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.

That first eye… Wow… Amazing.
I don’t know how I feel about this piercing. I just spent a lot of money to get LASIK, and anything affecting my eyes is a scary prospect. But I guess if you are comfortable with the risks, good for you.
I will say that its really unique.

the first one is phenomenal. I thought the yellow ring was a symptom of a heavy metal poisoning…
regardless, I’m wondering if some of these people prepare for this piercing like, trying to pull the eyelid out without the eye freaking out, a ‘desensitizing’ of sorts.
Plus when it heals, a very small gauge plug would probably be a lot more comfortable.
It’s unique, and a lot less risky than the people piercing their eyeballs.
I’d still never do it

stephanie, if fully healed they can easily stay open. i havent worn jewelry in my septum in months and i can still get a 16 ga in. you should never depend on the hole closing completely. not a chance id be willing to take with my eye.

I just can’t stop staring at the first one’s eye. Beautiful. So are the piercings. I wouldn’t mind having one. If I just dared.

Kids in Kingport, TN, are crazy. I live about 20 mins. away from there. Darby is quite good at what he does and he has very nice prices. He did my septum and it was a good experience.

it LOOKS very cool…its also completely INSANE to risk your eyesight in this manner…but whatever…I’m sure it was ‘well researched’ and the client was informed of all the risks…
here’s what i know about the eye…this next couple of quotes you can thank google’s endless supply of web doctors for…most of this info is from an eye injuries website wrote by doctor’s to help people save their eye sight when things obstruct it…”Injuries to the eye are the most common preventable cause of blindness” …”Do not touch, press, or rub the eye itself”…”Do not try to remove any foreign body except by flushing, because of the risk of scratching the surface of the eye, especially the cornea”…”a particle can scratch the cornea and cause an infection”…this last one i’m printing, mainly cuz i saw a modblog piece with a TATTOOED EYEBALL in it “Many chemicals, even those found around the house, can damage an eye.”
just cuz you CAN pull something like this off, does it mean you should??? there are certain areas of the body you should just leave alone to function as they were intended to…if getting modified will jeapordize your eye sight, mobility, or even worse-YOUR LIFE…maybe you should leave it alone…this isn’t about mod censorship, before i receive the backlash of ‘freedom replies’, this is about common sense…i saw a piece where someone actually injected tattoo ink into an eyeball…tattoo ink isn’t FDA regulated and sometimes the questionable contents can cause a reaction in skin…especially red…a person who has had no previous reaction can suddenly, and without warning, develope an allergy…fortunetly in skin, this isn’t really dangerous and is a totally fixable situation-but in the EYE, A VERY SENSITIVE MEMBRANE, it could cause blindness…
all i’m saying is certain things that will leave you with a POTENTIAL HANDI-CAP should perhaps be left alone…

Laura – Do you apply the same logic to the rest of your life? If so, we should ban extreme sports, driving cars, and lots of other risky things.

Hmmm. I wonder how long it will be before people start to stretch their eyelid piercings. Think about how cool vision-obstructing 1″ plugs in your eyelids would be! Kind of like the body mod equivalent of an emo fringe.

According to a Harvard University study, cell phones cause over 200 deaths and half a million injuries each year. Now that of course doesnt touch non specified causes of automobile deaths which are the NUMBER ONE cause of death for people ages 6 to 27. You think people are foolish for having eye modifications? I would suggest that if as many people who use automobiles (of which I am one) were to modify their eyes in some way,and not use cars, the numbers of injury and death would be drastically smaller. While body modification can be seen as more of a choice than driving, driving too is a choice. I have a friend who has never driven in her life. She walks to work, rides her bike to the grocery and has for over 30 years. Hell, just today on GMA it was announced that on average 36 children every year die due to being forgotten about by their parents and left in their vehicle. Maybe “Mom” should have focused less on impressing the Jones’, focused more on raising her children. She could have stayed at home, a smaller home, made do with less materialistic goods and services and pierced her eyes to her heart’s content. She and her kids would probably be fine. But who am I to say?
