Pierced Eyeglasses

This looks more painful than cool, i.e. if you're not into body piercing and any assortment of physical mutilation labeled body art.

This oughta make you an instant spectacle, so to speak.

I wonder if people realizes there is a risk for infection with any hardware which is implanted in the body. The infection may occur immediately after implantation or years down the road. Why would an individual implant unneeded hardware? This is not in the same category as having a needed hip or need replacement to maintain or improve mobility. As art it is interesting - then again I find the statue of "The Thinker" interesting but do not wish to have it accompany me throughout my day.
