Shit.....

Why?

I've never liked the idea of having a giant needle shoved through multiple layers of skin, and as a result, I've never had any personal experience with piercings. But, there are plenty of people who seem to enjoy attaching things to their ears, noses and belly buttons (just to name a few).

Unfortunately for everything that is good and right with the world, there are certain people who prefer... less traditional piercings, and by "less traditional" I mean "involving areas that normally don't see the light of day."

I've heard of people plunging studs into their penises and vulvas, but apparently those aren't the only naughty parts of the body people go out of their way to modify.

If this post from Reddit's TIFU is to be believed, the anus is also a viable candidate for piercing, despite everything I've ever learned suggesting otherwise.

It goes without saying that such a piercing comes with its hazards, and that doesn't just apply to the person on the receiving end.

It's important to remember there's normally another person responsible for actually performing the deed, and sometimes things don't go as planned:

Alright a bit of background. Ive been a piercer at my local tattoo parlor for several years, and I have seen people do the simplest things like eyebrow piercings, cartilage piercings, etc. Ive also seen people do the most bizarre things like dick/clit/ball piercings, and even anus piercings. Ive only done 2 anus piercings in the 6 years i've worked there. This guy comes in, and says he wants his asshole pierced. I wanted to laugh, but I put my professional face on, and told him prices, and answered his questions.

We get to the piercing room, and I tell him to pull down his pants and get on all 4s up on the table. Awkward already... Now Im trying to get him to position his ass cheeks just right so I can get to his asshole. I finally get him to spread his ass cheeks apart, and I get my needle. I can tell the guy is getting really nervous so I said "Dont tense up man just relax its only gonna take a second. Just relax your anus don't tense up or it will only be worse."

I have my face right up to this guys anus and am about to pierce him, and I say "Ok here we go". 2 seconds after I get the needle in he blasts shit all over my face. I start screaming like a motherfucker trying to wipe shit off my face, and he starts trying to stand up but the needle is still in his ass, and he screams bloody fucking murder. My boss runs in to find me wiping shit off my face, and this poor fuck screaming and crying with his pants down.

After I got cleaned up, and we got the needle out his ass I said "WHY DID YOU SHIT ON ME??!" He just stood there obviously embarassed, and he says "You said to relax my anus! Im so sorry!"

I will never pierce an anus ever again...
