Why would anybody DO that to themselves?

Hell, it takes me about 5 tries to put in eyedrops...I can't even IMAGINE doing that to my eyes.

>.< Some shit just wasn't meant to be done to the body. *shivers*

Wow, that just made me scream "ewww" so much. It just looks wrong. And I just saw a bigger picture, how disgusting.

I have trouble putting in contacts, but something like that being permanent, I just hope this stays 7 people doing it, and NOT become a trend. If it does, it's a new reason to not look people in the face.

...My good Lord. I could never get that done. If my mother flinched when she got her ears pierced, and ripped the skin around her ears, I can only imagine what would happen if something wrong occured during this procedure....*twitch*
What would happen if you had allergies, and then rubbed your eye? ...Ouch...

I can tell that sort of thing would eventually cause eye problems. I doubt it's going to last very long.

ugh. horrible... just horrible...

why do people feel the need to pirce EVERY single part of their body? next thing you know people are going to be wearing earrings on the genitals.

I'd never do that... never.

I doubt it will last as well. Because eyes are more sensitive than anything else, and it may start with professionals, but maybe if it did become a trend some unqualified surgeons would do it and you then know what could happen o.O;;;

A little behind the times, eh?

I could never do that. My eyes are not touched. At all. I have allergies, and they affect my eyes the worst. I can't wear contacts because of them. If I get around too much pollen, they swell shut. I couldn't even imagine doing something like that to my eyes. It's just... ugh.

Piercings in general just look really bad. Well, pierced ears on girls looks nice, but guys that have pierced ears or pierced anything just look incredibly retarded.

Oh, sweet gods...I can't stand getting that air machine thing done at the eye doctor's (you know, that thing that blows the puff of air into your eyeball to test the pressure or whatever it's supposed to be for besides cruel and unusual torture?) If I ever tried doing something like that to myself, I would just have to have my eyes removed altogether.

And by the way, some guys look good with their ears pierced...

I think it tests for stigmatism. I'll also pass on the Eye Jewelry... *walks away slowly, then turns and runs*

Ewww.....I could not have that done. It takes me about (and I AM NOT exaggerating, I ask my mom how much time it takes) 1/2 hour to get contact lenses in. My eye, while it doesn't have any allergies, is extremely sensitive. I can't image having a piece of metal stuck in my eye just to look "cool" or whatever. *twitch* It's pretty obvious there will be problems. If something happens and that jewelry piece gets in front of the pupil...*shudders* I'm going to *twich* go now....and recover from that image...

Well, I don't necessarily agree with that...but I still think this is sickening.

I can't stand to put eye drops in, go to the eye doctor, or touch my eye. I could never used contacts..plus, I love my glasses too much.

Whatever floats your boat, I suppose. I don't think I could ever do it, though. It sounds like hell to go through.

Pain for... beauty... I guess...

I personally don't have any piercings, not even ears, but most of my friends have piercings in various places--eyebrows, lips, upper ear, hood, and bellybutton. I don't have any problem with it.

Actually, yoshmaster5, earrings aren't worn on the genitals. Rings and bars specifically made for the genitalia are.

Piercings in general just look really bad. Well, pierced ears on girls looks nice, but guys that have pierced ears or pierced anything just look incredibly retarded.

If a piercing looks really bad, it looks bad for one of five reasons:

1.) it's somewhere that really shouldn't be pierced, like the eye. Those kids are just asking for infection.
2.) it's infected
3.) the placement is bad due to an error on the piercer's part
4.) that body part is rejecting the piercing (yes, that can happen)
5.) the piercing has the wrong type of jewelry in it

I may not care for someone's choice of where to get pierced, but that doesn't mean the piercing doesn't look good. The above reasons are the only reasons a piercing would look really bad on anyone. Anything else is just personal preference, which has nothing to do with how the piercing looks.

I have a navel ring, which I love. I think it looks good, and if I had it to do all over again, I'd still go through with it. I've also got pierced ears, which I would love to do over again - they were pierced with a gun when I was little, and that's not a good way to be pierced. The gun can't be sterilized completely like a needle can, and the needle makes for a cleaner piercing that hurts less than a gun.

I'd never have my eye pierced, though. It doesn't look good.

Oh my...no. Just...no. There is no way anyone could make me do that. There's no way anyone could even try to pressure me into doing that. Just being with someone getting their ears pierced make me feel like jelly.

Oh yeah.. I can't put eye drops in or touch my eye either ^^; I feel like my eye pill pop out if I ever try to touch it...

Ni-ban Neko: Great, excellent points. I agree completely.

Chibi Son Gokou · Post by **Chibi Son Gokou** » Thu Apr 08, 2004 11:58 pm

I agree too, but I just think piercings, like when guys wear one earring or two maybe, just looks really stupid. That's just my opinion though.
