I got my CLIT done about 7 years ago. Let me tell you, First of all MAKE sure you find a professional piercer and a clean place. I had to have mine done twice cause the idiot that done mine messed it up badly. I wanted a horazontal clit ring, the guy argued with me on it. Finally he agreed to do it that way. WELL he didnt put the forcepts on the tight enough which in turn cause it to fall off when my leg jumped ( something you can not control). Took him another 5 minutes to get everything lined up, which still wasn't right. I ended up with it in a slant, which really hurt bad cause it was ripping with movment. I called the onwer of the shop and complained. He told me to go to his other shop and he would make sure it didn't happen again. The second piercer knew what he was doing. It took him a total of 2 seconds to do it the way I wanted it.

Does it hurt? YES! I screamed, and I can with stand alot of pain. I have been through busted ovarian cyst, about 7 ovarian surgeries, and child birth. The pain ends as quick as it starts. Once the needle is completely through the skin the pain is over. I did have an orgasm while getting the piercing, and to this day I can walk just right and have one. But when you get an actual clit ring not a hood, you can tell when the wind blows or the weather changes. I paid a total of 125.00 for mine. The first piercing was 100.00 and 25.00 for the second just to cover the sterialization.

I'd get pierced if I wasn't terrified of the pain.

I personally adore my vertical clitoral hood. LOVE IT.

Here's a great column on genital piercings link

I've had my VCH- Vertical Clitoral Hood piercing for over 3 years now.
Initially, I was scared, but I decided to go for it. My other 3 friends with me were getting their bellybutton, and nose done...go figure. since I was away at college, i wasn't familliar with the studios in the area- I talked to some studios- they showed me photos they had, and I talked to the piercer and they all looked great, centered, no problems.

I got it pierced when there was a deal on, so it was only $30 something + jewlery, which I chose a curved barbell with a purple gems on both balls.
I think its outrageous for piercing shops to charge $100 for a simple hafada/freunum/clitora l hood piercings-- I can understnad if you are doing a Triangle, Prince Albtert..those are more 'risky' yes. But every piercer should properly know their body anatomy and have studied it extensively.

It was a female piercer, which didn't really matter to me, but they are to be professional at all times anyway. She got me to sit in the big comfy chair, scoot my bum to the bottom of the chair, and put my legs out.. either on her chair arms, or on her shoulders. That was when the piercer can measure your hood length and examine where the ball should be sitting when pierced- if your anatomy is correct for placement.

It was a quick procedure after she made sure with a mirror that i liked the placement and such- when you think about it.. most clitoral hoods are quite thin, i'd say it pinches for a second, but then its over..just like any piercing.. walking afterward pinches a little bit, but just wear comfortable pants likes sweats.. it is maybe a week or less and it just feels bruised, doesn't hurt.. as your body gets used to it, you can play with it more..it healed very quick, I was having sex w/ my bf the next week...I didn't tell him about it either- SURPRISE!

I have found this piercing to be very versitle. I have put in CBRs (captive bead ring), or curved barbells, or even shorter barbells with bigger balls for more sensation... you can really around play with jewlery for different sensations. Sometimes I just put my vibrator just on the balls and it will transfer to my clit, feels amazing...

You can also take it out for a while for a different sensation all together.. Ive just recently had mines out for a over a week, and it easily slid back in.

I haven't lost any sensitivity, and it feels great all of the time, you do
I have heard some horror stories about piercers piercing through the ladys clit, as well as hood- but If you check out, and seek a reputable piercer that has expereience, I don't see a reason why this piercing is unsafe.

If you didn't notice- the Christina piercing is a surface piercing, and keep in mind that they are very hard to heal in certain people, esp if you don't know how your body handles them.

Happy Piercing
