The story of my Prince Albert started in August of 02'. Well really it started about two years before that. When I was eighteen, I saw a picture of one on BME. I thought it was the piercing that I had always been looking for. As most guys normally are I was not really into putting a hole in my penis. As time went on and I got more into body modification I began to want it more and more.

Studio Infinite Body PIercing Location Philly After about a year off reading about the Prince Albert and other male genital piercings I decided the Price Albert was the one for me. I did as much research as I could. Including talking to about 15 guys who already has theirs done. Also I talked to a good amount of piercers. So the big day comes. A friend and I took a trip to Ocean City, Md. We went to "Pit Bull Body Piercing" I talked to the guy about the piercing and he said that he did do them. After asking him the price he said he could only do it with a ten gauge and it would cost me one hundred and twenty five dollars plus tip. So I decided not to get it done there.
After that day I did not think about getting it done for a while. It just totally slipped my mind. When Mystic Realm came to GeorgeTown, De I got to know Heather the piercer there. She became my piercer. When I asked her about the Prince Albert she told me that she did not do them but if I was willing to go to Philly I could get it done at a place called "Infinite". I had never heard of the place before. My friend Bill said that they were very good and I began to notice that a lot of people from IAM BME had been there. So I decided to take the trip.
So one day my girlfriend and I drove three and a half hours to Philly. On the way there I was getting very nervous. The fact that I was about to get a hole put through my penis was starting to sink in. When we got there I paid the dude and had to wait for about ten minutes. While I was waiting I looked around at all the really nice jewelry they had. One of the guys that was working there must I have really been having a bad day cause he was causing and screaming. Well he went storming and another guy came up to me as was like I'll be doing your piercing cause "blank" went home.
So we get into the piercing room and the first thing the guy says is "Relax I have been doing this for ten years, you have nothing to worry about". That made me feel much better. Well next I had to pull my pants down and take a seat. He took about minutes to clean and mark the piercing area. The first hoop that he had picked up was way to small. So my girlfriend had to say something about it. Then he decided to use a ¾" 8 gauge cbr.
With everything cleaned, marked, and ready it was time to be pierced. He slid the receiving tube into my urethra. Which was no were near as uncomfortable as I thought it was going to be. He placed the needle against the spot where he had marked. With a quick push the needle was through the skin and into the receiving tube. Last he slid the needle out and the cbr into place. After cleaning everything back off he rapped it up in some gauze and rubber banded a glove around it. The next thing I knew was that I was on my way with a brand new Prince Albert piercing and very happy that I went through with it.
About a week later I realized that the ¾" 8 gauge cbr was too small in diameter. I needed a 7/8" 8 gauge cbr. I spent a whole weekend looking for one so that I did not have to go all the way back to Philly for one. All I could find was a one inch 8 gauge cbr. So I got it. After a week of wearing it I got tired of it cause it moved around too much. I went back to wearing the ¾" 8 gauge cbr. I did not know at the time but this was going to be a very good thing when it comes to stretching it.
After having the Prince Albert for about 3 months I decided that I was going to stretch it. I got a bunch of old jewelry to see about what size I was going to be able to fit. So I tried a 6 gauge and it slid in with ease. Then a 4 gauge and again it slid in with ease. Last I tried a 2 gauge 7/8" cbr and it was a perfect fit. I was so shocked that I had gone from an 8 gauge to a 2 gauge in one jump. I later learned that the small diameter of the hoop caused the skin to pull and stretch while I was erect.
Well it has been about 7 months since I got my Prince Albert done. To this day it is one of my favorite piercings. I think that I would like to take it to a O gauge one day.
