Answer 1: The idea of a well-placed hood ring (do you mean vertical or horizontal, by the way? I'm talking about horizontal) is that it the ball of the ring will rest on the clitoris, which could theoretically make sexual activity more pleasurable for the female. Vertical clitoral hood piercings are given barbell piercings, and the same principal applies, although I can't imagine the bottom ball of the barbell stays right on the clitoris as well as the ball of a captive bead ring would in a horizontal clitoral hood piercing.
Of course there are other, non-sexual benefits, and for many people it's not about the sexual benefits at all (in fact, it's pretty rude when non-pierced people think that genital piercings are purely for weird kinky sexual reasons). It simply might make a woman feel good about yourself, make her feel like her genitals are "prettier" now, etc. Piercings do not generally have functions; they're just for aesthetic appeal.
A hood piercing is where you pierce the skin which is above (& slightly covering) the clitoris. There are vertical as well as horizontal options.It's a female genital piercing through the clitoral hood surrounding the clitoris. There are two main types of hood piercing, the vertical clitoral hood piercing and the horizontal clitoral hood piercing. As the name indicates, the difference is in the direction the piercing is oriented in the skin above the clitoris. Neither of these piercings penetrates the clitoris itself.
In your clitoral hood :]
Apart from looks there are no benefits.
its a female genital piercing that passes underneath the clitoral shaft as opposed to just through the hood.
They look good.
Yes

6 ~ 8 weeks but care must be used until the piercing actually seasons 3 ~ 6 months.
No, Its Not Safer To Bring Your Own Tools, Its Safer To Find A Piercer You Trust And To Ask To See Them Set Up For Your Piercing, And For YOU To See How They Sterilize Everything.
None....... It's a straight line piercing the curved barbell will actually irritate the piercing.
Generally a professional body piercer will discuss this with you before the piercing is done and assist you in selecting the right gauge and long enough to achieve the desired effect from the piercing. Most hoods are done with 14g barbells about 1/2" long or longer depending on the developement of the hood.
i think you can be any age if you bring a parent with you.
