A Hafada piercing is a male genital piercing done on the scrotum. It can be done anywhere on the surface of the scrotum, but it’s important to note that the piercing itself includes only skin and not the tissue itself. In short, a Hafada piercing is a surface piercing. It should never penetrate deep into the scrotum.
Those who wish to have piercings deep into scrotum should opt for transscrotal procedures. These are completely different piercing types and they typically include the scrotum tissue. Hafada piercing, on the other hand, involves only the scrotum skin.
Hafada Piercing
Hafada is done relatively easily since it includes only skin on the surface of the scrotum. The only thing the piercer and the client should agree about is the placement. Hafada can be placed almost anywhere on the scrotum.
Since the skin on the scrotum is loose and flexible, Hafada piercings are prone to migration, rejection and other problems associated with surface piercings.
Also, many men choose to get multiple Hafada piercings so they can wear multiple jewelry pieces on their scrotum. These multiple Hafadas are sometimes made as an extension of a frenum ladder piercing. Multiple Hafada piercings can make a very effective scrotal ladder.
Typical jewelry for a Hafada piercing is a Captive Bead Ring, a Curved Barbell or a Straight Barbell. When choosing your jewelry, it’s important to pick jewelry type that is the most comfortable and aesthetically pleasing for you.
Additional Information
- Hafada piercing is relatively painless because the skin is very elastic. The procedure is fast and doesn’t bring much discomfort.
- Keep in mind that a Hafada piercing can easily be irritated, due to the placement. Lack of ventilation can make the piercing difficult to heal.
- When choosing a placement for a Hafada piercing, it’s important not to hurt the tissue under the skin in any way. It can be dangerous and lead to numerous problems.
- The minimum gauge to be pierced with is 12. Smaller gauges are not recommended, and larger gauges are common with Hafada piercing.
- Hafada piercings can be done both horizontally and vertically on the scrotum.

Last week Tuesday I had my first hafada piercing done. It was not so painfull. A short sharp feeling in my scrotum and than another one as the needle went out. I was very satisfied with the result. Yesterday two other hafada piercings followed. It took about 15 minutes. So now I have a hafada ladder and I am proud of it. After 8 weeks I intend to have my piercing stretched. Awesome!!! I am looking forward to it.
I had multiple hafada piercings using 6 and 8 gauge CBR’s. I can’t attest to the painlessness that others mention, but I had no swelling and no intense bleeding. I am very happy with the result and the relatively quick healing time. Placement is important.
