unpunctured

No holes yet

Unpunctured means not pierced or penetrated—remaining intact without holes.

A tire that survives a nail-strewn road emerges unpunctured.

The word applies literally to physical objects an unpunctured balloon and figuratively to things like pride or confidence that might be deflated: His ego remained unpunctured despite the criticism.
