The next big thing: JewelEye

We always figured that now that tattoos and piercings are really mainstream that the next big thing in body modifications would be some sort of weird amputation craze or something in that vein that would really shock people. Well, we were wrong. It's eyeball jewelry. An opthamalic research center in the Netherlands (where else?) have been implanting small half-moons and hearts (and all the other lucky charms) into the mucous membranes of the eyes of people there. They say it takes about fifteen minutes and there are no known side effects. You mean besides broadcasting to the whole world that you are stupid enough to risk blindness to have a freaking half-moon implanted in your eyeball? And wouldn't fell like you had something in your eye for the rest of your life?
