piercers
Sharp hole makers
Piercers are people who pierce body parts professionally—creating holes in ears, noses, navels, or other areas for jewelry.
The term also applies to tools or creatures that pierce: The mosquito's proboscis is nature's piercer.
In tattoo and body modification shops, piercers often work alongside tattoo artists.
