Clitoris piercing

Clitoris piercing
Location	Clitoral glans
Jewelry	Captive bead ring, barbell

A clitoris piercing is a genital piercing placed directly through the head (glans) of the clitoris itself. It is a relatively uncommon piercing by choice because of the potential for nerve damage,^[1] and because many may find it too stimulating to allow the constant wearing of a small ring or barbell. Most piercing studios will refuse to do a clitoral piercing.^[2] It is often confused with the more common clitoral hood piercing, which pierces only the hood covering the clitoral glans,^[1] allowing the jewelry to make only occasional contact with the most sensitive area.
