Finally after months if not years of this big debate I finally went and took the plunge. I went down to Hot Rod Piercing on the south side of Pittsburgh to get my wiener pierced. Nervous? Yep. The actual procedure wasnt all that bad at all. The receiving tube didnt bother me. According to my piercer, I didnt even flintch when the needle went through. (I couldnt watch)I went with a 10 gauge ring with the recommendation from the piercer. I did expect some bleeding, but nothing like what happened. I bled like a stuck pig with this piercing. Finally it slowed down, and there was minimal bleeding overnight. The first time I took a leak, it wasnt all that bad, just an ever so slight burning, nothing I couldnt handle. It's been two days now and it's just a little bit sore. The overall piercing does feel fantastic. Recommendation: go for it but expect the unexpected such as bleeding.
