Clitoris Piercing

The clitoris piercing requires very specific anatomy that is only present in a small percentage of women. The clitoris (glans clitoridis) must meet the following criteria:

• Sufficient Size: The clitoris must be large enough to be safely pierced by a needle without damaging surrounding tissue or nerve pathways.
• Exposed / Protruding: The clitoris must protrude sufficiently from under the hood to be easily accessible. In many women, the clitoris is largely covered by the hood, making safe piercing impossible.
• Stable Tissue Structure: The tissue must be firm enough to permanently support the jewelry without tearing or tissue damage.

Many women are not suitable candidates for this piercing. This is not a deficiency, but simply a matter of individual anatomy. If suitability is insufficient, we recommend the clitoral hood piercing as an excellent and safe alternative.

Due to the extremely high nerve cell density of the clitoris — with over 8,000 nerve endings in a very small area — this piercing carries higher risks than most other body piercings:

• Nerve Damage: Imprecise placement can damage nerve pathways, which can lead to permanent loss of sensitivity, numbness or chronic pain. This damage is in many cases irreversible.
• Hypersensitivity: Some wearers report such an intense increase in sensation that it is perceived as unpleasant or painful — especially with direct contact or friction from clothing.
• Infection Risk: As with any piercing, there is a risk of infection, which however can have more serious consequences due to the anatomical location and high sensitivity of the tissue.
• Bleeding: The strong blood supply to the clitoris can lead to heavier bleeding during and after the procedure than with other piercings.

Wearers of a clitoris piercing typically report an extreme increase in sensitivity. The clitoris is already the most sensitive organ in the female body, and a piercing through this tissue further amplifies perception.

This intensification is experienced by some wearers as very positive and enriching. Others report, however, that the increased sensitivity can be too intense — especially during everyday activities such as walking, sitting or wearing certain clothing. In rare cases, this leads to the piercing being removed.

It is therefore essential that you receive thorough consultation before making a decision and have realistic expectations about the outcome. The experience is highly individual and cannot be generalized.

Due to the uniqueness of this piercing, the procedure at XS Piercing is particularly thorough and carefully structured:

1. Mandatory Initial Consultation: A detailed consultation including anatomical assessment is mandatory. This typically takes place at a separate appointment before the actual piercing appointment.
2. Anatomical Suitability: The procedure is only carried out when anatomical prerequisites are clearly met. In cases of doubt, we honestly recommend alternatives.
3. Local Anesthesia: Given the high sensitivity of the clitoris, local anesthesia is especially important for this procedure and is naturally included in the price.
4. Precise Execution: The procedure is performed by our most experienced piercers with the highest precision and under sterile conditions.
5. Aftercare: You receive detailed care instructions and are asked to contact us immediately in case of any complications.
