You realize, of course, that I had to do an image search, right?
Jeebus. Owie. Did you get that from having a Prince Albert? Like, the swelling got too bad?

I could easily have someone else do it; it would cost me 30 bucks at the local piercing studio, because the piercer and I are friends. The bf won’t even hold a video camera during the procedure, though, so I know he won’t do it, which is fine.
Well, I had a CBR in there for a couple of months, and then I went to go get it changed out to a curved barbell. It took her a couple of minutes to get everything ready after she had already taken out the ring, so the hole tightened up a little, and she used a taper (of the same size as the previous and current jewelry) to open it up just a little. I think this trauma might have actually been what caused it. But from what I hear, PA’s are just harder to heal on uncut guys. Otherwise I would get another one at some point (but I’m not comfortable piercing that one myself, either.)
ETA: Why is bmeshop so gosh-darned slow? I ordered my needles like a week and a half ago and nothing! It’s almost like they’re based in Canada! I have some other sterile needles here, but I’ve heard good things about Industrial Strength (the guy who pierced my septum used one, and it went so effortlessly…), so I’m waiting on those to come in.
Never heard of Industrial Strength, but sharp is sharp, no? FWIW, the guy I used to work with used Dakota Steel.
Oh, another FWIW, I used to have a PA, but “bag” piercings are a big fat “meh” to me. Probably because it seems like most guys that have them start off with one, then they keep adding until it looks like their scrotum’s made of chain mail.
Well, I finally did it tonight. I actually had to do it twice. The first time, I tried it with a CBR, and since I’m not experienced enough to know better, I took the clamps off after the needle went though, and then the skin spread back out, and I couldn’t find the exit hole with the jewelry, even trying to follow the needle with it. So I did it again with a barbell, and everything seems to have gone alright. It’s a little crooked, though. I might redo it in a couple of weeks after I see what this one’s gonna look like healed.
Anyway, thanks for the advice, guys!
