Eyeball Piercings?

“Folks in the Netherlands have started piercing their eyeballs…and here’s a photo.”

I think we may have reached the “this has gone too far” point with body piercings with this one. Here is some feedback from folks in this soon-to-be hotly contested concept.

I know the eye doesn’t have many nerve endings for pain sensation, but why risk damaging your vision for a piercing that few people may ever notice? I wonder if you can feel it against your lower eyelid everytime you blink, similar to a mis-aligned contact… I would be curious to hear more about this if anyone has tried it.

    Eeeeewww….

    I’d immagine your eye gets used to it, kinda like how if you have hard contacts (like me), you REALLY feel them for a few weeks, then you just kinda… get used to it and don’t notice it.

    Though, judging from how many poping blood vessels she has, I’d guess she’s got a lot of tears.

    Ew, ew, ew.
