I got my PA about a year and three months ago. I am still not sure if it was the best idea I have ever had. At the time I was still in high school and of course the most extreme piercing anyone had was a tongue or navel, and one girl with her nipples, but other than that it was high school. As soon as I told my friend Steph about my idea for a PA the hype was on. She was the resident piercing guru for our class, being as she had a lot of stuff already done. She was probably way more excited than me about the whole idea and had a million suggestions. The only problem with her excitement was that she soon spread the word to many other people that I knew, to the point that random people were approaching me in the hall and asking, "Are you for real?" etc. My penis had more hype around it than it probably ever will again. So with that came my 18th birthday and my promise to my mom that nothing would happen before then.
At A Glance Author Bill Contact fuksh1tup@hotmail.com When A year ago Artist Luis Studio Infinite Location Philly, PA It was a cold, cold day in January when it was to go down. I ate breakfast and got ahold of Steph and was off. I got stuck in traffic so I was about 2 hours later than I had planned on being and got to eat very little. This would be a killer. We parked a block away and I was crazy nervous about the impending events. When it came time to get down to business though, I was down, payed my fee, and went in the back, not before getting a hug and kiss good luck from my Steph.
Then came the fun part. A guy named Luis who had actually come highly recommended told me to drop my pants and sit down. It was at this time I realized that the combination of the Philadelphia January and the nervousness inside me had turned my penis into a scared little turtle head. Luis was very supportive and let me know that I was doing good. He was probably lying but it was nice of him to try anyway. Then it was on to the actual procedure. First he cleaned everything, then marked, then the goddamn receiving tube. It did not hurt but it had to be the most uncomfortable feeling ever. I had my eyes closed from that point on. Then he asked if I wanted him to explain it first or just do it and explain it as he went. I told him just to do it...now. Deep breath in...and out and bliggity blow. I thought I had it, my first piercing, no problem, but then as he was sliding the ring through I passed out. It was only about 5 seconds but it made me mad and I felt bad bec ause i did not want to be more work for him. He already had to touch my penis for christ's sake. I did not need juice or anything but I did need a good shaking which Luis kindly provided.
That is probably the part I will remember the most. I learned that you really should eat within 4 hours of getting a piercing, because I did not and I was out like a light. But I definitely thought I had it. I was done with the tube and the needle and everything else but I got the feeling in the back of my head and on my neck and I knew I was done for. It wasn't that bad though because passing out actually feels amazing, natural high i guess. When I woke up I looked down and saw lots of blood and a glove and was a little scared but knew I had just done something very special in my life. I rode home feeling sore and embarassed but it was definitely cool and I was satisfied with my new piercing and myself for going through with it. The next few days were a little hard, waking up on my stomach when I had fallen asleep on my back and realizing that I was hurting quite a bit, trickling blood all day long, wearing gauze to school, and peeing sitting down...a lot. I also dr eaded the thought of an erection and was mad at myself anytime i got one, because it hurt just that little bit more. Now, that is definitely not the case.
Needless to say I was out of commission for a good two weeks to be safe but it is definitely all good now. Every time I see it I feel like a conquered a little something and made my body a little cooler. I definitely like my decision. From there I have gone to many other piercings and a couple tattoos but my PA will always be old number 1.
