Clitoral PiercingFrom BME Encyclopedia
However, if the person has a large enough clitoris, there is no reason why the clitoris itself can't be pierced. Some people have experienced desensitization over time due to the piercing, but this is rare.
Deep Hood PiercingFrom BME Encyclopedia
A deep hood piercing is of course a hood piercing that has been placed more deeply. It's very similar to a triangle piercing, but with a deeper ("higher", toward the pubic mound) placement. Rather than sitting right below the glans of the clitoris, it sits under the glans and/or shaft itself. It should go without saying that this is a piercing that should be done by experienced piercers who understand the anatomy. With piercings like this it's very important that the piercer be sensitive to the finer points of the highly variable female genital anatomy. Accidentally intersecting or even just nicking the shaft of the clitoris can be very painful. The area is also very vascular and there will be bleeding. Healed, the end result of this piercing is (a) a "deeper" looking aesthetic, giving the impression that the ring has been wrapped right around the hood and clitoris, and (b) stimulation of the clitoris from inside the body as well as outside. Category:Female Genital PiercingsFrom BME EncyclopediaFemale genital piercings cover a wide range, although there are only four or five "core" piercings that are commonly done. Many people call all female genital piercings "clit piercings" but this is more a reflection on the poor knowledge of female genital anatomy, rather than on the piercings people get. Piercings of the clitoral hood include the vertical hood and the horizontal hood. Slightly related are the Nefertiti piercing and the isabella, as well as the deep hood piercing and the triangle piercing. Above the hood is a common surface piercing usually known as a christina. There are outer labia piercings and inner labia piercings, with the piercing through the very back of the inner labia (the back of the vaginal opening basically) being known as a fourchette. Princess Albertina piercings pass through the urethra, as does the "scrunty piercing" (which is sort of like a transurethral frenum for women). Clitoral piercings are of course also possible if the clitoris is large enough. There are also hymen piercings and other unusual variations. Christina Piercing"As outer labia piercing are to inner labia piercing, Christina is to vertical hood piercing." The Christina piercing is a surface piercing (although depending on the woman's anatomy it may not be), traveling from the very top of the clitoral hood, through the small ridge where the outer labia meet, and exiting through the surface of the pubic mound. Naturally, this piercing is anatomy-dependent and prone to rejection in women with a particularly smooth pubic region.
The piercing was named by Tom Brazda of Stainless Studios, in what some consider a somewhat sordid manner. Traditionally when choosing Piercing Names, the first-known person to get a piercing gets to choose its name. In the case of the Christina, a customer approached him about the piercing and made an appointment for two weeks after that initial consultation. Before her piercing was done, however, he mentioned it to a friend, named Christina, who ultimately got the piercing before the "inventor" and chose to name it after herself. This piercing is usually performed with a surface bar or curved barbell. Jewelry is often customized for the individual client, since no two Christina piercings (or pubic mounds, for that matter) are exactly alike. Some people's anatomy may even be suited to wearing a ring if they have a pronounced ridge. Female GuicheThis extremely rare female perineal piercing sits half way between where a fourchette would be located and an anal piercing would be located. The female guiche is placed across the perineum (ie. running "from leg to leg" rather than front to back (which would be an anal-to-vaginal piercing in most cases). Naturally, care must be taken during healing to avoid contaminating the piercing, and not all women have anatomy suited to it at all. The first published examples of this piercing were done by Shane Munce who also chose the name (although it has almost certainly been done before).
