An apadravya pierced through the shaft of the penis.

Most apadravyas are pierced through the glans itself, but it is plausible to perform them through the shaft as well. Usually, the shaft apadravya piercing is done immediately behind the glans, but they have been pierced as far back as the base of the penis. It is largely urban legend that this piercing carries with it the risk of massive bleeding or nerve damage.
