Finally got my VCH yesterday I have wanted one for years. I am so happy I finally got it. I met my hubby at the piercing shop. We went in I let the girl behind the counter know what I wanted. She informed us that the piercer was piercing someone so it would be a few minutes. No problem we looked around the shop at the different jewelry displays. When the piercer was done with her previous client she called me back to do a consult to see if a VCH was a viable piercing for me. She said my hood was perfect for the this placement. So we wen back up front to pick out jewelry and get everything ready for the autoclave. I ended up picking a curved 12 gauge 3/8 stainless steel barbell. It took about 10 minutes for the autoclaving process to be competed. Hubby came to the back for moral support. He held my hand while the piercer had me breath in and out she pierced me on the out breath. There was a quick sharp pain that made me jump she put the jewelry in and I was done. All in all the exeperience was a lot smoother than I expected. I can hardly wait for it to finish healing.

I'm kinda unclear on the concept. Do you have a picture? What does vch stand for?

It stands for vertical clitoral hood piercing.

Personally, I think the OP should post this sort of experience somewhere like bmezine.com, a blog, or in sexuality. I don't think it belongs in general discussion.

The aftercare rules on that are like no sex for two weeks right? Have you had any discomfort sitting or anything like that?

I'm debating what to get for my new piercing now that my back tattoo is finished but I'm thinking I'll do my lips and put off the VHC for a bit longer.

Walk-in genital piercings? I'm intrigued. Too bad the only place around here worth going to is half an hour in the opposite direction from work when I don't have a car

Anormalguy

This probably isn't the place to ask, but...I've read several posts in various TFP forums that refer to photos of TFPers. I'm guessing that there is a hidden (for lack of a better word) forum/section here at TFP?

There are sections that people can only see once they're established members and a mod or admin has gotten around to confirming that fact. Don't worry about it and before you know it, you'll see more forums on the index page.

Anormalguy

Thanks, I appreciate the information.

I always wonder: who was the first person to come up with this idea? Was it like, "I lost an earring and have just this one now...where should I stick it?"

You'll have to keep us updated on how it works out for you. I'm curious -there are any special procedures for keeping your new hood piercing infection-free? I recall when I went to get my ears pierced I was given some solutions.

You gave me a chuckle.

I think you missed what Leto meant. (I was laughing at least.)

curiousbear

Thanks for the detailed description. I wish you post the picture.
We are planning a tatoo for my girl. We just dont know where and how to approach. We are totally new the WA (and US). And hesitant to ask anyone around.

MSD

bmezine has sections available to the public where people's experiences with piercers are posted. It helped my decide conclusively where I want mine done, both because they're super-professional and skilled, and because they'll probably be able to get me exactly what I want, which includes the phrase "something that will set off metal detectors."

digme

Awesome. How did you originally decide that you wanted one? I've been considering a piercing, but I keep chickening out. Maybe for my next birthday...

I've had a VCH for about 3 years now they can be fantastic if done right. I have a friend who's a piercer, she's done all of mine and my friends piercings - trying to convince her to train me on the weekends infact.

Then again I love all my piercings and tatts - I'm a bit of a body art addict

There are a few issues to keep in mind though :

1) Not all women have a clitoral hood big enough for the piercing.

2) With incorrect placement the piercing can rub directly on the clit, might sound great but will eventually lead to insensitivity.

Most of the time genital and oral piercings of any kind (well I know for tongue piercings anyways) do have a time period in which you're not meant to expose them to any form of bodily fluid.

The origins of nipple piercings can be traced back to the Romans. Pierced nipples were sported by proud Roman centurions as a sign of their virility and courage, the practice was also common amongst Victorian society girls to enhance the size of their nipples.

Navel piercing was a sign of royalty to the ancient Egyptians and was something denied to commoners, hence a deep navel was prized amongst the Egyptian elite.
The Prince Albert piercing through the penis, called a dress ring by Victorian haberdashers, was originally used to firmly secure the penis in either the left or right trouser leg during that eras craze for extremely tight crotch binding trousers. Prince Albert himself was rumoured to wear such a ring. Today its function is erotic as is the Dydoe, a male genital piercing of more modern origin. Other erotic male genital piercings are the Apadrayvia and Ampallang. The origins of these can be found in the Karma Sutra, the ancient Hindhu book about love and social conduct, and practised as a right of passage into puberty by the Dravidson people of southern India, though not thought to be commonplace.

Other male genital piercings have their origins as a means of chastisement. The Frenum of European origin, and the foreskin, which was performed on some Roman slaves, though both are now performed as erotic piercings. To celebrate the coming of manhood some Arab youths would have a piercing on the left side of the scrotum, near the base of the Penis called a Haffada, believed to prevent the testis from ever returning to the body. This practice was brought to Europe by French Legionnaires from North Africa, usually pierced on the left and sometimes the right as well.
Female genital piercings, the Clitoris and the inner and outer Labia, are a more modern development and are done primarily for erotic reasons. Though there are examples of Labia piercings being used as a means of chastisement amongst some African tribes this practice is dying out.

Ear lobe and ear rim piercings can be found in most tribal cultures, ear lobe stretchings can be found amongst the people of Northern India, Burma, ancient Egyptian culture (the mask of Tuttenkharmun has a stretched ear lobe) and African tribes in and around what is now Kenya. Ivory ear plugs are worn by African Samburu warriors whereas the Masai and Pokot peoples wear many rings in stretched ear lobes, this was also common practice with some of the plains tribes in North America.
The African Dogon, Kudi and Lobi peoples perform ear, nose and lip piercings on girls to enable them to wear ornaments as women that will enhance their features, to show tribal identity and to protect them from badsprits, believed to enter the body through these orifices. Nose piercing is also widespread in parts of India. This practice was popular amongst the Mughals and indicates whether a women is single or married.

Lip plugs are worn by African Pokot girls when they are married, this is also practiced amongst Turkama men and women. Amongst some Amazonion tribes lip plugs on men denote their status, elders are valued for their wisdom and have bigger plugs or plates inserted every year.

More modest lip or labret piercings are worn by the Nunivak tribes in North America. The women would wear beaded ear pendants or rings with flat pieces of walrus ivory and coloured cloth in Labret and Septum piercings for ceremonies. Silver jewellery was worn in the septums of the Clayoquot tribes further south for status.

Septum piercings are also still worn by the tribesmen in parts of Papua new Guinea, often adorned with plant stems and bone jewellery. Other piercings such as the eyebrow, tongue and ear piercings, such as the tragus, anti-tragus and rook, are modern piercings developed in the west.

The only aftercare instructions I got was to avoid tight trousers and underwear for a few days (well actually was told to go commando) and to try to have cool baths with salty water. Like with all piercings and tattoos chlorinated water is a no no til the body art is completely healed. Would probably have gotten more instructions if the piercer didn't know me so well and knew that I knew the drill.

If you want a painful piercing that takes forever to heal, with a good chance that it never will, try an apadravya.
