I got my PA June 2025. Pierce did it at 10g, which I was a little disappointed with, but I'm at 6g already and looking at going to 4g soon. I got a guiche (taint) at the same time after the PA. The guiche was nothing didn't really hurt at all. I too had done sounding so the part in the urethra wasn't too bad, but I did quite a bit of "Aarrgh-ing" for the needle part, but it was over quickly a few seconds. I had brought some bladder leak pads, so didn't get a lot of bandaging. I didn't bleed much at all and didn't have any spotting after a couple days. I did get some bruising on the underside that went away within a week or so. I now have my PA locked through my chastity cage and love it. I've now been constantly locked for 25 days, neither has been off once. Highly recommend. Nipples on the other hand...ripped one of mine out on the shower door, not fun. Be careful with those. I also got a Helix in the ear for my Master to tag me with his name for me on the front and his name on the back. I like that feeling of displaying that I've been tagged out in public. No one has asked me about it, not even at the leather bar. I've become quite the piercing slut and love every minute of it.
