A new recent fascination is with needleplay and play piercings. Silk has mentioned being interested in a corset piercing, and Fox and I have discussed needles and the photographic possibilities of that for a while.
My question is, does anyone know of any good how to web sites on play piercing, and anywhere not too expensive to get supplies for it? I am running blind here since I am almost afraid to trust any of the sites I came across on my own when it comes to putting sharp bits into my pet. DominaSmartass gave me a link to a veterinary supply site for needles, which I still have somewhere. I am more curious about the equipment necessary for, say, the corset pierce or any other semi-permanent piercing.
When you say semi-permanent, I assume that means that you're planning to put jewelry in the hole, as opposed to just using hypodermic needles and leaving them in?
Most "play piercing" is done with hypodermic needles- most likely the things you found at the vet supply place. They're small-gauge (20-27ga), pre-sterilized, and have a plastic receiver on one end that keeps them from sliding the rest of the way through. You can lace against those by having the needles pointing towards the center of the body, and looping your lacing material over the plastic ends. At the end of the scene, all the needles come out.
For a piercing with jewelry, things are a little more complicated. You can do it with needles from 16-12 ga (smaller increases the chances of tearing the hole if it gets caught on something; larger is just bigger than most people want to use for play). I usually like to use 14ga.
Get a box of needles, and however many rings you want to use, all in the same size. Having extras is a good idea, just in case you drop one, lose track of the ball, or want to add to your design. Use jewelry smaller than the hole, and it will bleed. Use jewelry larger than the hole, and you'll have to force it in, which is bad. If you're using all captive bead rings (the most economical choice), make sure you can get the beads in and out without a problem- small-diameter rings can be a real pain in the ass to deal with, at least for me
Get a good antibacterial soap, and some rubbing alcohol (the pre-saturated pads are good). Also get something to clean the jewelry with. The needles will be pre-sterilized to medical standards. The jewelry is not, and was probably manufactured in a plant somewhere in China where they also make farm machinery, pesticides, and children's toys. Also have a sharps container handy, and a skin marking pen is a good thing to have. A felt-tip pen will do in a pinch. You might want a set of forceps as well. They make slotted forceps especially for this, which makes it a lot easier to remove them after the piercing is done (trying to get a set of mini Pennington forceps off of a captive bead ring once it's in is very awkward!)
Set out ALL your materials before you begin. Don't open the individual needle packages until you're ready to use that one. Have all of the rings open.
Have the piercee sit, stand, bend over, or whatever position you expect them to be in when the piercings are done. Clean the area with the rubbing alcohol (spiral motion, from the center out). Mark where you want each piercing to be- the entrance and exit for eaech hole. Then let the piercee assume a position that will be comfortable for both of you to actually do the piercing.
Wash your hands thoroughly with antibacterial soap. If you're using gloves to be sterile, make sure that you're getting them from individual, sterile packages- otherwise, wash them too.
As you do each piercing, get the needle 3/4 of the way through, then use the jewelry to push it the rest of the way. Most piercing-specific needles have a slightly enlarged socket at the dull end to receive jewelry of that size. If the needle falls out before you're ready, don't panic- put the needle into your sharps container, and work the jewelry in by hand. The piercee will feel all of the sensation at the places where the skin is broken- not actually underneath the skin.
Don't re-use needles. They are made duller at the microscopic level as they are used, and dull = ragged wounds. The needle should slice through the skin almost effortlessly, unless you're doing something thick like a nipple or a glans. Don't try to put in jewelry after doing piercings with a hypodermic needle. Proper body piercing needles cost a little more, but they're still cheap, relatively speaking.
Hope this helps... I probably forgot a bunch of stuff, I'm not much of a morning person either...
Oh, one more thing- http://www.painfulpleasures.com. I've bought a bunch of stuff from them, they're fast, reliable, have good prices, and just about everything you could possibly want for temporary or permanent piercing.
