Nefertiti piercing
Female genital piercing
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A Nefertiti piercing is a female genital piercing that is a combination of a vertical clitoral hood piercing[1] and a Christina piercing. Healing can be lengthy, given the amount of tissue the jewelry must pass through. Flexible bars are recommended by professional piercers because of the pressure that can be put on the piercing from passing through so much flesh.

History
The history of the Nefertiti piercing dates back to the late 1990s and early 2000s. A key factor in its origin was to serve as a safer alternative to the more dangerous Isabella Piercing, another female genital piercing that may result in nerve damage or loss of sensation if performed incorrectly or by an inexperienced piercer.
Named after Queen Nefertiti of Ancient Egypt, reflecting with prominence and elegance, even though there is no historical evidence of the practice of this piercing during the ancient Egyptian period.
