Christina piercing
A Christina, or Venus, piercing is a surface piercing where the outer labia meet. It goes under the skin of the mons pubis — it is neither a clitoral piercing nor a VCH. 9 models in stock.

All sectionsIntimate piercingWhy it behaves like a surface piercing
Both openings sit in the same plane, with a layer of skin between them, so the body pushes the bar out far more readily than it would in an ordinary piercing. Migration and rejection are the normal course here, not a rare complication.
Jewellery
A surface bar or curved barbell at 1.6 mm. Rings are not worn in a Christina: the curve pulls the channel and speeds up rejection.
Healing
3 to 6 months, provided it does not migrate. Friction from underwear matters more here than aftercare does.
Size and material
| Material | Titanium — 7 models. Contains no nickel, so it causes no reaction even in a fresh piercing. Lighter than steel — less load on the tissue. The material of first choice. 316L steel — 2 models. Cheaper, corrosion-resistant, suitable for a healed piercing. For the first jewellery titanium is the better choice. |
|---|---|
| Thickness | 1.6 mm — 6 models, 1.2 mm — 2 models. The thickness must match the one the piercing was made with. |
| Bar length | 10 mm — 7 models, 8 mm — 2 models, 12 mm — 1 model, 6 mm — 1 model. A longer bar is needed while the swelling lasts, a shorter one — for a healed piercing. |
| Thread | Internal — 5 models, External — 4 models. An internal thread is hidden inside the bar — it does not scratch the channel when changing. |
| Insert | Synthetic opal — 4 models, None — 2 models, Cubic zirconia — 1 model. |
