Happy fathers day to me. I have been checking out this piercing for some time after my wife came home from a trip to Italy and informed me it was all the rage in Europe. She spiked my curiosity and I was off.After doing all the research which I recommend; so there are no surprises, I decided it was something I was going to do on my own. I wasn't real fond of the idea of someone else holding onto my manhood except my wife and of course ME.Today was the day! I came home from work the kids were working and my wife was off to dinner with friends; I was left to fen for myself.I got my glass of wine and collected all of my tools ( I previously ordered online) and headed for the bathroom. Trying to keep everything where I needed it and in place as not to contaminate anything (you know sterile procedure while you pierce your own dick). I had already done some practice runs with the receiving tube and knew where I was going to pierce checking to make sure I wouldn't hit a vein and bleed to death.Well much to my surprise even though I knew this had the potential to be a bloody procedure I went forward, lined everything up and in I went with needle (totally painless REALLY)but the blood came like a fountain. Now here I am buck naked (Thank you or I would have had a mess not only EVERYWHERE) but on my clothes too and the blood was going everywhere. I thought when these kids come home there going to think I killed the cat or something. So I have the needle sticking out of my penis and cleaning the floor, the sink, the shower curtain (you get the picture)at the same time.Well after all this while trying to stop the bleeding I push the needle completely through and I didn't get the ring in. And I thought no way am I going to all this trouble and not get this done, so with all this mess I picked up the ring and in it went no problem.The biggest problem after was getting on the bead; but it went, the bathroom cleaned up and the piercing looks and feels great. Go for it
