Man gets eyeball tattoo
Filed under: Skin Care
Think tooth tats are over the top? Look again. A man in Toronto has gone for perhaps the most bizarre and disturbing forms of tattoo that we've ever heard of: the eyeball tat. Sometimes, when people sustain serious eye injuries, doctors inject their eyes with dyes to make them look more natural. Now, starting with this
This guy's procedure, in which he basically had an artist turn the whites of his eyes primary blue, required forty ink injections at a Canadian body modification convention. Apparently, the artist tried the traditional tattoo needle, but when it didn't take, they had to go in with a syringe. Ouch. According to one observer "it's trippy - and definitely starts some interesting conversations."
While we're sure that's true, doctors warn that "infection, perforation, and hemorrhage are among the potential complications." Yeah, that and a lifelong case of buyer's remorse when you're sick of having blue eyes.Click here for images of the procedure.

Oh, that's old news. StyleDash should really start trying harder, not once have I ever seen anything they've put up I haven't heard of.
Here's a gallery on BMEzine with a bunch of them. http://www.bmezine.com/tattoo/eye001.html
I think the entirely blue one(1st pic) is nice, but I'm not a fan of the others.
