You’re probably familiar with the different types of ear piercings . And then there are eyebrow piercings, tongue piercings, nose piercings , lip piercings , and so on. As for body piercings , plenty of people get their nipples or belly button pierced, but some head even further south and get genital piercings. People with vulvas can get piercings on the clitoris, the clitoral hood, or the labia, and for those with penises, you can get what’s called a Prince Albert piercing , which exists through the urethra and exits on the underside of the penis.
If you’re curious about clit piercings, you’ve come to the right place. We asked expert Elayne Angel, a piercer who specializes in nipple and genital piercings and the author of The Piercing Bible: The Definitive Guide to Safe Body Piercing , to explain everything you need to know about clitoral piercings.
There’s plenty of detail below, but there are a few things to consider when it comes to clit piercings. First and foremost, if you decide to get one, you need to go to a professional piercer, preferably one who specializes in genital piercings. They’ll be able to tell you whether you’re anatomically suited for a clit piercing (not everyone is, FYI), give you the piercing in a safe and sterile environment, and teach you how to take care of it afterward. V important stuff!
Here’s everything you should know about clit piercings, including the different types of piercings, how badly it hurts to get one, how long they last, and some of the benefits.
First, it's important to note that the term "clitoris piercing" is a bit hard to grasp because clitoral glans piercings are super rare, says Angel. When people talk about clitoris piercings, they’re usually referring to clitoral hood piercings, which are far more common.
However, since no two vulvas are exactly alike, Angel says these piercings are all anatomically dependent. She recommends going to an expert who can consult you and guide your placement options to determine the best for you.
Angel says this piercing is the most popular among the clit piercings because many women are anatomically suited for it. With this piercing, the barbell passes through the clitoral hood vertically (like a belly button ring). The jewelry rests against the clitoris and can add extra stimulation during sex.
"For the VCH, you need to have a deep enough hood without too much pressure from the pubic mound above," says Angel. And actually, anatomical suitability is so important that Angel actually offers online photo consultations so customers can learn which piercing, if any, they're best suited for. You can also try a Q-Tip test at home, which is if you can fit the end of a Q-tip underneath your clitoral hood, you have the required depth for a VCH piercing.
Although requests for the triangle piercing are just as high in demand as the VCH, Angel says she often has to decline, as you have to have a very specific anatomy to get it. This piercing goes underneath the base of the clitoral hood horizontally and rests beneath the clitoral shaft. Where the VCH stimulates the front of the clitoris, the triangle stimulates the back of the clitoris.
In order for the piercing to pass through properly, you need sufficient hood height, symmetry, and the ability to lift and locate the clitoral shaft, among other requirements. However, for those who can and do get the piercing, it comes with some surprising benefits. "I’ve had women with primary anorgasmia achieve success following this piercing," says Angel.
While it might seem similar in name to the fan-favorite VCH, the Horizontal Clitoral Hood piercing is more for decorative purposes than sexual stimulation. Angel says that since these are more ornamental, she doesn't do as many of them. "Most women's hoods cover the glans, so the jewelry in an HCH can't reach it."
Beware, though: Angel adds that many piercers who do these piercings don't understand that if the jewelry doesn't touch the clitoris, it won't add any sensation.
Ironically, Angel says the actual clitoris piercing is the least common genital piercing. "Most women have too small a clitoris and too large a hood for a glans piercing to be safe," she explains. According to her site, 90-95 percent of women are not built to accommodate this kind of piercing, so don't be discouraged if it's not an option for you.
Angel also adds that once the difference between clitoral hood piercings and an actual clitoral glans piercing is explained, most women decide to go for the hood piercing anyways.
FYI, if you’re looking for some clit jewelry that doesn’t involve getting pierced, that totally exists. You can check out clitoral clamps or magnetic jewelry, which also stimulate the area and look cute. It’s not a piercing, obviously, so it might not stay in place quite as well during sex or give you the exact same sensations that a VCH piercing or triangle piercing will — but it’s still worth considering for sure.
This is a super common question when it comes to genital piercings. Like anything else, it varies from person to person and depends on your pain tolerance and preferences. "You might be built for a VCH, but if you have a hypersensitive clitoris, then it wouldn’t be the best choice," Angel says. "A frank discussion with a qualified piercer is important, in addition to your anatomical suitability!"
Angel's website notes that when it comes to VCH piercings, it's basically just a "momentary pinch and a quick, easy healing period."
People get their genitals pierced for multiple reasons. A pretty common reason is to enhance sensations during sexual activity.
Angel says to think of it this way: "If your hood covers your clitoris, but you like direct stimulation, then you or your partner have to have a hand there to lift the hood. But, if you have a VCH, and there’s jewelry resting underneath it against your clitoris, then you’re going to receive more direct stimulation when there is pressure and friction on the area."
But people get clit piercings for a whole bunch of reasons. Angel estimates that 95 percent of her clientele gets them done for sexual enhancement, though many more get them to enhance self-esteem, or reclaim their bodies after illness, abuse, childbirth, or other traumas.
Angel says that these piercings have a tendency to shrink or close extremely quickly. "My suggestion is that if you like your piercing, leave jewelry in it at all times. I do a shocking amount of re-piercing on women who take out their jewelry for very short periods of time—sometimes just momentarily—and lose the piercing!"
Good news: If you follow the instructions for cleaning, genital piercings are very unlikely to get infected. According to Angel, because the area is protected by clothing and seldom handled without thinking about it—like the way you might play with a newly pierced ear in public—genital piercings have less of a chance of infection.
And while there are no studies on the healing rates of genital piercings (a failure of modern science TBH), Angel notes that there are separate studies that indicate that mucous membranes heal faster than regular dermal tissue .
