I’m sure many of you have seen this image floating around online at some point.

It seems a rather neat idea, though I’d be worried about any sort of accident, or even potential fight, ripping that piercing right out.

But, what if the lenses attached with magnets instead?..

    I just can’t see it having enough structural integrity unless you graft the piercings onto your nasal bone.

      Make the magnetic surfaces flat, so they prefer to rest at an exact angle. Neodymium magnets are pretty strong ya know.

        But the skin is not rigid, and piercings are ultimately just attached to your skin are they not?

          Typical glasses aren’t exactly rigid either, and I wouldn’t even want them to be super rigid anyways. Hey, at least the piercing mount wouldn’t be able to slide down your nose.

          And if something happens, like you bump into something, or get punched or whatever, at least the lens(es) should easily pop off, rather than ripping the piercing out.
