ᐉ ALL about female piercings: Types of piercings, tips, choice of jewelry, care +Discussion and reviews

Piercing - One of the most popular options for decorating the female body, widespread almost everywhere. When installing it, it is important to choose the right place for the piercing and follow the rules for care.

The literal translation of the word "piercing" from the English language is piercing. It is one of the modern and fashionable ways to emphasize the most attractive features of the appearance, to create an attractive and unique image. If earlier the most part of girls used only ear piercing, now there are much more options for the installation of such jewelry, including - in intimate areas.

Historians claim that piercings as a method of body decoration appeared several thousand years ago. In the process of archaeological excavations, various piercing tools and various decorations are regularly discovered. Initially, piercings had a ritual and religious meaning, but later became a fashionable decoration, which allows you to stand out among others and create a unique personal style.

There are many options to add a "highlight" to your appearance with the help of piercings. Jewelry can be placed in almost any part of the body, but the most popular options are listed below.

Ear Piercing

Ear piercings are made in several different ways:

Tragus (Earring piercing) - is performed at the level of the auditory canal. Rings or nails are inserted into the hole.
Industrial - is two holes connected horizontally or vertically by one ornament. In most cases, the upper part of the auricle is pierced in this way and a straight or slightly curved piece of jewelry (bar earring) is inserted into both holes. The healing process lasts from 3 months to 1 year.
Earlobe Piercing - The least painful option, which is also done on young children.
Helix piercing - Is performed in the upper curve of the ear lobe. It is performed with a hollow needle of a small size. Mostly small rings with a ball or nails are inserted into the holes. The healing period lasts from a few weeks to a few months.
Tunnels - The largest pieces of jewelry that can be used for ear piercings. Tunnels are used to pierce the earlobe. The tunnel can be created in several ways: with dilators, with Teflon tape or surgically.

What are the most commonly pierced intimate areas? Are these piercings more painful than regular piercings?

Anna: "Ladies prefer vertical clitoral hood piercing, because it is the most functional piercing. Men like "Prince Albert" piercing (penis head piercing), hafada (scrotal piercing) or frenulum piercing. All these piercings are perceived differently, everyone has a different pain threshold.

Mikhail: "Girls - nipples and clitoral hood piercings, of course. Boys - penile frenulum piercing, scrotal piercing.

Normal and unusual are a bit of a misnomer, in my opinion. It's the type of pierced tissue and location that's important. As for sensation - nipple piercing is almost always extremely palpable, but the seemingly infinitely painful hood piercing for most ladies most often ends with a quick "Ouch, is that all?!"

Eyebrow Piercing

Eyebrow piercings are very popular with both sexes. Girls usually install in the eyebrow ornaments of the "banana" and "micro banana" variety, made of precious metals with incrustation in the form of various stones, balls.

Eyebrow piercing can be performed in different ways:

horizontal - the most complex option;
Diagonal - popular and the safest;
Vertical - not very popular because of too protruding earring;
under the eye in the area above the cheekbones - straight "rods" are used as decoration, the upper part of the decorative element is located near the ear.

Important! After such piercing under the eye, sometimes there is swelling, which disappears after healing.

How much does the procedure cost

The cost of intimate body piercing is varied. It depends on the city where you will have it done. The choice of the salon where the procedure will be performed plays an important role. The level of the master also affects the price, a beginner will charge less money for a puncture than a professional. On average, the cost starts at a thousand rubles. Nipple piercing will cost about one and a half or two thousand rubles. But the piercing of the labia or clitoris will cost more expensive, about four thousand. This cost does not include jewelry. In addition, in addition, you should buy a variety of ointments, plasters and bandages, which the master will advise.

Reviews about intimate body piercings are quite diverse. Some people liked the procedure, while others regretted the spent time and money. Opposite views are justified, because every girl has an individual structure of genitals. And to someone the earring on the clitoris during intercourse adds a new thrill, while others find such jewelry very inconvenient.

Lip Piercing

The piercing of the lips can be made in different ways. The most common include the following:

Monroe - A piercing in the form of a small round mole on the left side of her upper lip.
Madonna - An option similar to the previous one, only done on the opposite side.
Dahlia - Two symmetrical piercings in the corners of the mouth.
Medusa - A puncture under the nasal septum in the middle of the dimple under the nose.
Estrum - Horizontal placement of the decoration on either side of the mouth.
Ashley - The piercing is performed in the center of the lower lip. One of the most problematic and painful options.
Labret - A single puncture under the lower lip. The hole is formed vertically or horizontally.

