subject of a future report when the subscription I hope to receive from this report expires.
To my surprise they gave me another bottle of Provon, free of charge.
By the end of October I had decided to make a change because the eight gauge horseshoe barbell had a tendency to get caught on any thing and every things. I felt a curved barbell would work and be less likely to tug and pull at unexpected moments.
Back to Obscurities.
Allen wasn't in that day but Tasha assisted me in selecting a six gauge curved barbell. I really didn't know what to expect as I had never removed the eight gauge horseshoe and had no idea if the piercing had stretched. I gratefully accepted the offer of free installation.
After a few minutes to sterilize the jewelry she motioned for me to follow her to the piercing room where the normal procedure is to drop the pants and get up on the table. As I stated in the first report, I've been around too long to let a little thing like dropping my pants in front of a stranger bother me.
She removed the horseshoe barbell and slipped the six gauge curved barbell right through the piercing without a problem of any kind. I left her a nice tip.
Within a week I discovered I had made a minor mistake; the ball was too small on the front end and would disappear into the urethra at odd moments, which permitted it to protrude out of the piercing for a considerable distance. It was now catching on even more things than the horseshoe had.
Back to Obscurities, again.
I purchased a larger ball for the front end of the barbell, which solved the problem very nicely. Amazingly the wife even liked it better for some unexplained reason.
Soon the Holiday Season was quickly approaching with the normal hustle and bustle this time of year brings and the wife also volunteered me to drive the truck for a charity organization that supplies toys to children for Christmas. I hadn't work that hard even before I retired.
I woke up the morning of Christmas Eve to discover the barbell was no longer in place. I checked the bed, not there. I checked my shoe, not there either. I checked my socks, still nothing. I even checked the bedroom floor and the floorboard of the truck; it was nowhere to be found. My lack of experience with piercings was evident; apparently I had not tightened the new ball sufficiently even though I tightened it enough that I was concerned that I might break the tiny stud. Bummer.
Back to Obscurities, again.
It was the day after Christmas and I was surprised to find Allen was there. Since the six gauge barbell had slipped in so easily I decided to upsize again to a four gauge and take advantage of the free installation also.
After just a few minutes delay to sterilize the jewelry he called me back to the piercing room. Drop the pants, up on the table, lay back and wait for the insertion.
The original piercing had been virtually painless; the upsize to six gauge had been a nonevent so I expected the same results this time.
Wrong.
As the taper proceeded through the piercing there should have been a huge cloud of smoke from the very large fire that had to be burning in that area. I actually looked to see how much bleeding there was.
Well, there wasn't any bleeding but I assure you that I will wait a considerable longer period of time before I upsize again. However the discomfort had disappeared within an hour and all normal activities resumed the following day.
It has now been over three months since the four gauge jewelry was installed and I find I am thinking about what to do next.
By the way, I have passed another birthday, now 66.
