VCH Gone Wrong!

Scarlet writes in about her VCH gone wrong — the piercer not only went through the hood, but kept right on going and pierced through the shaft and head of her clitoris, giving her an accidental Isabella piercing! Oooooops!

    jeez, I could have that that one better (assuming proper tools)

    My girlfriend also had a similar, though far less dangerous experience.
    She went to get a triangle, seems like nobody in Israel knows how to perform this, I’m referring to a piercing that goes under the clitoris. We talked to the piercer he said he’s done a plenty. It was at the beginning of our piercing journey and we didn’t know what else to ask.
    Anyway, in goes the needle and my girlfriend breaks down crying, which is no typical (she just got 6 outer labia piercings and barely flinched) a week later I took a closer look since she wouldn’t let me touch it before. The piercer passed the needle through BOTH inner labia. We never went back to that piercer for anything more then earlobes.

    Yeah… so, not only did they fuck up (which, I don’t see how a pro could do that because the hood is really pronounced, and with a receiving tube nothing could really go wrong)

    and WHY THE FUCK IS THERE AN UPSIDE-DOWN NAVEL RING IN IT!?

    I have a feeling she did it her self, I can’t imagine a pro screwing up THAT much and then putting in such inappropriate jewelry.

    why is everyone harping on a bananabell being used? i wear one in my hood piercing. all it is a curved barbell with one ball larger than the other. i like it because my hood’s kinda long and with smaller balls the bottom one isn’t visible. i mean, yeah, it’s upside down, but whatever. should the (not at all inappropriate) jewelry really be the issue here?

    also, i just noticed that this girl doesn’t seem to really have the anatomy for a vch. her hood is kind of tight fitting–doesn’t really look like there’s room for a vch, even if done properly, so i’m wondering why the piercer even attempted this piercing at all (besides the obvious fact that he/she is an idiot)

    I am on a piercing forum she goes on and she didnt do it herself. And its all taken out now, although as far as I know she still has no feeling.
    I think the problem is that the piercer didnt say anything like “Oh shit, Ive messed up”. She let her walk off and go home with it…

    Shit, that had to hurt Alot!
    When I got my vch the piercer also screwed it up. I had looked her up, found a couple of girls having gotten themselves a vch by that piercer, I also spoke to her asking how many she had done and so on.
    When i got there I knew she was gonna use a receiving tube and needle pushing down into the tube. I don’t have a problem with pain at all. And everyone had told me it would go Very quick. Then she inserted the tube under my hood, talked to me (I never want them to tell me When the are going to pierce) and then i felt the needle going through. Lying there I thought: This wasn’t bad AT ALL. But then, the pain of the needle going through didn’t stop! And then I felt pain in my actual clitoris. It didn’t take a second or two like people had said, it took much longer. And that confused me as the hood is Really thin and not much to pierce through.
    She had MISSED the receiving tube and the needle had kept going straight into my clitoris. She didn’t say anything, put in the jewelry and then I paid and left.
    The pain I felt wasn’t anything like I had been told it would feel like, because my clitoris hurt, never heard anyone mention that it would.
    Didn’t think much about it then. But the pain never stopped. I couldn’t sit, I couldn’t pee, I couldn’t walk. Nothing, without it hurting like a bitch. And sex, no way.
    Read that it heals really quickly, and yeah, it did. But the pain never went away in my clitoris. I spoke to several other piercers online asking them what the hell could have happened. No one knew. And it’s kinda hard to see Under your hood to see what is going on down there. I really loved my vch so I decided to bare with it. A couple of months later (still the same pain and everything) on my morning toilet visit i noticed Blood in my underwear. My period was not to be coming, and then i realized it came from my piercing. It kept bleeding for 24 hours or so. After that the pain stopped! Now it’s no longer uncomfortable at all and Finally I can enjoy it instead of suffer from it.
    I’ve poked around lifting and looking, can’t see anything that could be wrong with it. It doesn’t run through my actual clitoris or anything, just the hood.
    I still don’t really know what the hell happened with my vch, but I’m glad the pain stopped and i can now move and “use” it as normal without any discomfort at all.
    And yeah, NEVER gonna go back to that piercer. Even though you Think you have looked the piercer up and everything, you can never really know it seems.
    So, NEVER use clamps for a vch piercing. I’ve never seen a successful vch piercing performed with use of a clamp. And then again, my piercer used a receiving tube and still managed to fuck it up. HOW I don’t know, but man it hurt like a bitch for several months. Up until it bled, and after that it’s been perfectly fine.

    I just cannot comprehend how any piercer can mess up a VCH!! I find it one of the simplest piercings to perform. I am in total shock!!

    I echo Loris statement and also Warrens last paragraph is exactly what I was thinking.

    #32 No she did not do this herself. I happen to know the studio where she went to get this and they are barbaric, unprofessional and totally uneducated. On top of all that they’re over priced and just plain fucking rude and if you think the piercers are bad you should really check their tattooists out.. Christ on a bike!!

    People say things like “Oh but my friend works there and they’re good” blah blah blah. Anybody else who works in that studio if they were that good and knew what they were doing would not continue to work there and thus indorse such fucking stupidity.

    On the ‘thinking she’s done it herself’ thing.. being a woman myself.. with a clit.. I just can’t imagine anyone accidently piercing their OWN clit like that.. unless you didn’t know it existed or something!

    If she’d done it herself, she’d have done it… y’know… correctly.

    Women know where their own clits are. At least those wanting VCHs do…

    Any moron can pierce a VCH for goodness’ sake. Why do stories like these even exist??
