What is a "piercing"?

A piercing is a type of jewelry that is worn on various parts of the body that have been punctured with a needle to create a hole for the jewelry to be inserted. Piercings can be made on the ears, nose, eyebrows, lips, tongue, nipples, and even on the belly button or genitals. Different types of jewelry can be used for different piercings, such as studs, hoops, barbells, or captive bead rings.