What a piercing! Fashionable piercing of 2021: where to make it and what jewelry to choose

Accent and unusual tattoos are not the only way to stand out from the crowd and make a statement in the summer. We asked piercing masters what types of piercings are becoming increasingly popular, and whether they carry any hidden meaning.

Ears are a common place for unusual piercings

For all the originality of individual customers, the most popular piercings are still in the most expected place - the ears. However, classic earring piercing places are receding into the background: today's trends include dais and tragus piercings, as well as uncommon earlobe piercings.

For instance, stacked - when one piercing is above another, and trifecta - when the punctures are not arranged in a row, but in a triangle. It is the lobes that I would call the trend of the season and the most fashionable place for piercing.

The decisive factor for choosing this option is not only aesthetics (it looks really original!), but also a relatively short healing period.

Nose: The septum fashion gathers pace

Photo: @el.piercing

The fashion for septum piercing dates back to the rituals of Central Asian tribes. Many centuries ago, such piercings symbolized courage and were attributes of militancy. In the XX century, this type of piercing became popular among punks.

The trend didn't die with the decline in popularity of this subculture - the fashion for septum came back to us in 2015, when designer Ricardo Tisci took it to a whole new level at the Givenchy FW 2015/16 show.

Givenchy Fall 2015 Ready-to-Wear

One by one, models appeared on the catwalk adorned with huge septum rings and rhinestones, with curls smoothly arranged along the face. It was one of the most talked about shows in the career of the current Burberry mastermind, and it was so memorable that the trend for nose rings began to gain momentum.

Over the next five years the fashion for such piercings did not develop, but did not die out. Cuffs - temporary jewelry that doesn't require the same courage as real piercings - became commonplace. To date, the piercing industry has come a long way, got rid of many stereotypes and acquired new forms - concise and elegant, quite fit into secular society.

Yulia Polyakova, tattoo artist and piercing master

The Septum is one of the most painless piercings. It is made at the junction of two cartilages, without traumatizing the septum. The advantage of this type of piercing is that it can always be hidden by putting a flat earring, or simply wrapping the half ring (horseshoe) inside. For example, if the parents are very strict or the dress code at the event is unforgiving. Tested personally, the scheme works!

Microdermals

Remember when micro tattoos conquered the world. The trend has reached piercings as well! Microdermals are titanium anchor-shaped implants that are inserted under the skin and adorned with a crystal twist on top. Sounds a little creepy, but they look interesting on the body - like "permanent" rhinestones magically glued to the skin.

There is an opinion that microdermals are long and painful to heal. This is a myth: with proper care, it takes a few days to two weeks for the tissues to recover. There will always be many external factors that can harm the jewelry - from self-inadvertent trauma and natural contamination of the jewelry from cosmetics to viruses and bacteria that can get into the piercing channel. So if your piercing is starting to bother you, visit your handyman right away!

Hello, "noughties": should we expect a boom on pierced bellybuttons?

Flashbacks to the "2000s" read into many of today's fashion trends. But can this pattern be applied to "body worn" jewelry?

Eli Fenkova, the founder of El Piercing Jewelry, the first jewelry brand in Russia

The reason why belly button piercing has lost its relevance is simple - it's a firmly rooted fashion for an elevated waistline. However, if low-fit jeans are back in vogue in the near future, such a piercing is sure to break into the charts.

Photo: @el.piercing

True, in a new form. "Bananas" - jewelry consisting of a rod with two decorative elements - have long been an echo of the past. Belly button piercing requires new designs, such as elegant rings (remember the trend for elegance and brevity). The important thing to remember here is that rings can only be worn in healed piercings, so do now to be one of the first later.

Nose piercing

In this place, piercings can be performed in a variety of ways:

Bridge (horizontal or vertical) - performed at eye level and between the eyebrows, made in the bridge area;
Septum - decoration of the central cartilaginous septum of the nose (performed above the lip);
Septril - on the underside of the nasal tip;
Austin bar - along the horizontal side of the nasal tip.

For a woman, the best places for jewelry are the wings and the tip of the nose. Jewelry made of gold, with the addition of precious and semi-precious stones will look cute and add an exotic touch to the facial features.

More adventurous girls will suit septril or bridge, but such varieties are technically quite complicated.

Angelica, 16, 6 piercings

VOX: What does each piercing mean to you?

- Creative!

VOX: At what age did you get your first piercing?

- At the age of 12. My parents reacted very differently to it: my father pretended not to notice, and my mother looked at me shocked and waited for me to take the piercing off.

VOX: Did you regret what you did?

- No. Most likely, I regretted it when I took it off. But maybe I'll outgrow it at some point and realize it's a bad thing.

VOX: Will you continue the piercing?

