Triangle Piercing[edit]

A triangle piercing is a type of body piercing that is located at the base of the clitoris, where the inner labia meet the clitoral hood. This piercing is named for its triangular shape, which is formed by the jewelry as it passes beneath the clitoral shaft.

Anatomy and Placement[edit]

The triangle piercing is unique because it is placed horizontally behind the clitoral shaft, rather than through the clitoral hood itself. This requires a precise understanding of the individual's anatomy, as not everyone has the suitable anatomy for this piercing. The piercer must ensure that there is enough tissue to support the jewelry and that the piercing does not interfere with the clitoris itself.

Procedure[edit]

The procedure for a triangle piercing involves the following steps:

The piercer will first examine the anatomy to ensure suitability for the piercing.
The area is then cleaned and marked for accuracy.
A hollow needle is used to create the piercing channel.
Jewelry, typically a curved barbell or captive bead ring, is inserted into the piercing.

Jewelry[edit]

The most common types of jewelry used for triangle piercings are:

Curved barbells: These are often preferred for their comfort and ease of healing.
Captive bead rings: These can also be used, depending on personal preference and anatomy.

Healing and Aftercare[edit]

Healing time for a triangle piercing can vary, but it typically takes between 6 to 8 weeks. Proper aftercare is crucial to prevent infection and ensure proper healing. Aftercare instructions generally include:

Cleaning the area with saline solution twice daily.
Avoiding sexual activity for at least 4 to 6 weeks.
Avoiding tight clothing that may irritate the piercing.

Risks and Considerations[edit]

As with any body piercing, there are risks involved with a triangle piercing, including:

Infection: Proper hygiene and aftercare are essential to prevent infection.
Rejection or migration: If the jewelry is not suited to the individual's anatomy, it may migrate or be rejected by the body.
Nerve damage: Although rare, improper placement can lead to nerve damage, affecting sensation.

-The triangle piercing is unique in that it requires specific anatomical features to be safely performed. The piercing passes horizontally beneath the clitoral shaft, which means there must be enough space between the clitoris and the pubic bone. This space is necessary to avoid nerve damage and to ensure the jewelry can sit comfortably without causing pressure on the clitoris itself.
