An instrument used to pierce the lobe of the ear auricle (i.e., ear lobe) to create a hole in its tissue. It is typically designed as a device with a mechanism that forces a sharpened point (usually a starter earring) through the ear lobe by applying pressure to the handgrip. Although this device is primarily designed to piece the ear lobe, it can be used to pierce the ear cartilage and/or other parts of the body for, e.g., body piercing ornamentation purposes. This is a reusable device.
