When it comes to engagement rings, we’ve seen a lot of weird non-traditional approaches. But here’s one we just can’t wrap our minds (or tongues, rather) around: engagement tongue piercings. Jeweler Johnny Brookheart offers “alternative engagement” jewelry, including diamond tongue rings (or equally worse—belly button adornments). We imagine the couple who opts for this style met at a rave in 1998 and never looked back. The romantic scenario: He gets down on one knee to propose, she accepts, and instead of offering him her hand, he says, “Open wide,” and sticks her tongue with some pre-marital bling. Not really our thing, but, uh, to each his own.
