Eyeball Tattoos: Body Art for those Looking Beyond Tattoos on the Skin
Eyeball tattoos have been a normal routine procedure for many. Just not by your local tattoo joint. Doctors use the tattooing technique to assist those that have had eye trauma to help give the eye a more normal, natural look. Innovative body decoration adorners took this procedure to the next level.
Practicing on pigs, tattoo artists studied how to go about this for the body art junkie to be the new wave of individuals expressing themselves. (Now don't get me wrong. I have had my own work done and love every drop of ink.) Trial and error proved that a regular needle to do the job wasn't the proper way to go. The needle technique failed. Ink would not stay in the white of the eye. Stepping it up a notch, someone grabbed a syringe. Colors from standard tat ink flooded the eye and stayed in. (Pictures can be found at Bmezine.com )
Those who are excited, don't be yet. There are major risks to having this procedure done. Your eyes have a very valuable purpose essential to life. While your skin can still function for you after the trauma of multiple needle sticks just about any where, one slip on they eye and your vision is a gonner. Don't think that all the mistakes are laying on your tattoo artist. If you even flinch at the wrong moment, your eyes are toast. Other very likely consequences of having your eyeballs tattooed are infection and hemorrhaging in your eyes.
Some of you out there that might regret a tattoo or even all of them, you at least have the option of laser removal if desired. Once you have the whites of your eyes done, there is no turning back. You are forever stuck with tie-die windows into your soul.
Despite all the warnings, several people have colorfully decorated their eyeballs with red, black, blue, green and every color under the sun. Tattooing your eyeballs is a major risk. How important is it to you to be the next hip form of originality? It can be done without complications but what would you do if you could never see your colorful art-form you have already created ever again?

Wow. I didn't realized this was done or could be done. I have one tattoo, but I think I'll pass on having my eyes tattooted. Like you said, flinch at the wrong moment, and your eyes are toast. Very interesting!
