At A Glance Author Steve Contact Steve@bme.anon When It just happened Artist Cherie Studio Altered Evolution Location West Allis, Wisconsin Hey Dudes,
Just wanted to post my official PA experience here! I've been coming to this site for quite a while now doing a lot of research on PA's and reading other guy's experiences. I'd seen PA piercings before in countless gay videos and always thought it looked pretty fuckin' hot...but would dismiss the idea of doing it myself because I always thought that I wouldn't be able to leave it alone long enough to let it heal, lol! After reading up on everyone's experiences I discovered that the heal time wasn't that long and since I'm currently single (for now) thought well why not fuckin' go for it?
I'd checked out quite a few piercing and tattoo studios in my area...some did PA's and some did not. I finally decided on a shop called Altered Evolution in West Allis, Wisconsin--about 30 miles east of where I live. I called and made the appointment for March 11th at 5:45 pm. The wait during the two weeks of initially making the appointment to the actual day seemed to drag on FOREVER! But finally, the day did arrive. As I write this it is the next day, March 12th.
When I got to the shop, Cherie (who was to do the piercing) was there and I filled out the paperwork and then she asked me about what I had in mind for jewelry. I told her I would be happy with either a CBR or a circular barbell...as long as it was at least a 10 guage ring. Finally selected a 10ga 5/8 d. CBR. She told me she had to prepare the room and would call me back when she was ready. I sat and chilled in a comfy oversized chair there and checked out the artwork and paraphernalia on the walls. Still couldn't believe I was going through it! Finally....she called me back!
Got into the private room, which was immaculate and took off my coat. She asked me to drop my jeans and try to make myself comfy on the chair. I was on autopilot by this time...every movement I made seemed to be in slow motion and exagerrated. I laid down and was shocked when I looked down and saw how much my little buddy had shrunken! LOL! It looked literally like he was trying to escape back into my body. She told me she was going to take some measurements with this caliper looking thingie and I just looked at her and laughed. She told me to just relax that what I was experiencing was normal. I said that's easy for you to say, you're a girl--you don't have an outie, you've got an innie! She chuckled and said well even though I'm doing some measuring here don't worry because we do allow some space for when you're erect. I just laid there and let her do her thing while concentrating on my breathing and watching the clock on the wall. She asked me if I wanted anything to numb it down to make it easier for me and I asked her back if she thought that it's really necessary....she said no not really, it's gonna feel more like an intense pinch but it'll be brief. I told her to just go ahead without the anaesthetic. She swabs the area down with some kind of antiseptic lotion and then out comes the fabled dreaded recieving tube. She told me this is going to be uncomfortable. At first for a few seconds it was a little bit strange...it didn't hurt, not by a long shot--and it was slightly uncomfortable...but it wasn't anything I couldn't deal with. Finally that was positioned and she grabbed the needle and asked me if I was doing okay, was I ready? I told her I was and she told me to just concentrate on breathing in and out and on the exhale it would be done. I was looking at the clock watching the second hand and breathing in....and when I slowly started to exhale I felt the most intense pinch...but before I'd barely registered it...it started to fade. I could feel her inserting the ring and adjusti "\Ãw€ë ng it. She said there ya go and I looked down. I was amazed because finally the moment that I've been fantasizing about for many weeks now was here! She inserted the bead and cleaned me up a little bit--there was some bleeding but not a whole heck of a lot. I just sat there staring at it and she asked me how I was doing and I smiled and said 'HOLY SHIT!'
She laughed and said it wasn't so bad, was it? I was like no, not at all! I was feeling such a rush. The endorphins were definitely kicking into high gear! I really felt high as a kite and like there was an electrical current running through my body. All my senses were enhanced a thousandfold and I was feeling so many emotions....pride...joy...empowerment to name a few! She wrapped me up in some gauze and rolled a condom on me carefully and told me this would help in case I bled more on the way home. She fastened it with a rubber band and that was that. I stood up and pulled my pants up. (Slowly of course!) Cherie went over a few basic aftercare tips with me, the usual stuff. We walked back upfront to the reception area and she gave me a booklet of aftercare instructions that went into a little more detail. She also gave me a packet of sea salt for soaking twice a day and a bottle of saline solution to clean the piercing with. They don't believe in using antibacterial soaps on fresh piercings because while they are effective at killing germs and all that they are also too harsh. I tipped her and thanked her profusely...hell, I wanted to hug her she was fuckin' awesome! I'm definitely going back there for stretching when it's healed enough.
On the way home I stopped at Walgreen's and bought some Q-tips, gauze and bottled water to mix the sea salt solution with. In the store I could feel the ring there on the end of my cock and it was such a cool feeling. I wasn't feeling sore or anything, just different. A good different kind of feeling. I got home finally and stripped down and went to the bathroom with my supplies to check things out. Yes there was blood...a bit more than I thought there would be, but I knew that was to be expected. I stood in the shower and let the water run over me, washing the blood away. There was a big slimy clot on the bead of the ring and I gingerly picked it away. I wasn't grossed out or anything or even worried. I just figured well okay, you knew this would all be a part of it so just deal with it and take care of business. I had read a lot of experiences and a lot of people made mention of the 'dreaded first pee'. For two days prior to this all I drank was water and a lot of it. As I stood there in the shower I decided it was time to try that out. I leaned my head back and closed my eyes and waited for the burning and stinging to happen as I let go. I felt nothing, it was like a normal piss! Yeah there was some blood in it but no stinging or burning! I let the water rinse me off and stood there for a couple minutes while the blood continued to drip from me. I shut the water off and grabbed the gauze, wrapped myself up carefully and slipped on my robe and retired to the couch to watch a DVD and relax, putting a towel under me just in case. I bled a little bit more, not too much and by 2 am it seemed to have stopped. I cleaned it up again and decided to sleep without any bandaging to let it breathe. I put several towels on the bed so I wouldn't get blood on the sheets and turned out the light. Sometime later I woke up and realized I had a HUGE THROBBING BONER! I turned on the light and was so happy because IT STILL WORKS! LOL! I checked it over to see if there was more bleeding from this and th "\Ãw€ë ere was a little bit, but nothing to be too overly concerned with. I felt great and the ring wasn't pulling or anything so the size of the ring was perfect! I fell back asleep with a smile on my face.
I woke up late Saturday morning and checked it out again, barely any blood. Went to the bathroom and my pee was a little bit pink in color. I sat down for this, didn't wanna spray all over the place. Sitting down while urinating isn't going to be a big deal. It's a slight annoyance that I can live with, definitely. I haven't bled once yet today, everything seems to feel great. I've been diligent about keeping it clean and following Cherie's instructions to the letter. I'm quite happy with my new piercing and can't wait to show it off! Most of my friends know I was going to do this and were supportive, a few were ambivalent about it....but I did this for me--this is mine and it makes me happy and thats what it's all about!
I hope that posting my experience here helps someone else out who's interested or wondering about getting a PA for themselves. I don't regret a moment of this, even at it's bloodiest! The pain is very minimal (at least for me it was) and the healing seems like it's going to be a breeze! Just make sure you do your research like I did and take the time to check out several piercing studios and pick the one that 'feels' right for you. Good luck and thanks for reading my LONG story!
