Eye Tattoo

A man from Toronto has been the first person to get an eye tattoo. He turned the whites of his eyes blue.

There is a procedure called Corneal tattooing but it is usually used for patients who had eye trauma, but not in this case. This is referred to as body modification or Cosmetic Tattooing.

40 injections of blue ink are injected to the whites of the eyes in order to complete this procedure. The blue pigment was injected under the top layer of the eye with the use of a syringe and this injected the ink into the eye. The person who performed the procedure used a traditional needle but when the ink didn't hold on to the cornea, he switched on using the syringe instead.

The man in the photo below reported that all is good except that he feels like there is something in his eyes.







He looks really pretty now.

wow! this is jaw dropping! I won't do this even if someone will pay me $500,000,000,000,000 to have my eye treated like that :)

@paul,
That is true. I wonder what entered into his mind he wanted his whole eyeballs blue.

@davida,
It must have been a very painful procedure.

@pastilan
I wonder what kind of body modification people would think of next.

Wow! Yuck! That's all just painful to look at, isn't it?

What the hell will people think of next?

Allure said...

@hawg,
Maybe the person who performed the procedure injected anesthesia on the eyeballs first lolz!

Holy sweet mother of God. I cannot explain how disturbing that is for me.

i think im going to faint :(

Allure said...

@Stephen,
Seems like the man who underwent this procedure does not like his eyes much. He should have donated it instead to the blind who would pay anything just so he could have perfect eyesight.


@snow,
I puked when I found this lolz!

tetet said...

OMG, did you notice the dirty fingernails????

Pastilan said...

@tetet you are observant :) fingernails speak a thousand words about the owner :)

Allure said...

@tetet,
Those were not dirty fingernails. The nails' tips were also tattooed black lolz! Just kidding...

Hey there Allure. I'm all for expressing yourself but I remember seeing this on the Discovery Channel and I thought it was pretty stupid. Only because I don't think it's artistic. You can't create an image in your eyeball. It's basically blotches of color and even then, it doesn't spread out evenly. It's just something that I don't see a point in doing.

2 inmates at Limon, Colorado state Pen, did the same thing. Both are "Cellies". One did his eyes in red, the other guy in blue. I guess they claimed they were the only ones in the world who had color eyes no one else has. Was on "Lockdown" on NGEO.
