With the help of specific photos, I can check (at a distance) to determine which piercings suit your unique anatomy. An online consultation is required in order to book an appointment with me for a triangle or HCH piercing.

To check your anatomical suitability, I require specific images as shown and described below.

I need to see the following pictures and they must be clear and close-up: 

1. An at rest image of your hood area relaxed, with your knees wide, like the one at left
2. A view of your hood height (from the side and/or top)
3. A pinch test (behind the clitoral shaft for the triangle, in front of it for the HCH)
4. Vascularity images of both sides, at the base of your hood to check for vessels
5. Coin image for scale, with any US coin right next to your hood

Scroll down for examples.

Note that I ALWAYS wear gloves for client contact! Images without gloves were sent to me for consultations, and are posted anonymously and with permission.

Placement

Please see the photos below, which explain and demonstrate what I need to see to evaluate your anatomy for piercing suitability for a triangle piercing and/or an HCH piercing.

These are piercings that are placed, to some extent, by feel--especially the triangle. Therefore photos do have some limitations. I might not be able to tell with 100% certainty that you're suited to the piercing. But I can usually determine if you're obviously not a candidate. 

I'm happy to evaluate you even if you plan to go to another piercer.

Procedure

 

Thumbnail

Since fingers come in a wide variety of non-standard sizes, it can be difficult to discern relative scale, so taking a photo with a coin right next to your hood can be invaluable in helping me to evaluate your suitability for triangle and HCH piercings. The image below would have been better if the coin was slightly lower, and more adjacent the hood. In any case, it did allow me to see that this particular individual has a hood that is too petite for either of the horizontal piercing options.
