drill into tile (not grout joint) using a spade bit made for tile.


You can get special bits for drilling tile -- they come in a variety
of sizes and have a spear-like point. Not too expensive and they
work well. Go slowly; oil the bit frequently with a light weight
oil; and carefully use a center punch to dimple the tile surface
before you start (keeps the bit from wandering and helps prevent
the tile from chipping).
