Hi Guys n gals,now have my magic cross, self pierced Friday afternoon, when I did my Apadravya last May I used numbing cream,this time I used the same cream ,made sure everything was sterile, marked up where I wanted to put my ampallang to complete magic cross, clamped up over marks I made ,fastened a bit of para cord over end of clamps,hooked paracord on tap, stretched on it, pushed 6g (4mm) peircing needle straight in thro glans,ureathea,glans, needed a bit of a push,slid in 34mm long 6 g (4mm) barbell, released clamp and quickly applied ball ends, when I did my apadravya may 2024 there was little blood, this time doing the ampallang it bleed drip drip ,I applied a allways sanitary pad and put a medical glove over, within 20 mins all the glove fingers had filled with blood,sounds a lot but really was not, removed glove, sat down on the stool and messed on my phone for a while, the blood stopped dripping, so I replaced sanitary pad and glove and just chilled for the rest of the day, at bedtime I replaced pad again and taped 2 pads on with micropore,to have a piddle it stung but nothing I could,nt bear, wife said put a towel in bed so doubled up a bath sheet and lay on it,in the morning again changed pad but there was very little blood on,sunday no blood at all so late Sunday night started salt soaks, all going well now ,Mrs says it looks good and looking forward to trying it out, not yet thro wife hold yer horses lol,I'm not a young fella I'm 61 but I should of done this years ago, love the feel of it, aches no where near as much as when I did apadravya, I would just like to say this is how I've done it but you should consider a professional piercer.
