Alright, to start off this isn't my first piercing I do have two frenums done from about a year ago but I wanted more. I had been thinking about getting a PA for a while but I was kind of put off by a lot of people complaining about heavy bleeding so I never did it.
At A Glance Author Jim Contact flpanthersfan37@aol.com When It just happened Artist John Miller Studio A Whole Addiction Location Coral Springs/Ft. Lauderdale FL Then over the last like two weeks I had been reading some more on it and I saw that a lot of people who said they had a piercing done at one gauge with an immediate stretch to a higher gauge had little or no problem with bleeding. This is called a pierce stretch and its sole purpose is to minimize bleeding. Once I had read all of this I decided I would get a PA soon.
So there I am sitting in one of my classes and decided that once it was over I was going to call a shop and set it up. I called Whole Addiction in Coral Springs FL because I had heard good things about them. I called up and asked some questions and found that John did the PA's the way I hoped he did and he told me to come in. So off I went to the studio. This place is a piercing studio that does some tattoo work, but they do really good tattoo work, its not like the typical tattoo shop that does some piercing stuff.
So I got there walked in and was greeted by very nice staff. I told him what I wanted and he asked if I was the one that had called earlier and I told him it was. We chatted for a minute just going over some minor details and I picked the jewelry, a 10g CBR that was a polished surgical stainless steel. We did all the paper work while he prepared the equipment and the room. This place actually makes all of there own jewelry at a place down the road. Once the paperwork was done and the stuff was ready I paid for the piercing which cost 77 bucks with the jewelry and a bottle of provon. This place has great prices on piercings everywhere else around wanted over a 100 bucks for a PA. I think that has a lot to do with how professional they are here and the fact that it is mainly a piercing studio.
I went into the room, which was hospital clean, reminded me of a doctors office. He explained what he was going to do. Then it came to the point where he had me drop my pants and lay down on the table, theres no turning back at that point your in it for the long haul. He did all the prep work with the sterilizing the area on the outside and inside in the urethra, Then he did all the markings and had me check to make sure I liked it. Then he inserted the receiving tube which was a little bit uncomfortable. Once he got it lined up he got the needle ready and told me to take a deep breath and in the needle went. He used a 12g needle and it let you know what was going on but it wasn't that bad. Then he inserted the taper to take it to 10g and this was the worst part. It took three good pushes to get it through and the jewelry in and I was squeezing the hand rails really hard. Im not going to lie it hurt but it stopped within about a minute and then it was fine. Unless your a total wus its bearable.
At that point I was the proud owner of a new 10g PA. He had me wait for a minute just to make sure it wouldn't bleed any and made sure I was ok. After about 3 minutes I got up and put my shorts back on. He gave me the aftercare stuff and a bottle of provon and wished me luck. I tipped him 10 bucks which I find appropriate, dont forget to tip the piercer besides if you tip it will hurt less. I hung around for a little and talked to one of the artist about a tattoo. I left and went home about an hour later and haven't had any problems with it at all. It does burn a little to piss but the more water you drink the better it is. It bleed a couple of drops the first night and a little more while I was sleeping but not even enough to get on my underwear. The second day it was the same a couple of drops and that was it. Today is day 3 and nothing. It hurts a little when it rubs on the clothing but its not bad. Just make sure to follow after care and do the sea salt soaks, they help a lot. Also you can use your urine to clean it while you piss since urine is sterile and helps a lot to get it to heal. That is one reason PA's tend to heal the fastest of all genital piercings.
I plan on stretching it to about 2g in the future once its healed. But for anyone who wants to get one I saw do it and make sure they do the pierce stretch to help prevent the bleeding, it really does work.
