Getting a vertical hood piercing
January 4, 2005
By: Bob Whitehead
The most popular female genital piercing is the vertical hood
piercing. It’s much easier to perform, less anatomically specific,
and it isn’t as painful as other genital piercings. Vertical hood
piercings are ideal for women who want a genital piercing that
provides stimulation.
Because vertical hood piercings don’t require a specific amount
of skin or a certain anatomy, they are less rare and it is easier to
find an experienced artist to perform it. And unlike horizontal hood
piercings, vertical clitoral hood piercings are placed so that the
jewelry provides direct stimulation to the clitoris. For a minimal
amount of pain, you get a lot of pleasure.
The actual piercing process does not touch the clitoris, though
because it passes through the hood and rests on the clitoris, some
may mistakenly refer to it a clitoris piercing. Though the latter
piercing is far rarer, make sure you and your piercing artist are on
the same page when it comes to getting this done.
Curved barbells or captive bead rings can be worn in the
piercing. With the barbell, the ball on the end would rest right
against the clitoris. Ten, twelve, and fourteen are popular gauge
sizes for this piercing. Some artists choose to use clamps for the
piercing while others prefer to work freehand.
Talking with your piercing artist prior to getting pierced will
help you know what to expect – whether you will be pierced with
clamps or not, for instance. Some women do report discomfort with
clamps, so it is always good to know what to expect going in.
The piercing will heal in four to six weeks, but until that time,
take care to keep all body fluids away from it. Enjoy the benefits!
