What I lack in years of experience I make up in number of piercings. I've only been into piercings for about 13 months now and in that time I've gotten 14, 2 have since been retired and one was forced into an early removal due to social circumstances. What I keep now are my three sets of lobe piercings 12g 10g 8g, septum 10g, large lip ring 10g, eyebrow 16g, and my two PA's 10gs.
At A Glance Author Saico Contact Saico@bme.anon Artist Michael Studio Trilogy Location Memphis, TN With the exception of my gunned ears and cartilage, all since removed or modified to cease being shitty, all of my piercings have been done by Michael at Trilogy. Michael first suggested the 2nd PA right before I got my first one done and since I thought i was crazy enough to risk getting the first one done, I politely declined the invitation. My first PA healed completely in three weeks and then survived its first real test when my girlfriend came to visit me at college. I've never had a problem with it and I healed it in difficult circumstances. i run cross country and I couldn't afford to take time off. I actually ran a 13 mile run the day after i got my first one done. Several months later, after i got my labret and septum pierced in one sitting, I got to thinking about the deep PA. I've gone through the worst non-cartilage piercings, so why not go with the second PA. When I returned to Trilogy, it's almost a weekly habit now, I asked Michael about it and he told me that we could go through with it whenever I felt like it. The only problem was that I didn't have the time to go through the healing of it. I'd decreased the mileage i was running for track, but increased the intensity and it seemed like this would make for a painful several weeks.
The problem with waiting until the summer was that i live in Lousiana, several states away for the geographically challenged and at that time I was without enough money to fly and without a car to drive. I got back to my room, called my former boss up and informed him of my fairly radical transformation and asked about my former job, i put grass down. I work damn hard in Louisiana heat with no complaints so he said i was cool and i then secured a week of vacation time in late June. When i returned to Trilogy, i set a date with Michael and told him that i was coming up on my vacation time, I am damn loyal.
Anyway, when it came time to leave college and head home, my mom drove up to pick me up. Having not seen me or really talked to me, we fight almost constantly, she was rather surprised to see me. Surprised not being the right word, it was probably something more like the explosion of mount st.helen. Somehow, i'm still not sure how, I ended up on excellent terms with my family and managed to secure the car for my vacation.
Things seemed pretty good until three days before my vacation. To keep this short, i wrecked the car and had to shell out the money to take the train with my girlfriend and cut my vacation short by about three days. It sucked, but I got to Memphis and stephanie, a friend who was putting my up for the 4 days i'd be there, picked us up. I got to Trilogy and waited around until Michael had a spare moment, saturdays are always pretty busy for them. We talked to Erica for awhile since it'd been a couple of months since we'd been around and then went into the back. I told my girlfriend to stay in the waiting room because i didn't want the first of my piercings she'd seen to be this one. I talked to michael about it and we decided on a 12g ring, but in hind sight i wished we'd gone with a curved barbell instead. we planned to stretch it to a 10g later on to match the other one. Despite most of what I've read, rings have always prolonged healing time with me and I've found no real advantage in cleaning with them. they tend to get bumped alot more too.
Michael had everything prepared for me when i got back there and so I pulled my pants down, i waived bye bye to modesty a long time ago, and sat down. He took out the first PA and put a dot quite a bit further down my shaft. I remember him telling me that my urethra was stretched a bit so it was easier to put the receiving tube in then he told me that to take a deep breathe and let it out and then he shoved the needle through.
It hurt alot, but pain is simply the price we way for living. i was just surprised that it hurt so much more than the first one since that one didn't hurt at all. i actually held a conversation with a friend while he did my first one. He told me to use the same method of cleaning that i'd been using, clean it three times a day with provon and avoid playing with it. I told him thanks and we took off.
The first night was pretty eventful, i wore briefs becuase i didn't want my penis to move if i turned in the night. The first night was a little bleeding, which was about the same amount as my first PA and the standard painful urination which lasts about a week. the following morning though was a definitely different. my underwear was all blood and leave it to girls to make fun of you when your covered in blood. the reason for the difference was probably because i was sleeping next to my girlfriend during this one when i slept in a cold lonely dorm room the first time. anyway, i wore boxers the following night and slept on the floor, this worked but i recomend kicking your girlfriend on the floor instead. she will have no sympathy for you and want to try out the new toy.
after a couple of weeks, i started doing salt water soaks and cut back on the provon and healing went pretty well. Wearing briefs during the day helps alot because the added support will keep it from getting knocked around. my biggest problem is my girlfriend and i never let it heal completely before we started having sex agian. after awhile, i just got used to the pain of having it. LET THE DAMN THING HEAL. It'll sting like a bitch and always be irritating if you never leave it alone. mine didn't really heal until i went back off to college. Now that it's completely healed and since stretched with no complication, it's been great and alot of fun.
