Piercing has become a widespread fashion trend in Western industrialized nations within recent years. The invasive application of ornaments through cutaneous and mucosal surfaces enables the penetration of various pathogens into subcutaneous tissue. The authors describe the hazards of piercing and facial body art as they apply to 3 patients. Perichondrial auricular abscess, granulomatous perichondritis of the nasal ala, and embedding of a stud in the lower lip were the respective diagnoses. Literature was reviewed for the cultural origins and current practices of piercing, the legal background of piercing as a business, typical medical complications, and treatment recommendations. Numerous communications have been published on medical complications of piercing. The patients presented and the review of the literature illustrate that piercing is not a harmless fashion and that regulations of piercing as a business seem desirable to prevent further complications.
近年来，穿孔在西方工业化国家已成为一种广泛的时尚潮流。通过皮肤和粘膜表面侵入性地佩戴饰品会使各种病原体穿透进入皮下组织。作者描述了穿孔和面部人体艺术对3例患者造成的危害。分别诊断为耳廓软骨膜脓肿、鼻翼肉芽肿性软骨膜炎和下唇耳钉嵌入。对穿孔的文化起源和当前做法、穿孔作为一种商业行为的法律背景、典型的医学并发症以及治疗建议进行了文献综述。关于穿孔的医学并发症已经发表了大量的交流文章。所呈现的患者以及文献综述表明，穿孔并非无害的时尚行为，对穿孔作为一种商业行为进行规范似乎是预防进一步并发症的必要举措。
