Ampallang piercing

|
Ampallang is a form of male genital body piercing. An ampallang runs perpendicularly through the glans from one side to the other, either through the urethra or above it.
A modified form is the shaft ampallang, the difference being, it occurs in the shaft, as opposed to the glans. Thus, a potential for the ampallang ladder is created. Another form is the apadravya piercing, or even the Magic Cross piercing.
The piercings origin may be found in Polynesian culture, specifically the Dayak people.
