DO NOT BUY THIS ITEM!
This product is a mesh intended for developers to derive from. If you buy it, you will end up with an ugly-looking red, blue, green and magenta piercing.

This mesh was commissioned by Wolfie. His is the original idea.



You can find this piercing for the right and left sides, and for both at the same time:

Developer's guide

Welcome developer. This is a quick guide to deriving from this mesh, with some information on the texturing patterns used and several templates aimed at making your life easier. This mesh is fully designed to be easily derived from so that you can easily turn it into virtually any kind of piercing you want!

Specifications

These derivable male rings feature a ring piercing each on the left and right nipples, with a square, opacity-mapped plane intended for you to turn it into any piece of jewelry you want. The rings are not a piece of clothing, but rather an accessory. As such, they will not make you go bare chested. It is advised that you go bare chested when you wear them, otherwise it will look like the rings are attached to your shirt or t-shirt.

Textures

There are only two materials in this mesh, one for each ring, and they have been assigned meaningful names to make it easier to identify them. The textures are mapped and non-tiling, and fully oppacity mapped. Also, the placeholder textures that are in place are color-coded to help you in easily identify what part of them goes where in the mesh. Nonetheless, here's the templates for the materials on the mesh, as well as a definition of what they are and their main characteristics. You can download the templates for the textures by right-clicking on their name and selecting "Save file as..." from the context menu. I strongly recommend you use JPG files for your textures.

Notes

The ring is not a piece of clothing, but rather an accessory. As such, it will not make you go bare chested. It is advised that you go bare chested when you wear it, otherwise it will look like the ring is attached to your shirt or t-shirt.

Also, due to the nature of IMVU's meshing system, the placement of the ring will not change with your clothing. This means that, even though it's fine tuned to precisely attach itself to the left , if you're wearing a "buffier" top, the piercing will end up misaligned and, probably, inside the torso (thus becoming invisible). This should not be a big deal, since you probably only want to have it on when you're barechested, but some swinwear products feature a "buffier", more muscular top, and the ring will not work properly with those. It is advised that you inform your customers about this in your derived product page, to avoid any misunderstandings.
