They make some people orgasm so hard they cry.
Clit piercings, nipple piercings , vagina piercings and penis piercings may be though of as a little... 'extreme', but they're way more common than you think. They can do everything from look hot to make sex more pleasurable.
Here's everything you need to know about clitoris piercings, from the pain to the (very well-documented) pleasure.
There's evidence that clit piercings don't just look pretty, but also have a direct impact on sexual pleasure. This is because of their close proximity of the highly sensitive nerve supply to this part of the genitals. Many people say the vertical clitoral hood piercing will mean greater enhancement of sexual pleasure, as the way the jewellery sits increases pressure on the clitoris.
People with clitoral hood piercings have said since having it done they can now reach orgasm in more positions (rather than just on top ), and some newly experience multiple orgasms because of the extra stimulation. Others have reported their vertical clit hood piercings made them come so hard they cried...
Experienced piercer Clem, who works in Topshop Oxford Street's in-house shop Metal Morphosis , says these are the things you need to consider.
Style: Getting your actual clitoris pierced (through the glans) can be quite dangerous and most studios will refuse to do it. It's clitoral hood piercings that are the most common and popular 'clit' piercings. You can get them pierced vertically or horizontally , but most people opt for a vertical piercing.
Price: Between £80 - £100 for the piercing but you can choose gold or platinum jewellery which will bump up the cost.
Suitability: Not everyone is suitable for the piercing, so depending on your anatomy a piercer may refuse to carry out the piercing.
Jewellery: You can get your clitoral hood pierced with rings, straight bars or curved bars depending on which piercing you go for. Jewellery can be titanium, gold, white gold, rose gold, platinum or palladium.
Risk: There's always a small risk of infection, but if you follow the aftercare instructions this it's unlikely.
Procedure: Normally, genital piercings are done by appointment only as you will need a consultation to ensure your anatomy allows for the piercing. Your piercer will also want to find out what you expect from the piercing so they can advise you on the correct jewellery.
Aftercare: The best place to clean a genital piercing is in the shower. Sitting in a bath tub could introduce bacteria or harsh soaps to your genital area, causing irritation or infection. Don't allow your piercing to come in contact with any bodily fluids for the first few weeks while it heals. This includes semen and saliva. So, you're not restricted from sexual activity, but a condom must be used for any and all sexual contact for at least two weeks, or you are putting yourself at risk for infection. This includes masturbation and/or the use of sex toys .
Pain: A needle is penetrating your genitals, it isn't going to be pain-free. But the procedure is quick and how painful it is will depend on your individual pain threshold.
Obstetrician & Gynaecologist Dr Anne Henderson, from Doctify , says there are a few health concerns to consider before getting a clitoris (hood or glans) piercing:

Pierced ears have long been a fashion accessory. By some estimates, more than 85% of women have pierced ears. For thousands of years, cultures around the world have also pierced other body parts. The practice, though, has only caught on in Western society over the last few decades.
Today, it's not unusual for people to pierce their tongue , lips, nose, eyebrows, and even that most sensitive of areas: the genitals. It's not just rock musicians and street artists who are getting genital piercings . A lot of professional women are hiding jewelry beneath their business suits.
Most people get pierced to show off their jewelry. But when it comes to the genitals, not too many people are going to be looking. One of the main reasons women give for vaginal piercing is sexual enhancement. Some women who've been pierced "down there" say it helped them reach their first orgasm . Other women say their vaginal piercing makes them feel adventurous, exciting, or naughty.
The vagina can be pierced in one of these areas:
Even if you're brave enough to get a vaginal piercing, you may not have the right anatomy for it. Many women don't have a clitoris large enough to accommodate a piercing. You also need to have enough skin in the inner and outer labia if you want to pierce in those areas.
First the skin around the area is cleaned with an antiseptic. This is very important because you can end up with a serious infection if the area isn't thoroughly cleaned. Then a 12- to 16-gauge hollow needle with a piece of jewelry attached -- usually a barbell or captive bead -- is passed through the skin.
