Eyeball Jewelry? Illinois Lawmakers Can't See It

The procedure involves making a tiny slice in the membrane covering the eye and slipping in a small, flat piece of metal. The result is a shiny shape in the white of the eye.

Some Illinois lawmakers want to make sure the twinkle in your eye doesn't come from jewelry. Repulsed by a body modification offered at a Dutch institute -- where tiny metal hearts and half-moons are surgically embedded in the whites of the eye -- one lawmaker has proposed banning the practice in Illinois.

A House committee last week approved legislation that would make it a felony to implant jewelry in someone's eye.

43-year-old owner of Black Moon Tattoos conceded, however, that as tattoos become more mainstream, people in Europe and the U.S. coasts are undergoing more daring and possibly dangerous body modifications -- larger and deeper piercings through various body parts.

"It's like you're not a freak anymore if you have a tattoo," Veara said. "To be a freak, you've got to step up a little bit."
