Tama Deco Pierce (たまデコピアス Tama Deko Piasu) is a special item for use with the Tamagotchi P's. It was first released along side the Tamagotchi P's on November 23, 2012 with the Pierce on its own and bundled with the Tamagotchi P's Love & Melo ver.
Function[]
The Tama Deco Pierce is a small decoration with a plug that fits into the hole on top of the Tamagotchi P's. Once plugged in, it adds many special features such as characters, meals, snacks, toys, accessories, locations, living rooms, icon backgrounds, and games. Eating the food, using the items, and playing the game from the pierce three times will lead to obtaining characters from the pierce. For change pierces, the user can simply take their adult Tamagotchi to the new themed house location to change them into a costume if one is available for that character.
Only one pierce can be plugged and active at a time. If a pierce is unplugged, the content will stay on the P's for 12 hours before unlinking and reverting to base content. If a pierce exclusive character is being raised, they can kept until they are married off or die. However, another pierce can't be connected until then.
Two types are pierces are available. Character pierces introduce new adult characters while Change pierces allow the user to change specific base characters into a costume. Pierces generally came packaged with two to four sheets of notes that explained the pierces' content and how to obtain the characters that they contained. The notes could be inserted into the Tamagotchi P's secret pocket book that was sold separately.

Trivia[]
- The function of the Tama Deco Pierce would later be reused for the TamaSma Card, a memory card that could be inserted into the Tamagotchi Smart for extra content.
- The Tama Portal for the Tamagotchi Uni is also similar in function to the pierces and smart cards, differing in that it is a digital download rather than a physical card or chip.
