More women today are getting their labia pierced for both aesthetic and pleasurable reasons. There are two places to put a labial piercing, the inner labia and the outer labia. You and your piercer can decide which part of your labia to pierce.

Difficulty: Easy
Instructions
  1. Step 1

    Decide which labia to get pierced, the inner or outer. The inner labia is more popular with a healing time between 2 and 4 weeks, while the outer labia heals somewhere between 2 and 4 months.

  2. Step 2

    Check your local phone book for a list of piercing studios to visit. Piercing studios are generally lumped under tattoo studios in such listings.

  3. Step 3

    Visit at least three studios and talk to their piercers. Discuss things like price and how long they have been piercing. A professional should answer all your questions without making you feel foolish.

  4. Step 4

    After you have chosen a piercer set a time and day to get your labia pierced. If this is your first piercing set your appointment at a time when you will not feel rushed to get on with your day.

  5. Step 5

    Follow all aftercare directions your piercer gives you. It is your best bet against getting an infection.

Tips & Warnings
  • Most tattoo studios incorporate a piercer into their staff.
  • Visiting with more than one piercer gives you more information than just talking to one.
  • Make sure you eat at least an hour before you go to your appointment.
  • Do hesitate to ask many questions while considering any type of piercing.
  • If your partner also has genital piercings, be careful not to get the jewelry tangled.
