I am interested in getting an apadravya, but don’t want to get it through the glans, instead pushing it back a bit and coming out either right behind the head, or maybe a bit farther in. Is there a problem with doing this, and can it be done at most piercing shops? Also, what is the standard procedure for getting it done? Is any numbing involved, or is it just prepped then pierced? Thanks of any information you can give me.
It’s definitely possible to have an apadravya placed further back.
Can it be done at “most” piercing shops? I wouldn’t count on it being done well. There’s a fair bit of measuring and manipulation to take into consideration to place a piercing like that. You’ll want to seek out a piercer who has experience.
For the most part, no numbing is involved for apadravya piercings. Even a topical cream would not be enough to effectively numb all the way through.
They’re not known for being particularly comfortable piercings to have done. Find a piercer you trust, go in to your appointment with a clear head and a relaxed, well rested, well fed, healthy body

With my apadravya, I actually had really good luck with EMLA. I bought a little tube from the BME shop, lathered it on, threw some saran wrap around it, and waited an hour. Not to say it will work for you, but it certainly worked out for me.
I felt pressure, but I felt no pain.

The piercing you’re talking about - with the top hole behind the glans - is called a shaft apadravya, and although some have had success I would personally never risk it. The hazards have been debated pretty extensively, just do a search.

Anyone that numbs piercings ahead of time I don’t know just seems to defeat the fun of the pain.
I received my 12g Apa on 07-10-09 and as of 07-20-09 it no longer hurts nor do I receive hardly any discharge from the wound.
