You read that right. Not “eyeball tattoos”, as in tattoos of eyeballs.
Eyeball tattooing. As in tattooing your eyeballs.
With the red pictured above, it’s easy to believe that maybe I was misinformed. It looks like an injury. Or possibly a bad infection.
But what about now?
According to the The Eyeball Tattoo FAQ, the technique of injecting tattoo ink into the whites of the eye has been around, in its current incarnation, since 2007. The site estimates that “… there are several hundred people with tattooed eyes.” Several hundred people, including two convicts who tattooed each other’s eyes while in prison. Yum, sanitary.
You may have noticed by now that I have a thing about eyeballs. I wear contacts from time to time, but that’s about the most I can handle. Eyeball stuff freaks me out. And having sat for several large tattoos, I can’t imagine the sensation of a needle, even hand-held, repeatedly jabbing me in the eye.
It’s just…you only have one pair of eyes. I’m an incredibly visual person — reading, writing, knitting — everything I do relies on my vision.
Side effects of tattooing your eyeballs could include: blindness, years-long headaches, and permanent blurry vision or light sensitivity that cannot be treated. One guy ended up with a permanent black eye when his black ink leaked into the tissue under his eyeball.
It might look totally badass…
…and I will always support the right of people to modify their bodies as they wish, but I hope people think long and hard before trying this particular experiment, especially while it’s in its relative infancy.

Horrible. No need to think long, We should not even think about this.
I just can’t imagine…there’s no going back. Ever. Even a facial tattoo can be lasered off or toned down. Even if you suffer no side effects, what if you change your mind?
This kind of things should not be an option. Getting tattoo normally is fine, but this is something abnormal.
I truly cannot imagine any circumstance where anyone would want to do that to their eyes. Why?
I can only guess it’s to push the envelope. Tattoos are mainstream now, no one cares about piercings, you gotta do SOMETHING to scare the normals.
I wonder if it’s forever to their eyes? I’m betting somewhere down the line, most of them will regret it. I think it’s way too risky, and strange.
I don’t even like putting contacts in. Wtf is wrong with people…
It gives me the heebies… and that takes a lot.
Looks really scary and terrify….
