Mine was way easier than that, and there was virtually no blood. I started with 12 gauge, waited for it to fully heal, then took several weeks to stretch 10ga, 8ga, then 6ga. I'm stopping there.
I don’t know what I was honestly expecting and although extremely mild in internet terms, I suddenly have a piercing phobia .
That looked like a pretty normal piercing to me. My PA was done rather differently, very quick and painless with almost no blood. Over many weeks stretched it to 8mm.
Yea it was a bit hard to watch. I'd say though that getting one isn't that bad if you have a good piercer. Just lay back and breathe.
Too funny. I have a dreaded fear of needles. But I love piercings. Like many kinks there is a pleasure/pain deal going. If you can just relax it can be quite enjoyable. We found a really cool piercer. Actually my previous piercer was cool too, but this one is also a lot of fun and very friendly. So we really like her. And what guy doesn't like being in a room with his better half and another attractive lady playing his his private bits!
I have a PA piercing and it didn’t look as scary as this. But I did love how he was distracted. I want to get a reverse PA and I need to be distracted like this.
I may go this route in the not too distant future, given that I haven't had great luck with comfort and ball-trap devices. I remember when I got my nipples pierced. I took my girlfriend at the time along. She was really wigged out by the whole thing and said she didn't want to see me getting metal put in my body ever again.
That’s said. My ex and I went to get her nipples pierced. We had a great time. She then had me get a Dydoe. And while that was so painful it was a lot of fun. My current SO went when I got my nipples and Prince Albert and had a blast. We’ve since been back to get her nipples done. Again we had fun as our piercer is amazing. Everyone is different. But it can be fun. A good piercer with a great personality and attitude like ours, and the right people makes a huge difference.
I have nothing but praise for the piercing shop (Infinite in Philadelphia) and piercer (so long ago I forget who) who did the piercing. It's just that I'm older (57 now, 39 when I got the piercings) and she was older still (she'd be 60 if she were still with us). We were on opposite sides of the Boomer/Gen-X divide. Piercing was still a pretty edgy thing back in my day. It became less so as the '90s wore on.
