Are you ready to learn about the reverse prince albert piercing? Let me first tell you that the reverse prince albert is, of course, the opposite of the prince albert. It is also actually half of an apadravya piercing too. The reverse PA goes in through the urethra and out the top of the glans, instead of out through frenulum like a regular prince albert piercing.

Though many talk about it, the reverse PA is not nearly as common as the standard PA. So does this male genital piercing hurt more or less than a prince albert? Actually it is truly said to be more painful because of the meat the needle passes through. The glans is much more sensitive than the frenulum. Want to see what a reverse PA looks like? Check out some pictures at the links below.

The reverse prince albert is pierced at anywhere from 12 gauge to 8 gauge. Like many other piercings it can easily be stretched with time and patience. Choose from captive bead rings and curved barbells to wear in the reverse PA.

So how long does it take this piercing to heal? Normal healing time is around 4 to 6 months, quite a bit longer than the prince albert because of the glans tissue this piercing passes through. Aftercare of the reverse prince albert piercing is pretty simple. Make sure to clean it twice daily and some people even soak it in saline or sea salt water. Abstain from sexual activity at least the first week or two and always wear a condom. Wear loose clothing to help keep the penis cool and dry.
