Placement:
American Ampallang: Pierced horizontally through the head of the penis above the urethra, toward the ridge of the corona.
European Ampallang: Positioned lower and more forward on the glans, passing through the urethra. This variation may heal faster due to less tissue being pierced, with urine potentially aiding healing.
Measuring for Proper Fit: Accurate measurement of your erect size at the intended piercing site is essential. Pre-measuring at home is highly recommended. If not measured beforehand and an erection can’t be achieved during marking, your piercer may give you privacy to assess your size. While this may feel awkward, precision is critical—too short a bar will pinch painfully when erect, while one that’s too long can cause discomfort and injury. Focus on accuracy over appearance to ensure a safe, comfortable fit. Pre-measuring at home to get an accurate measurement (using calipers) of your erect size is highly recommended. If not measured beforehand, your piercer will opt for a longer bar while healing. Too short a bar can be painful when erect, while one that’s too long can cause further discomfort and prolong healing.
Apadravya - The Apadravya piercing is a vertical piercing through the glans of the penis, typically placed where the coronal ridge begins to flare but can be positioned slightly forward depending on anatomy. Since it passes through the urethra, healing is generally quicker compared to similar horizontal placements. This piercing often incorporates elements of both a Prince Albert (PA) and reverse PA, creating a single vertical channel through the glans. Initial jewelry is usually a straight barbell, though some opt for separate pieces once healed. Individuals with an existing PA can often extend it into an apadravya, offering flexibility in jewelry choices and healing options. When performed in one session, the apadravya ensures alignment between the upper and lower channels and reduces healing time compared to separate piercings. Placement considerations include ensuring adequate spacing if combining it with a previously offset PA to avoid discomfort or tissue pinching.
Healing Time: 6-12 months

Dydoe - The Dydoe piercing is a rim piercing placed along the coronal ridge of the penis. It is typically performed with a 14 gauge curved barbell, with 12 gauge as an alternative for some. This piercing suits individuals with a well-defined coronal flare, though not all anatomies can safely accommodate it.
While visually striking, migration and rejection are common, even in ideal candidates. Careful consideration of anatomy and proper placement are essential to reduce these risks.
Healing Time: 6-12 months
Price: $109ea
Foreskin - The Foreskin piercing is typically done with a ring, straight barbell, or curved barbell in 12 or 10 gauge. While historically associated with certain cultural and chastity practices, it is now primarily sought for aesthetic appeal and enhanced sensation.
Healing Time: 2-3 months
Price: $109ea
Guiche - The Guiche piercing (pronounced like “geesh”) is placed in the perineum, the area between the scrotum and anus—and is usually done with a 12 or 10 gauge ring or curved barbell. It sits along the subtle vertical ridge (seam) of tissue in this region.
Primarily chosen for personal enjoyment, this piercing can heighten sensitivity and offer erotic stimulation. As with all piercings, anatomy and lifestyle should be considered during consultation to ensure a successful outcome.
Healing Time: 4-6 months
Price: $109ea
Pubic - The Pubic piercing is typically performed with a 10-gauge curved barbell, with ring-style jewelry being a less common option. This piercing is a visually appealing choice for those seeking a genital piercing that is visible when undressed but not placed on the penis. Although not involved in penetration, it can still offer sexual functionality; for example, a ring in this location may provide clitoral stimulation to a partner during intercourse.
Healing Time: 4-6 months
Price: $109ea
Prince Albert - The Prince Albert piercing passes through the underside of the glans and into the urethra, typically performed with a ring, circular barbell, or curved barbell. Common starting sizes are 10ga to 8 ga, though variations from 12ga to 6ga may be used depending on anatomy and preference. Despite myths linking it to royalty, the PA's name is more folklore than fact. Historically, it has been one of the most popular male genital piercings, favored for both its look and the variety of jewelry options. Although it may appear intense, the piercing actually passes through thin tissue, making it quicker and often less painful than expected.
Reverse Prince Albert - Reverse Prince Albert piercing travels vertically through the urethra and exits through the top of the glans, essentially forming the upper portion of an apadravya. Common starting sizes are 12ga to 8 ga circular or curved barbell, depending on anatomy and preference
Healing Time: 4-6 months

*If you already have a Prince Albert or Reverse Prince Albert, the jewelry and procedure may be adapted to complete an Apadravya piercing.
Frenum Piercing - The Frenum piercing is typically performed with a 12 or 10 gauge straight barbell, though larger gauges may be used depending on the piercer’s discretion.This piercing is one of the most popular genital piercings, second to the Prince Albert.
Healing Time: 3-4 months

Lorum Piercing - The Lorum piercing is typically performed with a 12 or 10 gauge ring or curved barbell, and can also be done in multiples to create a "ladder" effect. This piercing is placed at the natural fold where the penis shaft meets the scrotal sac, in the division between these two areas.
Healing Time: 3-4 months
Price: $109ea
Scrotum/Hafada - The Scrotum/Hafada piercing is most commonly performed with a ring style or curved bar in 12 or 10 gauge.The general location of a scrotum piercing is evident in its name, but the particulars are yours to determine. They can be placed pretty much anywhere the skin can be pinched. The piercing is called a Hafada when placed on the natural fold(s) on the side(s) of the upper portion of the Scrotum. Scrotum piercings most commonly go along the midline from lorum to guiche.