- Yes, I think it will be body piercings no longer on the face, but on the body.

Angelica

VOX: Where did you get the inspiration and how did you come up with the image?

- From the great Internet, of course! A lot of interesting people, ideas, pictures. It's very unusual, I think.

VOX: What was the most painful puncture?

- Probably the "septum." There's a cartilage there. And there's this "theory" that when you pierce one side, a tear flows from that side and from the other side, here. The belly button piercing was not painful, but unpleasant: the needle goes inside you.

VOX: Do you consider yourself an informal person?

- Naturally!

Then I had an intimate piercing. But I had it done more for aesthetics and beauty than for pleasure or sexuality.

Anastasia

Belly button piercing

This place enjoys great popularity among the fair sex. A piercing of the upper part of the skin of the navel with a special "cone" needle is performed. The procedure takes an average of 5-10 seconds. After the piercing, you should choose the right earring and take good care of it to avoid infection.

Belly button jewelry allows you to emphasize sexuality and attract the attention of men. For these options piercings usually use "banana" of precious metals (gold, silver) or medical steel earrings with a variety of pendants.

Care after the piercing

After the piercing on int. places in girls can be various inflammations, bleeding, allergic reactions, which can later lead to serious problems. Wounds in such places need to be cared for with special care.

During the first two or three weeks, the puncture must be washed 5 times a day with a special disinfectant solution (miramistine, hydrogen peroxide, etc.). It is also necessary to apply an ointment with a healing effect.

Naturally, it is necessary to control hygiene, not to touch the piercing with dirty hands, and keep the place clean and dry.

Until the wound is completely healed, you should avoid baths, saunas, swimming pools and bodies of water. Sexual intercourse should also be avoided, so as not to injure yourself.

You should not change the piercing jewelry until the wound has completely healed, because there is a risk of infection.

It should be remembered that the time of healing is different for everyone. In addition, much depends on the place of the piercing and the choice of jewelry. The main thing is to follow the recommendations of the master, then everything will heal well.

Nipple Piercing

Ornaments in the nipples will suit the most liberated, confident girls who want to get the most pleasure from the love caresses. They can significantly increase the excitement of both the woman and her partner.

Can be performed vertically, horizontally or diagonally. Sometimes multipearsing is performed, in which several holes are pierced in one nipple.

Important! This is a rather unsafe type of piercing. Nipple piercing should not affect the mammary glands.

Why do this procedure

Girls who do piercings in intimate places, often want to emphasize their individuality and peculiarity;
it just looks beautiful and delivers aesthetic pleasure to the woman herself;
jewelry in such a place very much like the opposite sex, it turns you on;
it can diversify sex and bring new sensations;
piercing in this place stimulates not only the girl, but also her partner.

Extreme female piercings

Extreme piercing involves piercing the most unexpected parts of the body and decorating them with often very strange objects.

Corset

The piercing of this kind involves making punctures in several rows at some distance, and then the rings are inserted and the band is retracted. This option of piercing is used infrequently. It is performed on the back, arms, legs and thighs. In appearance, it resembles the lacing of a corset.

This option of body modification is recommended to do only for a short period of time. Such piercings look quite unusual and extravagant.

Flat piercing

Performed on any flat areas of the body (neck, chest, back, arms, legs). Can be decorated in the form of pictures or individual ornaments.

Consequences

If you did this procedure with a good master in a proven salon, followed all the rules for the care of the wound, then you should not have deplorable consequences. However, if mistakes were made in the process, then after the piercing, you can face serious trouble. Negative consequences of intimate body piercings:

infection, up to and including hepatitis B and AIDS;
Allergic reactions - redness of the skin, first near the site of the wound and then all over the body;
If you have had the procedure done on your clitoris in the wrong place, or if you have chosen the wrong jewelry, you can injure yourself during sexual intercourse;
If your nipples are not pierced correctly, they may become unsensitive.

Female intimate piercings

Female genital piercing is quite a popular option in recent times. Such piercings bring rich notes in the intimate sphere of life of modern people. The most popular types of such piercings include the following:

Superficial - pubic area piercings
Inner labia - Piercing of large and small labia
Clitoris -Piercing of the center or base of the clitoris
Hood - The piercing of a thin skin fold over the clitoris. Quite painful procedure
Nefertiti - the jewel is located deep below the clitoral nerve
Christina - Puncture of the skin fold at the junction of the labia majora. It takes quite a long time to heal (6-9 months).

It is important to understand that piercing, especially in the intimate areas, is associated with sufficiently strong pain sensations. Local anesthesia at the time of piercing can relieve them, but in the process of healing, which lasts up to several months, the unpleasant sensations can be quite strong.

