The Transscrotal- A piercing that takes some balls.


Exotic Piercing WARNING.

The transscrotal piercing can also be referred to as transcrotal (with one l) or scrunnel (SCRotal tUNNEL). This piercing passes through the inner body of the scrotum which is straight through- into the front and out of the back.

From the little research I have done, this is a somewhat dangerous piercing (as most piercings are), because of the risk of infection. It literally fully penetrates your body's number one defense, your skin. If infection does occur, the situation can QUICKLY become very dangerous (most definitely in the area that it is located- ow!). Due to this, the transscrotal piercing is treated as a surgical procedure where a 'flesh tube' (see fistula*) is used.

A transscrotal piercings done with the normal needle and jewelry takes a longer time to heal, IF it heals at all. Also, this way makes the stretching of the scrotum harder to achieve.

The fistula procedure is where the scrotum is clamped then an incision is made with a scalpel (or sometimes a dermal punch), and then the front skin (where the incision was originally made) is sewn to the skin of the back. Proper sewing is needed for effect and safe healing, of course. And, when being sewn, it has to be skin to skin. There are three layers- skin, membrane and muscle. Sewing any of the the other two CAN cause the piercing to not heal properly or difficult. Once the piercing is fully healed, the piercing bearer can start stretching pretty quickly.

LIKE MOST PIERCINGS, please make sure you've done your research and found a professional and trust worthy piercer.

Transscrotal piercings, if done right, can heal as fast as a few weeks.

Placement has been the main complaint. Make sure you know where you'd want to get it, talk to the piercer about placement, and understand the piercing itself.

Other than that, enjoy the piercing. I've heard the piercing can cause some sexual pleasure to males but I can't say for a fact if that's true or not. I've never come across a male with a transscrotal piercing and can't seem to find much information on the “BENEFITS”. And, sadly, I don't have the right 'stuff' to try out this piercing myself. Maybe some day I'll find a male who is willing to share what life has been like with the piercing. Maybe not.

Pierce on, my friends.
