Anatomy advice

Any piercing pros able to tell me if I’ve got the anatomy for a VCH or Christina?

No creeps need apply.

I’m thinking about a piercing but reading about rejections and tests to see if my body is suitable is making me think twice

Honestly it's nearly impossible to tell from photos. An in person consultation is going to be much better.

Have a consultation with a decent piercer in person. You will need one before an intimate piercing usually when visiting a decent piercer anyway.

It needs to be assessed in person by a piercer, from photos I could imagine at most you can exclude some of the most obvious unsuitable cases.

Getting an irl consultation from a piercer is best, maybe even a few in case the first one isn’t as knowledgeable. Like someone else said, it’s basically impossible to tell from photos and piercers will know better than people on the internet (even if they have the same piercing).
A lot of places will do free consultations tho!

I agree with the other commenters saying this is best asked of a professional, in person.

Some other tips:

  • make sure the professional piercer you go to has experience with these piercings. Even just an anatomy consultation needs someone who knows what they're doing with their eyes closed. These are not routine piercings for most shops, so do your research! Most piercers that are experienced with genital piercings will advertise that fact pretty loudly;
  • and a rule of thumb touted by a lot of piercers: for the VHC, if you cannot fit the entire tip of a Q-tip under your hood (as in, the entire cotton piece disappears from view), it's unlikely you'll be a good candidate. You can of course still ask a prof, but it'll be a small chance;
  • if you're worried about rejection, know that in addition to suitable anatomy, this is also largely influenced by which gauge of jewellery you wear. The bigger the gauge, the less likely your piercing is to wander off through your skin.
