In Season 2 Episode 51, DaVo covers the Pros & Cons of having a male genital piercing called a Pubic Piercing. In addition, he covers what you should know before, the piercing experience, healing the piercing, Jewelry, and abandoning the piercing.

I aka DaVo have been a professional body piercer and the owner of the Axiom Body Piercing Studio in Des Moines, Iowa since 1994. My focus on education and helping clients make safe and informed decisions on getting pierced has always been a large part of my business practices and services. With my website and increasingly on youtube, I hope to expand and inform others outside of my small part of the world. I always encourage questions and comments, so if you have one, please comment.

• You are going to need to disrobe and wear clothing that is easy to remove

• Do they provide aftercare products and written and verbal aftercare instructions?

The Piercing Experience:

• The piercing is quick, pain will be sharp at first and then quickly fade.

• A guide pin may be used to insert the jewelry

• The jewelry may require a little time to insert and close

• like other piercings, you may have the throbbing and aching but the Piercing is sensitive to the touch.

Healing:

• The average healing time is 10-12 weeks or longer

• Clean twice daily with saline

• Must practice cross-contamination prevention and isolate and avoid any contact with the piercing.

  • Clean hands

  • no oral contact or exchanging of bodily fluids for 6 months. Latex barriers should be used regardless of relationship type

• Commonly the jewelry is 12g or thicker, 3/8 - 9/16,
