Isabella piercing is a female genital piercing. It is a deep clitoral shaft piercing that starts below the clitoris and above the urethra, which goes up through the clitoral shaft and exits at the top of the hood. [1] [2]

The Isabella piercing was first documented in issue 17 of Piercing World Magazine.[ citation needed ] As an Isabella piercing intersects the shaft of the clitoris, it is considered to be high risk for nerve damage and is therefore extremely rare. [1] Like other female genital piercings, [1] the Isabella piercing is anatomy-dependent. Nerve damage can result from piercing a clitoris that is too small or from piercing through the shaft of the clitoris and through the dorsal nerve.[ citation needed ] Piercing through the shaft of the clitoris can also result in excessive bleeding and blood loss to the clitoris. Healing time is 2-3 months.[ citation needed ] The Nefertiti piercing was invented in response to the inherent dangers involved with the Isabella piercing. [3]

Jewelry

Isabellas are usually pierced with custom made barbells usually in 16 to 14 gauge and 5⁄16 in to 7⁄16 in.
