I just got my penis pierced, ala Prince Albert. It had (relatively) minimal pain, but much more than I was expecting. I have my navel pierced and had my tongue pierced for a day, and was expecting similiar ease. The pain will be well worth it. Many people get commonly sought after piercings like nose or nipples, but I can now say I got a "real" piercing, a hardcore pierce. I can't wait for the piercing to heal and shift focus on either piercing both my nipples or getting a tattoo.
