Posts with tag eyeball

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 idiotic adventurous Canadian, the medical art of corneal tattooing is becoming a new type of elective body modification.

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.

Just in case you weren't satisfied with the wide array of color contacts out there, either because you don't feel like they look natural or because of those silly instructions telling you to take them out once in a while, you'll be glad to know that you might have an option. A Toronto man nicknamed Pauly Unstoppable (of course) got an eyeball tattoo. Say it with me: EEEEWWWWW!!!!

Over 40 injections were made into the man's eyeball in order to turn it blue. Not just the iris -- the whole thing. The procedure was entirely experimental (and GROSS), and Mr. Unstoppable made a point to say that this was something and his tattoo artist had researched, and that nobody should try this until he finds out whether it will make him go blind or not.

Fantastic. Hope those blue (eye)balls are worth it, man.
