DEFINITION

Classification: 119/759

Having body piercing attachment as sole support from animal (e.g., nose ring, pin, etc.):

(1) Note. To be proper for this subclass, the skin piercing element must be for purposes of supporting the extension on or from the animal, as opposed to an ancillary purpose such as a punishment or pain inflicting means provided for elsewhere.
