Like a few other people with PA's, 'normal' piercings like ears, nose, mouth etc. have never really appealed to me but having something out of the ordinary, yet private, like a PA really got me interested. Of course I'd thought about having a PA on and off for probably a year or two but I started to consider it more seriously at the end of September and doing more research to see what it felt like, how painful it was and so on. Tribalectic and it's excellent Experiences and Pictures sections really helped with this!

Have wanted PA for a long time, so last November I had 12g done here in Brisbane Australia. Last week went from 6g to 4g 3/4 inch circular barbell. Not sure if I'm going to 2g yet. I'm 63. Wish I'd done it years ago!!!!

For years I had wanted a price albert but was too nervous to tell my wife. Finally, after dropping hints and bombshells all over the place, she said, "You might as well just go ahead and get it because you know you won't be happy until you do so!" I walked back and forth outside the shop and finally got the courage to go in. I'm very conservative looking, so the clerk behind the counter not only eyed me as I approached, but when I confidently came and said that I'd like a prince albert, I thought she was going to fall off the stool.

The idea of a genital piercing was one that I had thought of when I turned 45. It took me a year but I finally got the nerve to go ahead with it while vacationing in Saratoga Springs NY this summer. I went online to see what Tattoo parlors they had in the Saratoga area and found four withing walking distance of each other. I did some research and decided to pay each parlor a visit. The first place I walked in a walked right out. It was dark and gloomy and quite frankly, scared the s!#&@ of of me.

I never thought I would get any type of piercing, let alone a genital piercing. I couldn't imagine why any guy would "let" someone stick a needle through their penis. My wife, on the other hand, had wanted to get a genital piercing for some time, but I couldn't imagine someone else touching her genitals either.

Then one night while out with some friends, the genital piercings came up in the conversation. A friend was talking about an old roomate with a piercing. My wife was enthralled in the conversation.

I have wanted a PA for many years but never had the nerve to go through with it, I have no other piercings or tattoos. I found this website and the experiences posted convinced me that I should just do it. So about 6 hours ago I did.
I went to Platinum Tattoo and Piercing (Perrin Beitel & 410) in San Antonio. The shop is real clean. Mingo listened to and answered all my questions. He took me and my friend into a room and I dropped trou. I did not watch the procedure. We had decided that I would be getting a 10g horseshoe or circle barbell.

About two months ago, I decided I was so close to an 0g for my PA that I would stretch the piercing to 0 g. I got a correct taper...lots of nerve and then slowly worked the taper through with a 1/2 curved barbell. It eventually went in, but I must say that it was not "pain free or blood free." There was a bit of bleed not much, but a bit. I also have to say I had a hell of a sweat going too...wow. That jump from 2g to 0g is huge and to say that that is just a couple of millimeters.....wow.

48 year old whose wanted a PA since I first saw one on a bloke at the gym 15 years ago but always to afraid to break out and do something that might be a bit different. Big mistake. Went to the piercing studio in Toowoomba in April and made the appointment. The piercer talked for awhile about the process and the after care then took me into the room and told me to strip of the jeans and underwear. after carefully cleaning the glans she marked the spot and showed me that because of the way my penis is made that it would be slightly of centre.

Want to write my experience here because it was from readinll the support and stories here that made me decide to go for it and I did.
I had always wanted it done but its one of those things where you always imagine the very worst but in reality it is pretty painless and not a big ordeal at all so if like me you are thinking about it then " go for it"
I live in the UK and went to Dave Ross tattoo studio in Colchester.
The piercer " Sam " was brilliant and soon put me at ease.

I'm a 33 y/o straight man who's never had a piercing before - not even an earlobe. But for a long time I'd wanted a PA, just never got the nerve to do it.

Finally figured you only live once, if I don't do it now I never will. So after much online research I found the place with the best reputation in Houston (Taurian) and made an appointment. Just calling to say "I want to get a prince albert" was scary.

Anyway, about 2 hours ago I went and got it done. Byriah, the owner and lead piercer, was great and made me very comfortable during the whole procedure, answering all my questions.
