emailWorld's First Eyeball Tattoo - Ouch!
A Toronto man has been the first to get an eyeball tattoo. Basically, he has turned the whites of his eyes blue.
Corneal tattooing is usually used for patients that have had trauma to their eye, not for this, which is called body modification.
It took 40 injections of blue ink in order to complete this procedure. Pigment was injected under the top layer of the eye using a syringe. The syringe injected the ink into the eye. At first they had tried a traditional needle with ink on it, but when the ink didn't hold, they switched to the syringe.
The man has reported that all is well so far, but it feels like he has something in his eye.
I can barely stand needles poking me anywhere, but in the eye? I can't even imagine. I wonder what would happen if you decided to change your mind after it was done?
Who here wants to get the world's next eyeball tattoo? Maybe a colorful rainbow would work nicely.

Is that the tattoo artist's
Submitted on March 29th, 2008 by AnonymousIs that the tattoo artist's dirty finger nails in the first picture? If so, gross!
it wasn't really tattooed...
Submitted on March 30th, 2008 by Anonymousand there wasn't just one man there were 3, and I don't think they ever got finished. Here's the original http://modblog.bmezine.com/2007/07/02/three-blind-mice/. I think they all just have the initial spot.
Ummmm
Submitted on March 30th, 2008 by Gloria CamposOuch! Can he go blind
I don't think he can go
Submitted on March 30th, 2008 by Diana EidI don't think he can go blind. Someone commented in one of the links above that light passes through the black part of the eye, not the white.
Very interesting, to say the least!

Besides the eye catching
Submitted on March 30th, 2008 by AnonymousBesides the eye catching title (no pun intended), the dirty fingernails in the first picture, grossed me out too. I wonder if he can laser his tatoo away like traditional tatoos that people eventually realize that they don't care for - talk about ouch!
WOW

dang
Submitted on March 31st, 2008 by Anonymousget a load of those filthy fingernails in the first pics, those cant be sterile..
it should be noted
Submitted on March 31st, 2008 by AnonymousThat that's Shannon Larratt, the owner/publisher of BMEzine, a body modification e-zine. The pictures above are a bit deceptive, it makes it appear that the whole eye is blue when really the first picture is more accurate as to what I looks like, the last picture is just ink in his eye that's not actually under the skin. The dirty fingernails are Shannon's I believe.
Gross
Submitted on March 31st, 2008 by AnonymousThe dirty nails totally grossed me out more then the eye tattoo.
So when he contracts
Submitted on March 31st, 2008 by AnonymousSo when he contracts pinkeye, does it change to light purple?
Dune Fan?
Submitted on April 2nd, 2008 by AnonymousCould this dude be a huge Frank Herbert fan? In Herbert's Dune books,characters addicted to the mind altering "Spice" were easily distinguished by the drugs effect of turning the eyeballs bluish.
baaaaa
Submitted on April 6th, 2008 by Anonymousdoes he realize that it is much quicker to get to the bloodstream from the eye than from the skin?
Ohhh...
