Eyeball Jewelry

How disgusting!!

See the picture! Seems like it is becoming a fad but not in USA yet. US is trying to ban this. Will you guys ever do this??!!!

How it works: The jewelry implant involves making a tiny slice in the membrane covering the eyeball. A small, flat metal charm, such as a shiny heart or a half-moon, that is thinner than a piece of aluminum foil is slipped into the slot on the white of the eye.

Ohh you want one for yourself?

Dunno but you will have to go to Europe if you want this. At this moment, USA doesnt want it to be legalized here.

I cant believe how insane some folks can be to even come up with this wild idea!!!!

As I already stated, I would NOT do this. But, is banning the procedure the answer? I don't think so. It should be regulated, but not banned. If a person wants to do that to themselves, they will. Doesn't matter if the procedure is banned or not. I'd rather see the procedure regulated, so it's at least safe.

I can't understand why someone would want to do that to themselves.

I agree with you, Meg. It's creepy.
