Hafada piercing

A hafada piercing is a surface piercing anywhere on the skin of the scrotum.[1] This piercing does not penetrate deep into the scrotum, and due to the looseness and flexibility of the skin in that area, does not migrate or reject as much as many other surface piercings. A piercing that 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. Since the skin of the scrotum is thin, titanium jewelry is advantageous due to its lower weight.

Healing

The healing is relatively uncomplicated and lasts normally between six and eight weeks.
