After years of thinking about getting my dick pierced, I actually went through with the procedure earlier tonight here in beautiful Pittsburgh, PA.
At A Glance Author anonymous Contact anonymous@bme.anon When It just happened Artist Paco Studio Hot Rod Body Piercing Location Pittsburgh, PA - Southside Shop Body piercing has been an interest of mine for quite a few years, preceeded by several tattoos (none submitted to BME yet). Finally, after about five years ago, I got up the nerve to get my nipples pierced. I was a huge Dave Navarro fan and had been working out to get my chest perfect for the piercings.
So, it was only a matter of time before I knew the urge to pursue the PA would be overwhelming. I guess getting my significant other ready for a big step like getting the PA was a major factor in waiting so long. The nipples were no big deal, but wasn't sure how the PA would go over.
We continued our dating through the nipple piercing and I guess moving to cohabitation and marriage this past summer got in the way of pursuing the PA. I don't know what it was but after we got our new internet service, I put up my nipples on BME and got the access to once again see how cool a PA looked and was. So, I started introducing the concept after I had my ducks lined up to go through with things today.
Where I live in Northeastern PA, the only piercer I trusted no longer pierces. She was the only person I knew who did autoclaving, with spore tests and ultrasonic cleaning. Safe and Clean are UBER-important to me and Wendy at the Tat House and her husband were American Red Cross instructors.
So, I knew I had a couple of business trips coming up - State College and Pittsburgh. I took a look at the shops in State College and none made me feel comfortable enough. So I started looking in Pittsburgh and found the web site for Hot Rod Body Piercing. Not the best (sorry guys), but it had the answers that I wanted about cleanliness.
So, I made the decision to do it while here on business for this week. I called last week to check on the hours and their experience with piercing and got the answers and a bunch of information.
So, I got into town on Sunday night and began the mental preparation to have some guy stick a needle in my dick. It was a long day, so sleep wasn't an issue. Yesterday, I was tied up at a dinner meeting until well after 8, so again, no worries. Today, however, was a different story. I had to come up with an excuse to beg out of going out with people from the office for dinner tonight and grabbed a cab to the south side.
Of course, the cabbie missed the street and had to circle around and definitely had a weird look on his face when he pulled up to the place. I tipped him and went in.
Of course, as I was signing the forms, I started to get a bit woozy...OK...a total pussy, but there was going to be a needle in my dick! Paco, was great and got an apple juice for me and brought the blood sugar up a bit. After signing the forms, it started again, but this time a few life savers got my back to normal and Paco and I headed back to the room.
A nice clean room. Paco had me sit back, pull my junk out and put some paper towels underneath. Trust me, it is AMAZING how much your dick knows what's going on. I have read numerous stories here about how much it shrinks up, but thought it was a bit over the top, but trust me it shrinks.
So, after swabbing, explaining where and why he was going to insert the needle, Paco made the mark. He was great. He had me tilt my head back and breathe normally. Sticking the receiving tube in my urethra was a weird feeling, but was nothing like the stick. Paco had me hold my breath and "ping" in went the needle. It really wasn't that bad of a stick...not as bad as getting your dick caught in your zipper by mistake...just a quick pinch...not nearly as bad as my nipples.
One more deep breath and the 10g circular barbell was in - which I really didn't even feel. A quick condom was slipped on and we were good to go. It really didn't even bother me much afterward. Oh, I also got a new pair of 8g circular barbells while I was there.
Its still bleeding a wee bit, but I got extra condoms to keep me clean for the night and some good suggestions about how not to bloody the hotel room bed. Once its decent looking, I'll have to post it here too. Thanks Paco and Hot Rod for a great PA experience.
