Ampallang is a form of male body piercing that occurs on the penis. It usually runs perpendicularly through the glans from one side to the other. It can either go through the urethra or above it. Generally held to be the most painful of male piercing.
A modified form is 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.
