Getting a reverse Prince Albert...
using a Casio QV-10 digital stills camera.

Mark at Into You did the piercing.
And, yes boys and girls, this hurt like hell!!!!!!!
Marking up. Mark cleans the area and carefully marks the entry hole after
explaining the anatomy of the area to me. The middle section of the glans
where he will pierce is mainly a spongy bag of blood-filled bubbles...
or something. Ugh.
Fitting the receiving tube. This was pretty uncomfortable!
The pierce was so quick you missed it! Mark is amazingly fast even though
this felt like it took forever. Mark is removing the receiving tube now...
...and fitting the ring. Again, this part was fairly uncomfortable as the
ring tends to tug slightly as it is inserted. But it's over pretty quickly
since Mark is so fast.
Just the bead to fit now.
Done!
Mark applies a little Pakua... a wonderful natural healing lotion! Apparently
its main ingredient is witchhazel which a friend of mine swears by for
healing piercings. I used it on my nipples in the early stages and it
is definitely a Good Thing(tm).
A couple of shots of the finished article!
And was I smiling throughout the entire procedure?
Er, no... I was pale and sweating like this for most of it!
But after Rachel administered some water I was smiling again...
Mark Hopkins at work... cool labret stud, huh? Nice painting on the wall too.
An interesting looking condom... gotta keep it clean.
Smiling again, on the train home...
Starting the aftercare treatment... three glasses of warm saline every day.
And, no, it isn't having a drink!
