piercinated

Piercinated is a term used informally to describe something that has been pierced. It is not a formally recognized word in standard dictionaries but is often used in conversational contexts, particularly within communities involved in body modification. The term implies the act of having undergone a piercing procedure, such as ear piercing, nose piercing, or other forms of body piercing. It can refer to the state of having a piercing or, less commonly, the process itself. The origin of the term is a portmanteau of "piercing" and the suffix "-ated," which typically denotes something that has undergone a process or has been affected by something. While not an official term, it serves as a shorthand for describing the presence of a piercing.
