The Christina piercing - a visually attractive intimate piercing

The Christina piercing - a visually appealing intimate piercing The Christina piercing is the most popular and most frequently pierced intimate piercing for women. Because of its exposed position, this piercing is also called a mons pubis piercing or Venus piercing for short. Other names for these piercings are Catherine piercing and pubic bone piercing. Piercings on the ears, nose and lips are a very old form of decoration that is widespread in many cultures. Since the 1980s, piercings have increasingly conquered the western world and new, so-called surface piercings have been added.

The Christina piercing is one of them. It is attributed to Tom Brazda, a pioneer of the piercing movement who was born in what was then Czechoslovakia and lives in Canada. He is said to have pierced this intimate piercing for the first time in the 1990s in the legendary Stainless Studios, on a woman named Christina. Brazda is also credited with other piercing innovations such as the Medusa piercing. Are you thinking about getting a intimate piercing? Below you will find out more about the procedure, risks, costs and suitable piercing jewelry for this visually appealing intimate piercing.

The execution and piercing of the Christina piercing

A Christina piercing is performed while lying down and is pierced vertically from below using a venous catheter into the upper fold of the converging labia. It exits at the mons pubis. As with all piercings, the piercer will first mark the entry and exit points. The piercer naturally wears gloves while working and disinfects the intimate area professionally. The first piercing jewelry is individually adjusted by the piercer after the piercing so that the piercing fits perfectly right from the start. The first and later piercing jewelry for the intimate piercing is almost always a curved barbell, also known as a piercing banana. In a few cases, a surface barbell or a barbell, i.e. a straight piercing bar, is also used.

Anatomical requirements for a Christina piercing

Anatomically, this intimate piercing is possible for most women. There are a few exceptions for women whose clitoris skin is directly attached to the mons pubis and who therefore simply do not have the necessary fold of skin that would have to be pierced vertically for the piercing. An experienced piercer can quickly tell in the studio whether the intimate piercing can be done without any problems. Incidentally, unlike other intimate piercings such as a Nefertiti piercing or a clitoral hood piercing, the Christina piercing does not have a sexually stimulating effect. The appeal of the intimate piercing is purely optical. It will therefore of course have a stimulating effect.

Pain, Dangers and Risks of Christina Piercing

Whether a Christina piercing is painful and to what extent it hurts is something every woman experiences differently. However, experts largely agree that the Christina piercing is one of the less painful intimate piercings for women and that the risk of infection is not very high. Of course, every piercing carries a certain risk, and so does the Christina piercing. In any case, you should trust an experienced piercer for a Christina piercing and follow the instructions he or she gives you exactly. Nevertheless, slight irritation of the skin can still occur during the healing process. Your piercer will recommend a suitable care product to treat this irritation, which can be used to control mild irritation. Pressure, friction and wearing clothing that is too tight should be completely avoided for the time being. If painful inflammation occurs, you must of course see a doctor immediately to prevent a serious infection.

Healing and Caring for a Christina Piercing

Like most other piercings, a intimate piercing requires patience and discipline. The complete healing time for a Christina piercing is given as three to four months, which is comparatively long. During the entire healing period, contact with perfumed or other aggressive shampoos and care products as well as bodily fluids should be avoided. Skin irritants such as hair dyes or tints are also completely taboo.

Visiting public baths or the sauna is also prohibited. In the first few days after piercing, daily care with a suitable piercing spray is recommended. Touch your intimate piercing as little as possible and if you do, only with thoroughly cleaned and, if possible, disinfected hands. In a responsible piercing studio, you will receive precise instructions on how to behave with a fresh Christina piercing and you should follow these as closely as possible. In the first few weeks after the intimate piercing, you should not shave your mons pubis and it is better to avoid the area when shaving later on.

Chastity during healing - at least initially

In the period after a piercing, pressure and friction on the intimate area should be avoided as much as possible. This is why chastity is unfortunately required, especially at the beginning. In the first few weeks after the piercing, sex should be avoided completely, and even after that, until the piercing has completely healed, great caution is advised. It is better to choose a position in which the mons pubis is not mechanically irritated or stressed. However, it has also been shown that the most common infections are not caused by sexual intercourse, but rather by getting caught on underwear and clothing. For this reason, it is better to wear healthy cotton rather than lace lingerie for the time being and give the piercing enough space and air. Pants that are too tight could be very uncomfortable in the beginning anyway.

The Piercing during Pregnancy

A piercing and pregnancy are not mutually exclusive. To avoid unpleasant pressure and friction during this very special time, wearing a piercing made of Bioflex PTFE plastic is recommended, at least in advanced pregnancy. When the delivery is approaching, the piercing should be removed completely. The Christina piercing must not remain on the body during the birth itself. Of course, a Christina piercing can also close up again under certain circumstances. However, this does not happen so quickly and if the pregnancy and the period after the birth go normally, you will certainly be able to put your Christina piercing back in soon.

Strengthen your immune system after every piercing

As with any piercing, it is important to ensure that the immune system remains strong after a piercing. The best way to do this is to lead a healthy lifestyle. Eat a balanced diet and take in plenty of vitamins and minerals. It is best to completely avoid nicotine and of course drugs and drink as little or no alcohol as possible. If you want to get pregnant, this kind of behavior and a healthy lifestyle will of course also be helpful.

How much does a Christina piercing cost in a reputable studio?

Of course, we don't want to dictate prices to the piercing studio you trust. Prices for piercings can vary greatly from region to region. It's better to pay a little more and go to a reputable studio where you feel comfortable and that works cleanly, responsibly and in an absolutely hygienic manner. The prices for a Christina piercing and the initial jewelry are probably between 60 and 100 euros.
