It all began let's say...like a week ago. I was looking at BME ritual piercing section, there were lots of photographs (more since I have my IAM page!) and I started wondering how it could be to perform a play piercing session, the feelings that would arise inside my mind during the session, how could I go against my reflexes ( I was thinking of piercing myself, I've had pierced myself before...but never with a playing or ritual way)...how my body would respond to needles...with no more further questions in my mind i decided that soon it was going to be the day, a day that I was very sure I would never forget... the first time I would use my body as a toy...to play.
At A Glance Author Wild Skin Contact wildskinpiercing@hotmail.com IAM wild skin When A week ago Artist Juan Manuel Burgos (wild skin) Studio Wild Skin Body Piercing Location Bahia Blanca Days passed trough, let' say 4 days, I asked some friends of mine, that practiced this before not in their selves but in others bodies, some doubts I had. I was very concerned about which kind of needles should I use, and how deep should needles go. Also I asked them some other things to take into account, like risks and what to do if something goes wrong. All of them helped me and agreed in one thing, take lots of pics!!!...and that's what I exactly did, obviously during I was enjoying the pleasure of feeling needles, and the sensation of blood running over my arm and the taste of my blood.
November the 25th a great day here...sun...a bit of wind...it all seemed that it was now or never. All was set to start, needles (I used 18 Ga needles), marker, gloves, gauze in case anything goes wrong, and of course...the camera ready to take pictures of, as I think, one of the best sensation I have ever experienced with my body. after Make-Up done by Mariana, we fixed some details with Gaston, who helped me to perform the piercings, he held my skin for me so I could pass needles through without any complication. before we could realise, all was in its right place, and...let the party begin!!! First needle...background progressive music...everyone was staring (a bit of tension could be felt in the air, not by me... by my friends)...breath...and...needle in!!!! I did not felt anything, though sensation (not pain, 'cause it doesn't hurts) increased a bit with final piercings. Some photos were taken when the first two needles were in and also during I was piercing, and me, of course... enjoying as hell!!!
A few moments later almost all needles were in, 12 they were, not much, but it was all i could afford by that time( financial situation does not help here). when all was done we finished some details with Make-Up (it was a bit erased because of gloves) and started to take some photos, some with a bit of art (I said to Mariana to write Pierce 'em All in my other arm)...and others just for fun and pleasure(like the ones playing with blood). Time passed, I had the needles about 20 minutes...I felt like the zone was numb, like if nothing was there under my skin, so I tried how it would feel touching the area were needles were, it's strange, it feels like if you were touching something with relieve and you can only sense it with your finger...I moved needles and I felt absolutely nothing...some itchiness...my body wanted me to take needles out, but my mind was enjoying the sensation a lot!!! so I waited a few minutes more, at about 30 minutes I said to my friends...be ready for b lood!!! I hade never experienced something similar. I took needles out, even though needles were thin...some blood drops started to fall over my arm, while others started to drip, I performed a bit of blood play with me, licking it, staining myself...enjoying it...feeling it...damn is fun playing with blood!!! of course for all of you who want them, there'll be some pics of this too.
Finally, after one of the funniest and magnificent hours of my life ever ( of course using my body as a mean of pleasure), I cleaned my arm , my body...but not my mind...some is inside my brain, inside me...the feeling of doing it one more time!!!, the need of feeling the sensation of needles and try to explain it . Just to enjoy again that beautiful sensation that moves around your body, starting were you put the needle, flowing along your body, reaching your mind, freeing lots of adrenaline!. And for all of you that are not decided yet, hope my story can help you do it safely...and if you're ready for it...go and do it!!!
