Artificial bioluminescence
Derive yet more pleasure from those piercings...

It's painfully obvious that people take pleasure from inserting bits of weirdly-crafted metal into various new and existing orifices. Why not create more of a fashion statement by using existing luminous, Day-Glo or UV-sensitive coatings on the jewellery to make it that bit more appealing? Allegedly.

Are we not in awe of those creatures that glow and react to various rays of the spectrum? Let's emulate them! Or rather, let those who have piercings do so and I'll watch from a convenient distance...

       Why stop there?   

       Glow in the dark eye make-up would help you catch prey in the deep dark waters of the sea.   

       Glow in the dark nickers would help attract mates (if bugs are your type).

       Back in the heady days of the 80s, when UV lights were popular in nightclubs, some girls used to wear little or no underwear and a dress that the underwear would show through, as it fluoresced. As an attractant it seemed to work quite well.   

       I think you may be onto something here... a sort of giant squid, horror-of-the-deep kind of thing.   

       Croissant for the image.

       UB: not wanting to quibble or anything, and certainly not trying to cast any doubt on your story, but if they were wearing no underwear, how would it fluoresce?!

       Ho hum - back to the drawing board for the hard-of-thinking...
