World'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.

Corneal? Its Scleral...
Submitted on January 3rd, 2009 by AnonymousThats actually the sclera...or the whites of the eyes. the clear layer over the white is the conjuctiva which is probably where the dye is deposited. the corneal is the clear dome over your iris (blue,brown,green part)..if that got tattooed then it would prevent light from passing through technically making you blind. It would be like painting the windshield of your car blue then trying to drive!! You wouldnt be able to see shit! The person receiving the tattoo would be in an incredible amount of pain! Just ask or search for corneal abrasion, or corneal ulcer. I work at a Opthalmologists office, ive see the nasty infections that people can get...ill pass. cool pics though!
