Female genital piercings
Depending on how long the pubic hair is, the piercer may need to trim the hair; shaving is not necessary. Shaving can be very irritating if the piercee has never shaved or does not shave regularly which will only compound the general irritation of getting a new piercing. Trimming the hair allows the piercer to clean the area thoroughly, mark the piercing (between hair follicles), and apply forceps without catching hair.
If a woman desires multiple piercings, not only must the placement be decided based on your anatomy but on the placement of your existing piercings. Outer labia piercings can pinch a hood or inner labia piercings. A pair of outer labia rings can pinch the inner labia if the inner labia protrude between the outer.
