It doesn't go through the clit. There are two way to have it pierced. The vertical or horiztonal way. The horizontal clit piercing is just on top the clit, this way it is just for looks and the vertical clit piercing is where the jewerly touches the clit which stimulate the clit. If it's pierced right it shouldn't lose any feeling.

I have my horizontal clit done, and I love it.
