The Prince Albert piercing (often simply called PA) belongs to the family of male intimate piercings and is probably the most well-known representative of this piercing group. It is placed through the urethra, directly behind the glans (below).
This piercing owes its name to Prince Albert of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha (husband of Queen Victoria of England). Legend has it that he used a Prince Albert piercing and a cord sewn into his robe to put his royal best piece in a comfortable position so that it would not interfere with him in battle.
Please note that intimate piercings at 2nd Skin are exclusively for the same sex. An intimate piercing is always associated with an appointment and is not performed spontaneously.

| Please note | The Prince Albert piercing can have a pleasure-enhancing effect on both the wearer and their partner. The Prince Albert piercing is particularly suitable for stretching and can therefore also be fitted with jewelry with a slightly larger diameter. The Prince Albert piercing is considered one of the least problematic intimate piercings for men. It is relatively easy to care for and heals faster than other piercings, as the stitch channel regularly comes into contact with the patient's own urine. In rare cases, post-operative bleeding may occur, as the corpus cavernosum is heavily supplied with blood. However, this subsides quickly. The Prince Albert piercing must always be done by a very experienced piercing artist. During the healing phase, the foreskin (if present) should be retracted as much as possible. As with any intimate piercing, we recommend abstaining from sexual intercourse for 2 weeks. If this should nevertheless occur, only practice protected intercourse and stop immediately if you experience any pain. The length of the canal is always measured by the customer in advance at home. The limb must be in an erect state for this. |
