Of all styles, the tight ones remove the most [[skin]]. They already limit the mobility of the penile [[skin]] to a great extent when the [[penis]] is flaccid, and during an erection the [[skin]] is fully stretched and immobile. An insufficient amount of reserve [[skin]] can hamper a complete erection and lead to painful tension. Also, a skewed [[penis]] can occur due to an uneven distribution of the remaining [[skin]], often caused by an inaccurately placed cut or a uneven growth during wound healing. Due to the extensive shortening of the inner [[foreskin]], this style also means the loss of large amounts of sensitive tissue. | Of all styles, the tight ones remove the most [[skin]].

The [[shaft skin]] is sewed just below the rim of the [[Glans penis|glans]]. The scar is located close the [[Glans penis|glans]], hence the term "low". | ||
This style is the most radical, as it removes the entire sensitive tissue of the [[foreskin]]. As in the high & tight style, large amounts of [[skin]] are removed. In a flaccid state, the [[skin]] is barely movable, and in an erect state it is totally immobile. | This style is the most radical, as it removes the entire sensitive tissue of the [[foreskin]].