The biggest question with genital piercings is, "Do they hurt?" It would seem likely that if you pierce some of the most sensitive tissue in your body, the pain would be excruciating. Yet the procedure is very quick, and some people who perform -- and get -- genital piercings say it doesn't hurt any more than piercing other parts of the body.
How quickly vaginal piercings heal depends on the location of the piercing. A labial piercing takes between one to four months to heal. The clitoris can heal in one to two months.
Any time you create an opening in the body there is a chance of infection. Going to a questionable piercing shop can put you at risk for tetanus , HIV , hepatitis B and C, and other sexually transmitted diseases ( STDs ). Sometimes, vaginal piercings can lead to bleeding, scarring, or an allergic reaction . Piercing behind the clitoris may interfere with blood flow.
Here are a few precautions to reduce risks:
It's normal to have some discharge after you get a piercing. But if that discharge is unusually colored (green) or foul smelling, you may have an infection. Leave jewelry in place, but clean the area with antibacterial soap and warm compresses. Ask your doctor if you need an antibiotic to help the infection clear up more quickly.

Some women may try to amp up their sex lives with a new toy, or a crazy sex position—others will get a clit piercing.
Yep, rumor has it that getting some jewelry down there may pack some hot benefits. Or, at the very least, give you a sexy secret under your pants.
If that sounds like the greatest thing since Beyonce’s pregnancy photo shoot (or if you just have LOTS of questions), this is what you need to know about doing clit piercings right.
Now, before you get your panties in a twist, most “clit piercings” aren’t actually through the clitoris, but through the small flap of skin above the clitoris, called the clitoral hood. These piercings are called vertical clitoral hood (VCH) piercings.
“Vertical horizontal hood piercings are more likely to produce increased sexual stimulation."
While you can get your actual clitoris pierced by certain piercers, Julia Potter, M.D., associate medical director of adolescent medicine at Boston University, warns that “a [direct] clitoral piercing can increase sensitivity excessively” and even cause permanent nerve damage, which is why clitoral hood piercings are more popular.
The short answer is it depends. “Everyone's perception of pain is different and often pain is influenced by how relaxed someone is.” Potter says, “[It depends] how much the painful stimuli is feared or desired.” So if you’re a total adrenaline junkie, you’re probably fine; if you’re scared of needles, it may not be so pleasant.
If you’re getting your clitoral hood pierced (and not your actual clitoris) and seeing a licensed piercer, the risk is the same as with other piercings. “The vaginal tissue has good blood supply and heals well,” Potter explains. But, “risks include infection and scar tissue formation that could block the urethra and obstruct urination."
She also adds that you may have an allergic reaction to the body jewelry (especially if it's made of nickel—opt for surgical steel when possible.) That said, infection and irritation is no more likely to occur with clit piercings than any other body piercing.
To keep the piercing infection-free, clean it regularly with saline solution and be gentle with the surrounding area as it heals, recommends Jamie Stevens, M.D. He also recommends following the aftercare instructions of the Association of Professional Piercers . Plus, you should always "urinate after cleaning the piercing" since pee is a natural sterilizer, says Stevens.
All bodies are different, but some people do experience increased sexual pleasure and libido after getting a piercing down there. Stevens explains it’s dependent on the type of clitoral hood piercing. “Vertical horizontal hood piercings are more likely to produce increased sexual stimulation than horizontal ones, given the way they lie against the sensitive parts of the organ.”
Just keep in mind that, while the piercing heals, you should "use barriers during sex" says Steven—a.k.a. condoms for penetrative sex and dental dams for oral sex—to prevent semen or saliva from potentially irritating the piercing.
And Potter adds there is a slight risk of the piercing getting caught or pulled during sex. So be careful down there.
Bottom line: A clit piercing is no more dangerous than any other piercing on your body. Just be sure your piercer is legit, and you clean the piercing regularly afterward. Oh, and you should opt to pierce your hood...not the clit itself.
