Inner Labia

As with many other piercings the labia piercing is one that has been done throughout history in many tribes and cultures. In the 1970’s and 1980’s the B&D and S&M scene and the adult porn industry made these piercings popular. Some tattoo artists used adult porn videos to teach themselves how to pierce as these were the only videos available showing piercings being done, mostly the extreme porn sections.

By the 1990’s these piercings were starting to be done by mainstream society and those who were considering the Clitoral hood but had reservations about it would get the inner labia as a sort of trial run.

At Body Pleasure Piercing we have found that when doing multiple inner labia it is best not to do them directly opposite each other as they can rub on each other and cause irritation and we will generally stager them so that they sit comfortably.

These piercings do make the area around the piercing slightly more sensitive but not a lot they are more aesthetic for the wearer and depending on ring size they can be stimulating for the partner.

In the 1990’s Wildcat brought out intimate buttons which were designed as domed bars to sit on the inner labia and rub on the male during intercourse. The inner labia stretch easily and so larger gauges tend to be more comfortable.

In 2019 these are not the most popular piercing as most women are more inclined to get the clitoral hood piercing.
