This page is the prime focus of this site; a chronological listing of my piercings coupled with my experience of that piercing. If you're considering having one of these piercings done, I hope this helps. If you've had one of these piercings done, how was it for you?

All my piercings have been done by Teena Maree. I simply wouldn't be happy with anyone else. Just like with a doctor, dentist, massage therapist, whatever, anyone who has to get into physical contact with you, the choice of a piercer and the trust you build up is essential. Teena used to pierce at Into You in St. John's Street, London. She's now at Sacred Art in Stoke Newington. Check out the FAQs at the Rabbit Hole for more info ....

nipples

My nipples were permanently pierced almost 5 years ago. If you've already read the "why?" page, then you'll probably understand this.

They didn't hurt as much as I thought they would. In fact the clamping probably hurt more, but then again, I'm not alone in this. Teena told me to breathe out, in, out, in, out, HEY! I didn't actually watch, but I felt a bit of tugging as the bcr pushed the needle through. Repeat performance on the other and Teena told me "there, you're pierced". And I was. I looked in the mirror. Wow. My next thought was "Yes. this is right. This is what I want". And it was.

Healing was trouble free. That was probably down to a good aftercare regime but I'm certain it was also due in the main to a capable, confident and professional piercer. Thanks Teena.

Afterwards? A definate increase in sensitivity and in size. My nipples were never exactly small before they were pierced and I suppose you could say that now they're quite large for a man. Do I care? They're wonderful, they look great, they feel great, my girlfriend loves 'em. What else can you ask for?

My first genital piercing and one which fights for second place with my amp in terms of feeling and sensation. But in terms of visual effect it wins out over my amp hands down.

The strangest part of having this piercing down was having the guide tube inserted into the end of my dick. Teena lubricated the end of the tube with some petroleum jelly and eased it up into place. Gentle pressure was applied which stretched the skin on the underside of my dick where the needle would emerge. It looked wierd and felt wierder. For "stimulation not laceration" reasons, the guage of the needle and the subsequent bcr was much larger than those used for my nipples and I was a little unsure as soon as I saw the needle and ring.

The actual piercing hurt, but only for a split second and I'm convinced that half of this was all in the mind because of the needle's guage. I felt the bcr being inserted more that I felt the needle.

But when I looked down and saw by newly decorated dick it was amazing. I think of all the male genital piercings the PA looks so damn good. It still does, some four and a half years later.

Healing was quick. Peeing stung for a couple of days immediately afterwards but that was about all. I held off for a week before "trying it out". Wow. It makes a difference. You just feel this kind of "whanggggg" sensation. OK, so it's almost impossible to describe without feeling it for yourself.

The peeing question? OK, so I sit down but that's no big deal and I've learnt that a litle bit of finger pressure in the right place and I can pee standing up - in emergencies. That's the only down side to this piercing and visually and sexually it more than makes up for it. To anyone complemplating a PA I have only two words to offer - GET ONE.

frenum

I don't really know why I had this piercing. Maybe as a precursor to my amp? Maybe because I really wanted my amp and chicken'd out? I can't really remember and it doesn't really matter. The piercing was simple. It stung a bit. It healed fine.

Out of all of my piercings, if I had to loose one it would be my frenum. The piercing stretched itself of its' own accord and I've had to upsize the guage of the barbell twice. It doesn't really add anything, either visually or sexually, it's just there.

Easy. Simple. Didn't feel it. Healed in three weeks. That's it.

Let's get one thing straight. I love my amp. I wouldn't trade it for anything. But would I have it again? No way; this is just not open to discussion.

Teena and I discussed this piercing for some time before we actually started the preparation. She wanted to be absolutely, totally sure that it was what I wanted.

After marking the entry and exit points of the piercing, choosing the right length barbell and, of course, the clamping, Teena was ready. Was I? No. This was a major piercing. Was I nervous? Damn right. I took a deep breath, nodded and Teena began.

It probably only took 10 seconds for the piercing and maybe 5 for the insertion of the barbell. It could have been minutes, hours, hell, days for all I knew. Normally, at least for me, a piercing is over in a flash. You get to feel the jewellery go in and then it's over bar the endorphin rush and the satisfaction.

Not this time.

I felt every single millimetre of progress of the needle. IT HURT. I felt every single millimetre of the progress of the barbell. IT HURT.

As I sat there, I couldn't even move. Not even enough to glance down to see my new piercing. All I could feel was this vast sensation which covered the entirety of my lower body. It felt like I was having a blowtorch played over me; the sensation of heat was indescribable. So I won't try. It took at least 5 minutes before I was aware of any distinct sensation and probably 15 minutes before I could even open my eyes and say anything other than "fuck fuck fuck" which Teena later told me I had been saying throughout the piercing.

I looked down and thought, "shit, what have I done? you've pushed it too far this time". The head of my dick seemed to be crushed flat and this massive barbell protruded, grossly out of proportion.

By the time I got home though, my dick was regained more or less normal shape and I only got a twinge of pain if I moved too quickly. I slept on my back that night ...

Healing time was slow, over a year all told, but I persevered.

Did it hurt?

Yes.

Would I give my amp up?

No.

Would I have trusted anyone other than Teena to perform this piercing?

No.

Does it make a difference to sex?

Yes. Yes. Yes.

Would I do it again?

No.

Was it worth it?

Yes.

next?

So, what's next? Maybe a pair of hafadas, maybe a double nipple pierce, maybe a pair of double nipple pierces, maybe nothing more. My girlfriend, soon to be my fiancee, is quite happy with my piercings and is considering one for herself, probably a belly button. But any more, I dunno. Has the bug been beaten? Only time will tell ...
