Hafada piercing
Encyclopedia : H : HA : HAF : Hafada piercing
A hafada piercing is a surface piercing located anywhere on the skin of the scrotum. This piercing does not penetrate deep into the scrotum, and due to the looseness and flexibilty of the skin in that area, does not migrate or reject as much as many other surface piercings. A piercing that actually passes through the scrotum, from front-to-back, or from side-to-side, is known as a transscrotal piercing. Multiple hafada piercings are not uncommon as an extension of a frenum ladder.
Jewelry
Hafada piercings are usually pierced with a captive bead ring, a curved barbell or straight barbell.
History and Culture
According to body piercing lore, hafada piercings were part of a coming of age ritual in the Middle East, but no evidence is known to support this theory.
