The '''vertical hood piercing''', one of the most common [[Female Genital Piercing|female genital piercings]], passes vertically through the [[Clitoral hood|clitoral hood]], generally through a single central hole. Many people erroneously refer to it as a "clit ring," but the piercing does not in fact pass through the [[Clitoris|clitoris]] itself, it passes only through the hood.
'''A '''vertical lobe piercing''' a piercing, usually using a straight [[Barbell|barbell]], travelling from the top of the lobe (ie. the [[Anti-tragus|anti-tragus]]) down and exiting at the bottom of the lobe. It is essentially a [[Transverse_lobe|transverse lobe]] piercing turned 90°.


The ring or [[Barbell|barbell]] — usually a [[Curved barbell|curved barbell]] — is meant both to decorate as well as rub the clitoris. While most women enjoy this a great deal, some women find the constant stimulation a bit much to handle, while even others get used to the sensation. Naturally, this will vary from woman to woman.

Most piercers perform this piercing using a [[Receiving tube|receiving tube]] placed under the hood, into which the needle is pushed from the top of the hood itself. The piercing heals very quickly and tends to be trouble-free, assuming the woman's anatomy allows it. Some women with excessively tight hoods may not be able to get this piercing. As a general rule, if a q-tip fits under your hood, you can get this piercing ("The [[Q-tip Test|Q-tip Test]]").

A vertical lobe piercing a piercing, usually using a straight barbell, travelling from the top of the lobe (ie. the anti-tragus) down and exiting at the bottom of the lobe. It is essentially a transverse lobe piercing turned 90°.

Procedure

A vertical lobe is a moderately difficult piercing to have done. After entry and exit points have been marked, and the ear properly cleaned, the lobes and anti-tragus are clamped. The needle is then slid through, and jewelry inserted. Particular care must be taken to avoid piercing either too shallow or too deep into the lobe. If the needle goes through the lobe too close to the outer side, the jewelry can reject towards the outer side, while rejection can happen also if the the jewelry passes through the lobe too close to the head.
