I first found out about body piercing some years ago whilst looking through a friend's copy of the magazine "Body Art". As soon as I saw the male genital piercings, I knew I had to have one. I liked the thought of a prince Albert ring coming out of my dick and used to fantasize about how it would feel.

One afternoon I plucked up the courage to phone for details but I was too nervous to book an appointment. When some months later I was prepared to call in the clinic, I found it had closed. I was so disappointed as I didn't know where else I could go.
Eventually I found out about the London Piercing Centre. I phoned and asked a few preliminary questions which I remembered reading in the magazine, such as what sterilising system they used. I was told an autoclave. I also asked if they were registered with the Local Health Authority. They were. It turned out that I didn't need an appointment so I made my way to London and turned up!
I was rather nervous when I first went through the door as I did not know what to expect. I found myself in a waiting room, quite comfortable. Some other clients were there just about to leave, nothing could have seemed more ordinary. A secretary fixed me up with a cup of tea. Eventually Patrick, the piercer came and had a chat with me before inviting me into his piercing room. I stepped in thinking, "this is it, I've made it. No turning back now!" "What would you like done?" he asked. "A prince Albert," I replied, no doubt in my mind.
I slipped down my trousers and sat on the chair. I was nervous about getting an erection; when I asked Patrick if this mattered he said it didn't make the slightest difference. That helped me feel more relaxed. He examined my dick to see where to do the piercing. I am uncut so I wasn't sure where he would place the piercing. He eventually decided to do it just slightly to the right to avoid a blood vessel. He asked me if that was OK. I said yes and lay back on the chair. After a preliminary rubbing with iodine, he injected the tip of my dick with a little anaesthetic. I hardly felt anything at all, just a slight prick. It took a few minutes for numbness to set in, then it was all systems go. The needle had gone into my dick before I realised it. I didn't feel a thing. I hadn't even looked which is a pity as I wanted to see exactly what was going on. When I did look, I saw the needle sticking through the hole in my dick and coming out the side. I couldn't help getting excited at the thought that I would soon have a ring there! After stretching the hole slightly and waiting another minute or two, he inserted the jewellery, closed it up and that was it - there was a ring in my dick! Then came the rubber glove treatment. I wasn't expecting this but I could see why it was a good idea in case of any bleeding (there wasn't in my case). I must say that my tool was really erect by then and straining away inside that glove!
The first few nights I was told to sleep with an old towel on the bed in case of bleeding. This alarmed me rather but I needn't have worried because I didn't have any bleeding at all. I bathed the piercing in saline solution each day as Patrick had suggested and applied dilute tea-tree oil which was supplied by the Centre. After the anaesthetic had worn off, I found that the piercing was sorest in the first week, particularly if I had an erection in tight trousers or in the middle of the night. Several times I woke in the night having lain awkwardly on the ring. This continued for some weeks before eventually the slight swelling around the piercing went away.
I found healing took a little while because my body didn't seem to be able to tolerate the surgical steel. When I contacted Patrick about this, he suggested replacing it with titanium and immediately the healing process speeded up. Because of this allergy, my healing took longer, about 4 months. It was an anxious time for me because I couldn't just call into the Centre for advice and I began to wonder if it was ever going to heal. Eventually it did and then came the fun! I could play with it, pull it, just enjoy it! I even tried taking the ring out to practise replacing it, though I dare not leave it out for too long in case the hole closed up. Now I'd like to get it stretched up and I have my eye on some really chunky jewellery. I have thought about having other piercings but I'm really happy with my PA. I'd recommend it to anybody!
