Ampallang Piercing
An Ampallang, similar to an Apadravya, is a piercing that goes through the head of the penis. In the case of an Ampallang, the piercing is done horizontally through the glans.
Depending on the client's anatomy, this piercing may be done further back on the glans, closer to the corona, in the middle of the glans, or closer to the tip of the penis.
An Ampallang can be pierced through the urethra (transurethral) or above the urethra. Piercings done through the urethra typically heal faster as there are two shorter piercing channels to heal, rather than a single longer one.
Ampallang piercings are considered functional piercings for both the wearer and the partner. A bar worn horizontally through the head of the penis can increase sensation and pleasure for both partners. Depending on the angle of penetration, it may be capable of stimulating a woman’s G-spot (a sexually sensitive spot on the front wall of the vagina).
An "iron cross" or "magic cross" is made when a person has both an Ampallang and an Apadravya. (Horizontal and vertical piercings through the glans).

Although healing times vary for all individuals, these are average time frames that most clients fall into. If you are still noticing swelling around your piercing after 8 weeks, we recommend coming in for a piercing consultation so our piercer can take a look at the piercing and assess the situation.
Some piercings require multiple downsizes in order to heal correctly and fit comfortably.
If you prefer the look of a thicker piercing, or have had trouble healing piercings in the past and want a more stable piercing, our piercers may be able to pierce you with a larger gauge than listed above, however; for safety and healing we will not pierce with anything smaller.
