Pierced Glasses

If I were to ever get a piercing I would definitely consider getting this done. A piercing that actually has a function. Apparently, each lens is attached to a piercing in the bridge on the nose by magnets and I hope those magnets are strong enough, so you don't accidentally knock them off all the time.

I can see this being popular among people who are constantly losing their glasses, and I would be one of those because I'd forget my head if it wasn't attached. But I don't think I could go through wih this procedure. This made me cringe.

I assume the bottom pic is the piercing the wearer would always have in. I expect those who administer this piercing will soon be facing lawsuits by millions of users who go cross-eyed due to the position of the piercing, just like Navin Johnson faced in "The Jerk."

OH-- And who says a tongue ring doesn't have a function?

OK, I'll give you that one and maybe a couple others, but on the whole piercings aren't functional.

I can't even begin to imagine this or any piercing for that matter. I mean pierced ears are ok but there are too many people taking piercing to ridiculous extremes.And tattoos for me are also inane.
