Reverse PA Piercing

A reverse PA piercing is a variation of the Prince Albert piercing that enters through the urethra and exits on the top side of the glans instead of the underside. Unlike a traditional PA, this piercing does not use the natural opening of the frenulum, which can make it more prone to granulated tissue, migration and rejection.

A reverse PA piercing ring is jewelry designed for this type of piercing, often a circular barbell or a captive bead ring. Due to the exit placement, curved barbells are sometimes preferred to reduce pressure on the surrounding tissue.

The area is prepped thoroughly via rubbing alcohol or povidone iodine. A professional piercer marks the appropriate points with a single-use sterile surgical marker. The area is pierced passing through the urethra, using a sterile, single-use, disposable needle, sometimes braced by a NRT or other various instruments.
Some techniques the piercer may choose to stretch one size to help mitigate bleeding. The piercer will then install sterile, implant-certified barbell through the newly created piercing channel and threads on the bead. Extreme precision is required.

A fistula is the internal tunnel of healed tissue that forms around the jewelry. In a reverse PA, the fistula may take longer to develop compared to a standard PA due to increased movement and potential stress on the tissue.

It is called a reverse PA piercing because it is an inverted version of the traditional PA, exiting through the top of the glans instead of the underside.

Some choose this piercing for aesthetic appeal, sensitivity enhancement, or personal preference. However, it is less common due to potential healing challenges and jewelry placement concerns.

Sexual activity should be avoided during the first 6-12+ weeks of the initial healing phase to prevent irritation, swelling, and possible complications. Once fully healed, many find that the piercing enhances sensation.

Pain varies by individual, however, discomfort is expected during the procedure as this piercing tends to be more painful than a standard PA due to the exit placement through the glans tissue.

The level of pain depends on individual pain tolerance, but it is typically described as a sharp pinch followed by pressure.

Healing time ranges from 4 to 6 months, though some cases may take longer depending on jewelry fit, aftercare, and individual healing factors.

A reverse PA wand is a specialized piece of jewelry that extends through the urethra and exits at the piercing site, often designed for aesthetics or sensation enhancement.

It appears as a small opening on the top of the glans, often adorned with a curved barbell or a circular ring.
