I’ve seen a lot of unusual piercings over the last thirteen years. However, I think of all rare piercings, the rarest may well be the hymen piercing (among other things, most women who go for genital piercings are sexually active already). The example in this entry (click here for an unpierced before shot) was done by Ralf at Visavajara in Freiburg, Germany (one of my favorite towns in Germany), and it is only the second example of one that I’ve seen.
I am afraid I do not know the stories behind either of the two piercings… In the case the customer didn’t say why they wanted the piercing, and Ralf didn’t pry. I can think of a million interesting reasons for these, but I don’t know which of them it is.

Now I’m wondering what I looked like “down there” before I started having sex cause this picture only confuses me.
I went to high school with a girl whos last name is Hymen. Her first name was Tara. You’ll never guess what her dad did for a living…gynecologist! True story.
Hmm odd…well actually intruiging. Has anyone considered maybe she’s happy with a penis lacking lifestyle? She could be a lesbian.

reminded me of the hymnex project.. check it out… i have a huge crush on the girl doing this project… anyway it’s designer hymens.
sorry, I am german and my english is terrible ! ok, that girl is infact 19 years old. so it is legal, visavajara is a serious, thprofesssional studio for piercing & bodymodification. I’m not sure the story behind is really interesting for public. it is a very rare piercing and my intension to show this pic on bme was to share this with you !! enjoy.
infact this vaginal anatomic is tiny, but the girl is not a colossus. the clit you can see upside of the entrance of the vagina, half covered of the hood. ( do not understand the discussion, the clit is where it has to be) some woman have her clit also after ‘loosing their virgin’, ’cause it is very stretchable. sometimes after defloration it is possible there is some restpart which do not regenerate. but —————
do not loose in woozily anatomic discussions.
she is very happy to have this piercing, and I’m very happy that I did it !! best regards ralf
dammed english !! for sure ‘some woman have her HYMEN also after ‘loosing their virgin’ instead of clit.
and shannon : freiburg is waiting of a visit of you, hehe
I’d love to come and visit!
Best way to get women to never have sex is if you tell them they’ll lose their clit hahah
Article 184 b of the German Penal Code (StGB – “Strafgesetzbuch”) governs child pornography. For the purposes of the law, a child is defined as a person younger than 14 years of age.
Most people forget that America is uptight bout nudity.
And who is going to see that?
an interesting piercing no doubt!
maybe she’s a lesbian, never had sex with a penis (sorry, guys, it’s not that you’re objects, you know…) and prefers oral sex/petting/whatever to sticking stuff into her vagina.
so many dumb ideas why it’s there, had to share one.
Itty bitty clitty comittee!
with #50′s comment… i can tell you mine definitely broke (thank you boyfriend’s apadravya jewelry). it was quite amusing to see though. it ripped and there was a very tiny but visible piece of it sitting in the shower. so of course i had to point it out to the boyfriend! we got a good laugh out of it.
Dang, no wonder guys never find the bits they need. I didn’t think there was anything odd about her anatomy and there’s people wondering where everything’s hidden. Sheesh. Somebody needs to start doing the Puppetry of the Vulva performances so people would get that if you stretch it out like that the folds do disappear.
Yeah, maybe I’ve just seen way too many variations on female genitals, but I’m with Asurfael on this… I think it’s well within the realm of normal anatomy!
im going to laugh my ladybits off if somehow the ring gets caught on something….and breaks her hymen! bahahaha!
….ok, I’m confused and with #45. I also have this little ‘nubbin’ as I refer to it, I always have and a fair few of my ex’s did too although, granted, others didn’t.
I really didn’t think it was the hymen or even a part of it. If it is I’m surprised that I still have remains of mine after breaking it through showjumping horses when I was 13, and I would have thought being sexually active since 15 would have finished it off.
I always put the it down to yet another variation of female anatomy; some girls have little lips, some have larger, some girls have a smooth path from urethra to vagina, some have ‘nubbins!’ 🙂 Any gynos in the house? haha.
Her entire taco is no bigger than the guys thumb!
I remember when mine ripped after I lost my V. I saw it floating in the potty.
So is she gonna have her period all over her piercing every month then? ew.
I don’t ever remember having a hymen, it also didn’t hurt to lost my virginity, and i didnt’ bleed at all.
so… if sex breaks the hymen.. wouldn’t a piercing break the hymen?
I don’t understand at all…
First of all, everybody’s hymen is different. Everybody’s clitoris is different. Everybody’s vagina, labia, etc. are all different. So while it’s fun to point to a picture of a baby and say “no, THIS is what a hymen looks like, THAT is not a hymen,” the fact is that they could very well both be hymens. Ditto for anybody who says “well MINE doesn’t look like that” – again, they’re all different, whether broken or unbroken, they are still all different.
That said, I agree with metlakatla #72. If she had an intact hymen before, she doesn’t now! 🙂
Come to think of it, that piercing looks an awful lot like a Princess Albertina.
For those talking about female circumcision, you guys worry me; her clit is small – like the rest of her vulva – but it’s clearly visible!
IT IS a HYMEN, and maybe it’s pierced so she will refrain from sex until she’s married or such, so she won’t ‘give into temptation’ or something like that. Her clit is also visible as stated by previous comments, it is the ‘nubbin’ up where the labia meet!
Also I’m pretty sure a Princess Albertina is up beneath the clit, its a pierced urethra (where the pee comes out).
if it was to reframe from sex then i dont think it work not stop me from going in if one was going to do that why not just run 4 or 5 down the out side of there and have it “closed”
