A Triangle Piercing is a female genital piercing placed horizontally beneath the clitoral hood, just behind the clitoral shaft itself. Similar to how a Vertical Clitoral Hood (VCH) piercing doesn’t actually pierce the clitoris, a Triangle Piercing also does not pierce the clitoris but sits under it, potentially providing enhanced stimulation.

People choose this piercing for:

• Because it’s Super Duper Cool!
• Enhanced sexual sensation due to contact with the underside of the clitoris.
• Aesthetic reasons, as it remains hidden under the hood.
• Personal or cultural significance related to body modification.

The area is prepped thoroughly via alcohol or povidone iodine. A professional piercer marks the appropriate points with a single-use sterile surgical marker. The area is pierced using a sterile, single-use, disposable needle, sometimes braced by a NRT or other instruments. The piercer will then install sterile, implant-certified barbell through the newly created piercing channel and thread the bead. Extreme precision is required.

While pain is subjective, it is considered one of the more painful genital piercings because it passes through a dense band of tissue. The pain is intense but short-lived.
