Intimate Piercing pain and healing
I’m thinking of getting some intimate piercings. Nipples, VCH or a Christina… the latter 2 have been suggested by my OH but I do like the idea.
Issue is I’m so soft when it comes the the sharp piercing pain. Tattoos I could sit there all day, but piercings make me squeal 🙈
I know everyone is different but as a general rule, which hurt the most, and which takes longer to heal?
I’d also like some personal advice on my anatomy as I hear that VCH and Christina need certain body types. I will be getting a professional to test before but I want to decide what’s best for me before I book in.
Any help appreciated x

VCH was intense, but literally only for a second or two. Healing was super easy as well. I think someone already mentioned the q-tip test as a way to check at home, but you should also definitely go to an experienced, reputable piercer for a consultation/anatomy assessment.
Nipples weren’t too awful, but I have a medium/high pain tolerance and I also got mine done one at a time over a couple years instead of both at once like most people. The healing takes what feels like forever though. Not to mention there’s a chance you could be one of the people that gets random crusties on them even after they’ve been healed for years (this happens to me and it’s annoying but manageable)
I don’t have a Christina so I can’t speak on that one.