As a tip, snug, supportive, and not restrictive clothing will help it heal faster. Like, leggings are great for healing, as are skirts for cutting down on irritation. Leggings are stretchy and have a softer center seam than traditional jeans, making them a better bet than denim and tight pants.
You also shouldn't go commando, even if you think it'll help you breathe down there. Angel explains that wearing underwear holds the jewelry in place, which minimizes trauma and irritation. It's also an extra barrier of protection between your healing wound and outside germs.
To make sure any piercer is legit, you should do your homework and make sure they're a member of the Association of Professional Piercers (APP) . The APP is a non-profit dedicated to educating people on safe body piercing practices.
While being a member of the APP is a good start when seeking a piercer, Angel explains that members of the APP aren't "certified" by the association, nor does the association monitor the "artistic merit" of the piercer. In other words, even though your piercer is using all the proper sterilization techniques, it doesn't guarantee that they'll know the best place for a piece of jewelry. So it's important to meet with a professional who is forthcoming and listens to all your concerns.
No exceptions. Angel says that even if you have a committed monogamous partner, you'll still need to have gentle, safer sex using barrier protection. You should also steer clear of touching on or near the piercing with dirty fingers, and staying away form pools, lakes, jacuzzis, and other bodies of water. And definitely don't have unprotected sex in any of those bodies of water either.
According to Angel, the piercings can swell or bleed for a couple of days afterward, so the extra backup can be helpful. VCH piercings and clitoral glans piercings heal in 4-6 weeks, while HCH piercings take 6-8 weeks, and the triangle piercing heals in 2-3 months.
While male genital piercings can be similar to female ones (i.e., the Prince Albert is similar to the VCH), Angel adds that men have more external genitalia and, therefore, more piercing options.
However, even though they have more options, it also takes longer for male genital piercings to heal."Their genital dimensions are also larger, so some of the piercings, like ampallang and apadravya (horizontally or vertically through the glans), take considerably longer to heal than any of the female [genital] piercings —about 6-9 months or so."
When it comes to female genital piercing I have done some really exciting procedures and some extremely nice work. I have a great understanding of the female anatomy and I have been using only the best methods for female genital procedures, the highest quality body jewellery in the industry and of course state-of-the-art sterilization methods.
With genital work, I typically work appointment only and prefer a sit down consultation prior to the work being done.
If you are at all interested in female genital work and would like to know what types of piercings there are for you to choose from, here are a few of the most popular female genital procedures I perform:
Vertical Hood: Along with the horizontal hood this is the most common female genital piercing. It passes through the clitoral hood from a single point and allows the jewellery to lie directly on top on the stem of the clit. Stimulation varies from woman to woman. Most women wear a curved bar in this piercing, though a ring is not uncommon. I start this piercing at either a 12g or 10g, always preferring the larger.
Horizontal Hood: This piercing passes through the clitoral hood horizontally and allows the ring to lie across the stem of the clit and the bead to lie directly on the clit itself. Usually round pieces of jewellery are worn in this piercing such as captive rings or circular barbells and I pierce horizontal hoods starting at 12g or 10g or larger.
Inner Labia: These piercings heal extremely quickly and are often done in pairs. For most women, these piercings are strictly meant for esthetic looks over anything else. Some women will wear one ring through the two piercings to create a chastity device. These piercings I perform with 10g rings and larger.
Outer Labia: These piercings pass through the labia majora and are sometimes slow to heal. Much like the inner labia, they offer little to no sensation and are worn mainly for esthetic purposes. These piercings I pierce with 10g rings and larger.
Fourchette: A fourchette piercing is a labial piercing done at the rear rim of the vagina. I perform this piercing using a 10g curved bar or in rare occasions a straight bar. This piercing is probably one of the least performed female genital piercings.
Triangle: Not to be confused with a deep horizontal hood piercing, the piercing passes underneath the clitoral shaft. This piercing is anatomy dependent. I always have a consultation with the client to determine if they are suitable for this procedure – not all women are good candidates for this piercing. Most women agree that this piercing offers more stimulation than any other female genital piercing because it puts pressure on the clitoris from the underneath. I normally start this piercing with a 10g ring and have a follow up appointment to make sure it is healing fine. Some women need to change the jewellery diameter or shape for optimal healing and normal wear. With that being said, this piercing is normally easy to heal without problems.
Christina: This piercing starts on the outside the top of the hood and exits through the pubic mound, and is quite often a surface piercing. Like the Triangle, I always have a consultation prior to doing the work because, most women need a custom-made piece if they are not suited for a surface bar. I usually start this piercing at a 14g or a 12g depending on the client and their anatomy, as well as the jewellery we are going to use.
Nefertiti: This is personally my favorite of all the female genital piercings. For a long while I had been performing this piercing not knowing that it had already been done and named! Imagine a vertical hood meets a Christina piercing. It travels from the public mound, and rather than exiting above the top of the clitoral hood like the Christina, it follows through the entire hood, and the bottom sits exactly like a vertical hood piercing. This is not to be confused with an Isabella piercing, which is considered a much riskier and rarer piercing than the Nefertiti. A consultation is once again needed prior to doing the actual work, as jewellery is again an issue dependent on anatomy. I usually perform this piercing with a 14g or 12g custom-made bar.
I always use the highest quality jewellery in the industry to pierce with. From high grade polish to the finest internal threading I’ve ever seen and used, our friends at Anatometal make the best quality body jewellery on earth. I always stock every gauge, diameter and style at all times and consult on custom pieces. With my high standards of sterilization, best methods for these procedures and optimal placement, I have carved out a reputation in this industry as a specialist when it comes to female genital piercing.
