holy mother of crap!


"Body piercing and tattoos make way.
The latest fashion trend to hit the Netherlands is eyeball jewelry.
Dutch eye surgeons have implanted tiny pieces of jewelry called 'JewelEye'
in the mucous membrane of the eyes of six women and one man
in cosmetic surgery pioneered by an ophthalmic surgery research
and development institute in Rotterdam.
The procedure involves inserting a 0.13 inch wide
piece of specially developed jewelry
-- the range includes a glittering half-moon or heart --
into the eye’s mucous membrane under local anaesthetic
at a cost of $610 to $1,232.
'In my view it is a little more subtle than (body) piercing.
It is a bit of a fun thing and a very personal thing for people,' said Gerrit Melles,
director of the Netherlands Institute for Innovative Ocular Surgery."
