What is christina piercing?

A Christina piercing is a female genital piercing that exits at the point where the labia majora meet above the clitoris. It's a strictly surface piercing, meaning it doesn't penetrate any internal structures. The piercing is primarily aesthetic and doesn't generally enhance sexual pleasure directly, though it can be stimulating for some individuals.

  • Placement: It's crucial that a professional piercer places the jewelry correctly to avoid rejection. The entry and exit points need to be in a stable area with enough tissue.

  • Jewelry: Commonly used jewelry includes curved barbells or surface bars, chosen based on anatomy and preference.

  • Healing: Healing time varies, usually taking several months (3-9 months) with proper aftercare.

  • Pain: Pain levels vary from person to person, but it is generally considered to be on the lower end of the pain scale compared to other piercings.

  • Aftercare: Proper aftercare is critical for successful healing and to minimize the risk of infection or rejection. This includes regular cleaning with a saline solution.

  • Risks: Potential risks include infection, rejection, migration, scarring, and irritation.
