A foreskin piercing allows you to avoid piercing the glans of your penis altogether. Of course the basic requirement of this piercing is that you have foreskin. Even if you have had a partial circumcision, you should have enough skin left over for this penis piercing. Many men get this type of piercing for decorative purposes, unlike other male genital piercings done for sensation.

While it may be uncomfortable, your piercer will basically examine all parts of your foreskin in order to determine the best location for insertion of the piercing needle. You would not want the needle to pierce a vein in your foreskin. The location will be marked with a pen so that you can give your final approval.

The foreskin is usually pierced anywhere from 14 gauge to 10 gauge. If you start with a smaller gauge, you do have the option to stretch the hole. Unlike some other dick piercings, this one heals rather quickly. The healing process takes around two months.

Of course aftercare of your pierced forskin involves cleaning it twice a day and keeping it dry. Many piercers will suggest wearing boxers or freeballing during the healing process. Also, you will want to avoid sexual activity for at least a week and use extra caution after that.
