About
To pierce the skin of the scrotum, inserting a stainless steel jewelry is classed as being a surface piercing. It is less intrusive into the body, and the scrotum, being considerably looser, has less risk of rejection of this type of piercing.
Practice (Associated Acts): Multiple Hafada Piercing can exist on their own, as an extension of another type of Genital Piercing, known as a Frenum Ladder Piercing
Noteworthy: The type of jewelry associated with this piercing is varied. It can be a simple 'barbell type', a 'curved barbell type', or what is referred to as a 'Captive Bead Ring'
