I had my first piercing experience sophomore year of high school getting my ears pierced. I then got my first tattoo (a tribal on my upper back) a week before my 18th birthday. At that point I was hooked. I'm now a freshman at UC Santa Barbara, and on one of my many drunken wanderings I came across Precious Slut in Isla Vista (the town next to UCSB). I got my first piercing there (a helix), and liked it enough to get another helix, stretch my 2 existing lobe piercings, and get a tribal on my calf.
At A Glance Author Nuts Contact CENuttall@Mac.com When N/A Artist Gauge Studio Precious Slut III Location Isla Vista, CA I had been thinking about getting a PA for a while, and went in to talk to Gauge about what it entailed. He told me about what to expect and how much it would cost, and then asked if I wanted to do it then. I was still a little unsure, so I told him I'd think about it and be back later. I went back to the dorm, told my friend Gina, who is also a piercing aficionado, what I was thinking of doing. She screamed and asked "Charles, What the fack? You're going to get your penile member pierced?" I told her it wouldn't be for a while, and I would tell her when I was going so she could visit all her friends down at precious slut. I went home that weekend, and while I was there, I decided that I was definitely going to get it done, but probably not for a couple weeks. After getting some money for various other things, I went back up to school.
That night, while working on a paper for my music class, the Internet went down, halting any progress I would make on the paper. It was at that point that I decided, what the fuck, I'm getting it done tonight. I basically thought if I didn't do it then, I wouldn't get it done at all. I went to go see if Gina wanted to go, but she was asleep, so I went by myself. I walked a couple blocks and was at Precious Slut. They called gauge, and while we waited for him to arrive, I filled out some paperwork.
Once he got there, he asked 10 ga. Or 8 ga. I figured, what the fuck, its gonna hurt either way, why not just take 1 step out of the stretching, go with the 8. He cleaned everything, and called me back to the room. That's when he said, "Ok, there's no easy way to say this. Take off your pants. After cleaning everything, he inserted the receiving tube. I had read many of these BME things saying that this is the most painful part. I didn't think it was that bad, so I though I was in for smooth sailing. Boy was I wrong. He had me do the 3 breaths, and on the 3rd I experienced some of the worse pain I have ever felt. The people in the front said that they could hear me yelling. Gauge joked around saying "well, I never said it would be a back rub." Then came the stretching from 10 to 8, which also hurt like a bitch. After the circular barbell was inserted, I was still gushing blood. Seeing your dick gushing blood was one of the most disturbing things I have ever seen. I guess seeing a needle going through it was fine, but seeing all that blood was just weird. It seems as if it would be something you would see in a bad horror movie and not something that you paid to have done to yourself.
He put some gauze on it and wrapped it in a couple rubber gloves. He gave me the aftercare stuff and told me to come back if I had any trouble. I went home, waited for a while, and then went to go take a shower. I took off the glove, which at this point had filled with blood, and washed it off. I loved how it looked. I showered, and then put a condom with some cotton in it on to keep from bleeding all over the place while I slept. I woke up the next morning, more blood, and still some pain, but not regretting it.
I told Gina later that day what I did. More screaming and then a bunch of questions, and her announcing it to her roommates. When I told my other friend about it, she demanded to see it. She in turn showed me her nipple piercing, so I got something out of it too. Haven't had a chance to use it with anyone else yet, but when I've tried it out on my own I'm pretty happy with the results. The one thing that I'm not too happy about is the garden sprinkler effect when I piss, but other than that I love my new piercing. I now have plans for a frenum, maybe nipples, rook, and eyebrow, and getting my tattoos added on to. I know I'm getting addicted to it, but hey, at least it's not crack.
