Body piercing in Latin

Question

I have a friend who is heavily into body modification (don't ask) and classical philology (teaches college-level Latin) who recently got an, uh, dressing ring. (All beating around the bush aside, I've been told by those in the know that "Prince Albert" is a popular male genital piercing. Google it if you must. Most definitely NSFW.)

Now we, a bunch of friends, want to present him with a t-shirt as a gag gift for his upcoming birthday. How would I refer to this, or really any body piercing in Latin? A pierced belly button, e.g.? "Umbilicus perforatus" sounds like a medical condition. Punctus? Anulatus? Would, say, "Mentula mea anulata" on a t-shirt be understood?

If all else fails, we'll simply go with the more subtle "ILLE QUI DOLET VINCIT" (He who suffers wins) :-)

Answer 1

I haven't been able to find many references to piercings in Latin, but here's one bit, from Plautus's Poenulus 979 onward:

A: Qui scis?
Agorastacles: How do you know?

M: Viden homines sarcinatos consequi?
Milphio: Don't you see that people with backpacks are following us?

M: Atque ut opinor in manibus digitos non habent.
Milphio: And honestly, I think they don't have fingers on their hands.

A: Quid jam?
Agorastacles: Wait, why?

M: Quia incedunt cum anulatis auribus.
Milphio: Because they're coming this way with rings in their ears.

So I would say anulātus, -a, -um is the way to go—while the word just means "ringed", it's pretty clear that aurēs anulātae involve ear piercings. There's a bit of ambiguity in whether a mentula anulāta is actually pierced or just has one or more rings placed around it, but I don't think that'll be much of an issue in context.

If you do want to be more specific—either to make it clear that the ring is through rather than around, or to distinguish a Prince Albert from a Jacob's Ladder or whatever—you could instead call it a glans anulāta. That makes it explicit exactly where the ring is.
