A VCH piercing is a type of female genital piercing that runs vertically along the clitoral hood, which is the thin fold of skin that sits over the glans clitoris. The piercing does not penetrate the clitoris itself, but it can enhance sexual pleasure by increasing sensitivity and providing stimulation to the clitoris during sex acts. The piercing is typically done with a sterilized needle, and a curved barbell or captive bead ring is inserted into the hole. The healing time for a VCH piercing is typically 8-12 weeks. While the piercing is generally safe, there are some risks associated with it, such as infection, bleeding, and pain. It is important to consult with a professional piercer to determine if you are a good candidate for the piercing based on your anatomy and health.
