Are you people crazy?

Alright, you know how I feel about piercings, and people who turn themselves into absolute freaks. I don't much care for it. Tattoos are fine, great actually, but for me I don't really want to be turned into a pin cushion, nor do I want to be stuck by one.

Just my opinion - you're welcome to share your opinion with me, should you choose.

When I saw this, I knew it would be my topic of today. I actually saw the picture months ago and forgot about it. When I saw it again today, I couldn't let the opportunity pass me by once again.

This is apparently the new fad...although I don't know where. Europe maybe? They're cutting edge, they're always ahead of us in the fashion department aren't they? I haven't seen any of these around here in lil Ol' Portland Maine. Now, that's not to say that they're not here - I've seen some pretty 'cutting edge' folks on Congress Street. Remember that big picture window I get to sit behind everyday? ;) Lots of people walk by that window...

Anyway, on to the fad. It's called - yes, you guessed it... Eye Jewelry.

I call it N-A-S-T-Y! WTF is someone seriously going to do with this thing? Where could you wear it? Honestly, wouldn't you feel like you had something crawling on the side of your face? I would be swatting at it. What about when you look to the side? Does it catch on the lower lashes and make your eye twitch? Not only would you look like a freak with one of these, you would look like a freak with a twitch. Nice.

I just can't imagine how this is practical or suitable to any situation! Is it supposed to be attractive? Cause, uh...it isn't. No, really, it's not.

There's even a video for crying out loud!

And if that isn't bad enough, these folks took the eye jewelry even further.

Gross.

Oh yeah, and there's a video for this too...



The procedure costs $3,900 per eye...

Gee, it kind of makes me sad that I only have two eyes...NOT! This kind of stuff makes me sick.
Literally the second video did. I couldn't finish watching it.

I can't stand looking at it anymore while I am typing this.

Rock on with your bad self, and keep this crap outta your eyes!

If you remember about a month back, we had a discussion that covered the fact that , I didn’t want my daughter to pierce her face,(and still don’t). Thankfully now she has changed her mind and no longer thinks that is a good idea.

I can’t help being a mother, some days I think it was the reason I was put on the earth. I love my children and want to guide them to make good choices. Think about the long term results of a choice they make today. How is it going to affect them in the years to come? Isn’t that what parents are supposed to do, or have I been doing it wrong all this time?

I think you all know me well enough by now, to know that although I have a few tattoos and plan on adding to them in the near future, I don’t see the point in going completely all out crazy. Which, in essence, brings me to the topic for today’s blog.

This blog presents the question –

“What does this guys’ mother think of what he has done to himself?”

JUST MY OPINION – this is a mother’s worst nightmare!
What mother would ever want to see her beautiful baby boy make himself look like this?
(Did she perhaps drop him as an infant and damage that delicate spot on his little noggin?) And is that a Friggin star implant in the middle of his forehead? Yes… Yes it is.
Good God.

Now, I am sure there are some who would applaud this fellow for being unique, happy with his decisions and his apparent confidence in his appearance, however I cannot share in that applause. I think it is absolutely ridiculous.

I don’t even know what else to say about this. Looking at that eyeball tattoo makes me sick to my stomach. I had LASIK surgery about 5 years ago and I was TERRIFIED to have it done! And I was in the office of a surgeon who did this for a living… I can’t imagine going to have someone inject dye into my EYE that I use to SEE everything and everyone in my life, just cause it’d be cool. Just so I could have the only one around… That is your Friggin EYE man! When asked about his eyes, this is what he said…



QUESTION: You've got tattoos, you've got piercings. But the eyeball tattoo! What's up with that?
ANSWER: The eyeball tattoo is awesome. That's actually one of my favorite mods right now. A, because it's one of my newest and B, I have the only red eyeball tattoo in the world. The first and only.

Q: How do you know that? A: Because there's only one guy that does 'em.

Q: How long does it take? A: This was three injections. ... We're going for like a demon eye type of thing. There's going to be red and black in both eyes. We don't know how the colors are going to mix yet, like I said, still new.

Q: Are you worried about making a mistake? A: No, strangely I'm not. I mean, people are like, "You might go blind from that." I'm like, "I got two eyes."

Uh, what??? So what if you have two…You’re supposed to have two!!! Too bad this guy didn’t get two brains. Maybe he would use at least one of them.

Oh, and in case you’re wondering, his nickname is BIOHAZARD.

Perhaps this is the most frightening thing of all about this entire situation…. AT least it was for me -

Q: What are you going to do when your 2-year-old son is 16 and says, "Dad, I want to be just like you." A: Awesome, I'm so looking forward to that day.

OMG. Could someone just please shoot me now?

Rock on with your bad self.
I am going to rest my eyes. That’s right, I said EYES. Plural. Meaning more than ONE. Cause I am supposed to have two. I like my eyes and want to keep them…
