How do trolls pierce their horns?

I'd imagine you would use something like a drill! You could also use something akin to a bolt punch? That's also probably the equivalent of the "I'm going to heat up a needle and pierce my ear with an ice cube" method of ear-piercing lol. And would also be much more likely to cause cracking or splitting especially on thinner horns! Especially if you're piercing out near the tip of the horn, which I'd imagine most people do, because the tissue out there is much less sensitive--but unfortunately it's also harder and more brittle.

#ask time!#the makaras have good horns for piercing the way I draw them because they have those spiralling ridges #easy to pop a hole through in one quick shot especially if it's small #I draw Tavros with big longhorn bull horns which don't really have ridges at all and you'd have to put a bolt right through the middle #so I mean..... he COULD get horn piercings but it would probably suck hardcore and go right through the core tissue #also like....on horns that big and heavy weakening the structural integrity near the base could be risky 😬
