I initially got into play piercing in about September 1999 after watching someone perform on a friend of mine. It gave me such a rush I decided to learn more about it. The fist picture here is of my wife adorned with needles, the rest are of a friend of ours named Tiffany.

  After being trained how to play pierce safely and properly, I tried it on my then sub, and found that I really liked it and found it gave me an even bigger rush doing it myself. As for doing it ON myself. I couldn’t. I'm afraid of needles!  Ironic for someone who enjoys play piercing.  For me, when I play pierce, it gives me such a rush that my body shakes. I enjoy watching the piercee's face and body language with each and every needle I slip into their skin.  If I don’t get any reaction, I then stick the next needle a little deeper. :) 

  I've played with as few as 6-8 needles, and have gone as high as 24 needles.  To date, my play piercing has been restricted to the chest area around the breasts.  I soon plan on trying it on the lower torso (inner thighs, buttocks), and also on the back of the shoulders.  It usually takes anywhere from 20 to 30 minutes to place the needles, and about 5 to 10 minutes remove them. When Play Piercing I wear a latex glove on the hand that I use to pinch the skin, but I don’t wear one on the other hand simply because it allows me better feel for, and control of my needle. The needles usually remain in the skin for about 5 to 10 minutes.  For me, removing the needles is the biggest rush. Again, I wear only one latex glove on the hand that I use to apply pressure to the skin.  An alcohol swab is used to apply pressure to the area for a number of reasons. One is that I know that it provides a stinging sensation, and it also insures the area is sterile. Removing the needles slowly also inflicts a nice stinging sensation. Removing the needles without applying any pressure will cause a small droplet of blood to appear... a sight I personally enjoy.  Afterwards I always clean the area well with alcohol to avoid the possibility of infection. 

  When the needles are removed they are immediately capped and deposited in a safe Biohazard container. These can then be disposed of properly either at a hospital or clinic. Most will dispose of them for you without charge or question, simply to avoid the chance of the needles falling into the hands of children or other unsuspecting persons.

  Here is a list of supplies you should always have on hand when Play Piercing.

1) 22 gauge hypodermic needles (recommended)
2) Alcohol swabs
3) Latex gloves
4) Gauze pads
5) Band-aids
6) A disposal BIOHAZARD container for the needles.

 WARNING:    Play Piercing is NOT something to be done without first being trained by an experienced piercing artist. All piercing requires sterile preparation and proper aftercare to avoid infection.
