Top Three Things to Consider Before Getting Your Privates Pierced

We asked Jessica Simmons of River City Tattoo what readers who are thinking about getting their nether regions pierced need to know before a professional starts poking holes.

1. No sexual contact or swimming for at least three weeks.

2. No loofah sponges in the shower — they can become a tangled mess!

3. Genital piercing can increase, um, sensitivity. But it’s sort of like getting braces: At first they’re new and you know that they’re there, but in time your mouth gets used to them and they aren’t as noticeable.