Diana, 21 years old, 2 punctures

VOX: What does each piercing mean to you?

- Basically, they don't mean anything to me. I just understand that without piercings I will feel unharmonious. Right now I have a bridge piercing (author's note

- The piercing at the top of my nose bridge) and in my tongue.

VOX: How did your parents feel about it?

- When I was 16 my parents told me, "If you get a piercing, we'll rip it out with meat, ta-ta-ta." And when my mom saw my first piercing (it was in my nose) she said: "All right, now what." My dad is in the military, and he was kind of skeptical about my hobby, but now he's okay with it.

VOX: Ever regretted having a piercing?

- No. I did all the piercings myself, sitting in front of the computer "piercing". In full sterility, by the way: gloves, everything. That's sometimes asked to remove the breeches and people have such stupid questions, like "What's that through the bone?", well, I: "Aha, drilled through!

VOX: Will you stop there, or will your body still feel the punctures?

- I won't stop. I did and will continue to do so. I plan to do a septum.author's note.

- The piercing of the central nasal septum) and something on the body, possibly the collarbone. I also want to pierce my chest and pull tunnels in my ears. That's what I like about it - the whole process: when it heals, you have to take care of it. In short, I like to take care of something.

VOX: What do you do in life?

- Colorist and makeup. I work in web development. At this rather serious job my style is quite normal, that is, my passion for piercings and tattoos does not affect my ability to work.

VOX: Do you consider yourself to be informal?

- Yes!" said Diana proudly.

The area of the body, in the place of the future piercing is treated with antiseptic.
A special marking is put on the skin.
If necessary, a local anesthetic is used.
With a special needle with a catheter, the master makes the piercing, simultaneously installing the jewelry in it.
After the procedure, the piercing is repeatedly treated with antiseptic, the master gives detailed recommendations for further care.

Yaroslav, 18 years old, 12 punctures

VOX: How old was your first piercing?

- When I was 16, I had my first ear and eyebrow pierced.

VOX: Tell us about the nipple piercing.

- It's considered a tender spot, and I don't argue - it was painful (author's note.

- There are about 10,000 nerve endings in the nipples). When the first one was pierced, the master asked me, "We won't do the second one?" Well, of course we will! The only moment when I regretted it was when I took it off, and I had to take it off because I didn't handle it well and the punctures gave me inflammation. And I took it off my nose, because maxillary sinusitis did not let the earring take root.

Yaroslav

Yaroslav has some very impressive scars on his back as a result of the suspension punctures. There are four holes where they put the hooks in. It looks pretty scary, but that's what Yaroslav says about it:

- It's a certain experience and overcoming pain. One of my acquaintances suggested hanging, so I took the opportunity and decided to do it. We met, they stuck hooks in my back and I hung on them for a while.

VOXTell me, why?

- First of all, purely out of curiosity about whether I could stand it, and secondly, I wanted to try these unusual sensations. I've never had anesthesia and I've experienced everything on my own. And it is not as scary and painful as it seems at first glance. Although there were some difficulties: for the body, of course, it is a stress and the release of adrenaline makes the skin harden, so the thick hooks were a bit difficult to stick. After this procedure, when I stood up, I felt very dizzy. It was probably pain shock.

VOX: And how did your parents feel about it?

- You know, I hid the suspension from my parents. They're my age, so I decided not to shock them in order to avoid a premature heart attack. But all my friends and even my college administrator know about it.

VOX: How do your parents feel about facial piercings, because you can't hide them?

- When I was 16 they let me do what I want and said, "Do whatever you want with yourself. And I got a piercing at the first opportunity.

VOX: Will you stop there?

- No. I'll restore the cheek piercings and get a couple or three more new ones.

VOXVOX : What are your hobbies?

- I fence and make different kinds of jewelry.

Classical wing piercing

The most popular of all varieties of nose piercing is the wing piercing, as it is the easiest and most relevant type. This type of facial decoration fully heals from 4 to 6 weeks. As for the earring, with this kind of piercing, you can choose absolutely any shape. This type of nose piercing is considered the most modest and not flashy. But when deciding to get rid of the piercing, it is not possible to avoid traces. The scar on the outside of the nose will definitely remain slightly visible.

A bold type of nose piercing - a ring

Piercing with a ring is not suitable for everyone. Most often take this decision people who were in different youth movements, such as punks, goths, emo and others. It is not recommended to make such a piercing for women older than 30 - 35 years, because it can look inappropriate and sometimes ridiculous. Although for those who love to surprise and admire their own kind there are no obstacles. Girls with nose piercing in the form of a ring attract the eyes of passersby and amaze them with their appearance.
