One night i was home alone looking at pics on google of tattoos and piercings. I came across this site and was reading the experiences where people were saying self piercing ur lorum was hardly painful. I began to think. Prior to this i already had both ears and my eyebrow pierced (not self done) and was thinking of getting my nipple done (much to my parents disgresion). My older sister is a nurse, and comes home with all sorts of things in her pockets. I had seen some unopened sterolised cathetor needles in her room, so i opened one up to see how thick they were. they were approx 12gauge in piercing terms. (perfect for me). i returned to my room, researched how to pierce myself a little more on the net, and decided the time was now or never. i washed my hands, put on a set of gloves and opened a new needle. i got a pen n marked the spot i wanted it done. i grabbed the needle and pushed it through. there was a stinging pain, but it didnt hurt. i grabbed a barbell that i had used for my eyebrow, soaked itin dettol and hot water, pulled the needle out and began to push the barbell through the hole. However, the needle lost its path and i couldnt get it through (the fact i was shaking so much didnt help). i eventually gave up and decided to try another day. a few weeks past and i decided this time i wouldnt stop till it was done. i chose the spot i wanted it, grabbed a new needle and did the same as before, but this time i did what the piercers do (use my other hand to follow the needle through with the barbell. this worked, out popped the end of the bar on the other side. i screwed it up and was pleased with my success. it has been 2 weeks since i did this and there has been no complications of infection. feels like its not even there. after i finished piercing myself, i poked a new needle around to see which areas of my genitalia were painful to put a needle through. i found that my frenum was not painful (i poked the needle through half way but decided to do it another time). i will be doing my frenum, a second lorum and possibly the "pubic" area (this also didnt hurt when i poked the needle around). i know im crazy for that but i shave my pubic hair and think it would look rad to do that. i am only 16 years old by the way..Thanks for reading.
