7.17 BODY PIERCING

Though many find piercing a distasteful and barbaric practice, many others find that piercings enhance one's personal beauty or even one's aura of menace.

In order to get pierced, you must find a Jeweller who has the piercing skill. The jeweller may then, assuming he has a piercing needle (which are jewellery items crafted under the 'trinkets' category):
PIERCE <person> <body part>

Note that piercings are irreversible, though if you are not wearing any jewellery in a piercing, there will be no way to tell that that body part is pierced, beyond use of the PIERCINGS command (see HELP PIERCINGS). Body parts that may be pierced are:

a) left/right eyebrow
b) left/right nostril
c) septum (the part of the nose between your nostrils)
d) upper/lower lip
e) tongue
f) labret (between the bottom lip and chin)
g) left/right ear (up to five piercings allowed in each ear)
h) left/right nipple
i) navel

Once you have a piercing, find a piece of jewellery intended for piercings, such as an earring, a stud, a bar, or a hoop, and WEAR <jewellery> <body part>.
