'''Piercing''' (''to pierce'' [pɪəs], via Old French ''percier'' and Vulgar Latin *''pertusiare'' from Latin ''pertundere'', '' pertusus'' "pierce, break through") is a form of [[body modification]] in which jewelry in the form of rings or rods is attached to various parts of the human body through the [[skin]] and underlying fatty or cartilage tissue becomes. Although the practice itself is old, the term ''piercing'' was not established until the mid-1990s.

'''Body piercing''', a form of body modification, is the practice of puncturing or cutting a part of the human body, creating an opening in which jewelry may be worn. The word piercing can refer to the act or practice of body piercing, or to an opening in the body created by this act or practice. Although the history of body piercing is obscured by popular misinformation and by a lack of scholarly reference, ample evidence exists to document that it has been practiced in various forms by both sexes since ancient times throughout the world.

In the genital area, numerous piercing variants are possible for men and women; most differ due to differences in anatomy between the sexes. However, some piercings are possible for both men and women: the guiche piercing and the relatively rare anus piercing. In a broader sense, the nipple piercing can also be counted among the genital piercings.
