I can’t imagine this is going to be a trend or anything, but I’ve seen a few more eyelid piercings lately, in addition to the one from Bulgaria posted a few days ago, this reader in North Carolina describes this as their favorite piercing.
In Tennessee I think they’re a little more cautious, at least in this horizontal placement — basically just a surface piercing on the eyelid — by Darby at Great American Tattoo Company in Kingsport.

MATT: “Its funny that someone mentioned you are never even supposed to touch your bare eyeball. When I got contacts a long time ago, the doctor told me to practice for a week just touching the corner of my eye, in approximately the same place these piercings are.”
i’m just curious as to when you got contacts. i just started wearing them a few years ago and my doctor said there was absolutely no reason to touch your eyeball when wearing contacts – they should be removed only by touching the actual lens and moving them should only be done through a closed eyelid. i’m not saying i actually follow all of these (i directly touch the lens to reposition it), but i didn’t know if doctors had changed their tune over time or if it just varies from doctor to doctor.
that being said, i imagine the irritation would drive me nuts, although her eyes are very beautiful (i’m assuming it’s a girl based on the eyebrow – sorry if i’m wrong!). i would really like to see the second piercing with the eye open – i feel like that’s how the piercing is meant to be seen, anyway.

nope: honestly back when I was roughly around 16-17 I went to try see if I was able to wear contacts at an eye doctors adjacent to a Lens Crafters store.
I will say that the “doctor” did inform me for me to get used to the feeling that I should wash my hands and try touching the corner of my eye, to get used to the feeling of placing something on my eye.
However when this “doctor” put one of the contacts in and it felt very uncomfortable and like it was folding onto itself,etc and I asked him to remove it…The contact was in my right eye, and he attempted to remove the contact from my left eye and was very confused as to why he couldn’t see/find it.
Needless to say I made the decision just to wear glasses until laser eye correction had a 100% success rate, or until I was capable of doing with the bullshit that I was told to do involving contacts.

As many have pointed out, the first eye has gorgeous coloring.
I have to ask though, to all the people that are grumbling about health risks, where are your comments on all the other various posts on modblog? I mean, nothing you do to your body, modification wise, is “healthy” in the sense that it’s all injuries that have to be healed. This is just another of those, in another place. As I highly doubt someone getting this piercing or doing this piercing would do it ‘spur of the moment’, I’m sure they’re aware of the risks.
That said, it’d be really hard for me to deal with the slight itch of healing piercings right at my eye. ;-;

As someone who suffers with short sightedness and astigmatism… I wouldn’t let any extra shit get near my eyes. Seriously. I suffer enough with them and the only thing I’m happy to put in them is my contact lenses. Pretty these peircings may be but I really don’t think they’re sensible.

No friggin’ way. Piercings, in general, are not for me, but this is the worst possible example. I had to have stitches in my right eyelid in 2005…and, in the process, experienced the worst pain I’ve ever felt. Unless I suffer a similar injury, no needle is coming anywere near my eyes!
