How Do You Get an Eye Piercing?
Getting an "eye piercing" can refer to several different things, so let's clarify:
This involves the surgical implantation of jewelry beneath the surface of the sclera (the white part of the eye). This is a highly risky cosmetic procedure and is not recommended. It carries serious risks, including infection, blindness, and other serious complications. [Source: Healthline]
2. Facial Piercings Near the Eye
Several piercings are located near the eye, sometimes referred to informally as "eye piercings," but are actually located on the surrounding skin:
- Third Eye Piercing: This piercing, located on the forehead between the eyebrows, is created using a dermal punch to create a hole for a dermal anchor. [Source: Reddit]
- Snake Eyes Piercing (Fake): This is a fake piercing achieved with glue and small decorative balls. It does not involve puncturing the skin. [Source: TikTok]
These piercings, like any others, should only be performed by a licensed and experienced professional piercer using sterile equipment to minimize the risk of infection.
3. The "Piercing Gaze"
The term "piercing eyes" is also used figuratively to describe someone's intense or captivating gaze. This is not a physical piercing, but rather a quality of one's eyes often attributed to strong eye contact, intensity of expression, and even eye color. This is developed through practice and confidence, notably in making and maintaining eye contact. [Source: Reddit]
Remember, any body modification carries risks. Always research thoroughly and seek professional assistance from reputable sources. For surgical procedures like eyeball piercings, consult with a qualified ophthalmologist to understand the potential risks and alternatives.
