History and Culture
The Christina piercing, like most surface piercings, is of contemporary origin. The first known Christina piercing was performed by Tom Brazda of Stainless Studios in the 1990s. As is common practice in the piercing industry, it was named after the first recipient of the piercing, a woman named Christina. It is also occasionally referred to by the less commonly used term Venus, in reference to its placement.
