Abstract:
A method of applying a body piercing jewelry substitute to a user's body, comprising:(A) selecting a location on the user's body for the application of the body piercing jewelry substitute; (B) dampening the selected location, thereby forming a damp body surface; (C) placing the body piercing jewelry substitute, having an exterior sidewall within which is defined an interior cavity and having a lower rim defining an opening which allows air to move into and out of the cavity, on the selected location on the damp body surface with the lower rim in contact with the damp body surface; (D) reducing the air pressure in the area adjacent to the body piercing jewelry substitute, thereby causing some air to leave the cavity defined within the exterior sidewall and producing a seal between the lower rim and the damp body surface; and (E) restoring the air pressure to normal levels in the area adjacent to the body.
