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][AI-retrieved source]}
