Ceiling Beams/Studs

I am attempting to hang a bamboo-type swing from the ceiling inside my home..
I am having trouble finding a ceiling stud to drill the hook in the ceiling.
I have tried a stud finder to no avail (the rough surface won't allow for an accurate reading). Also, the 'ole hammer tapping technique isn't working either. I tapped a few times and noticed I was damaging the ceiling plaster.
Any suggestions on finding one?
