This photo is at about twenty four hours from the point of initial injection. This is on Josh, who is the person in the middle procedure in the entry below. The large blue spot below shows how far the ink has spread over the conjunctiva. It’s still spreading and I expect it to spread more over the next day. He’s having no discomfort other than a mild “it feels like there’s something in my eye” because of there still being a slight bulge.

Whereas I think that this is rather a silly thing for someone to do; this is basically a subconjunctival injection, which is a procedure I was taught to do in school. It is common for ophthalmologist to perform this procedure to place a depot of medication to be absorbed slowly. That being said, it being done by someone untrained in the proceure is dangerous and stupid.
The likelyhood is that all the ink will be removed from this area by the body’s immune system. The eye is not really a place that is designed for tattooing.
There is very little risk of the ink actually entering the globe of the eye and damaging vision.
Again, although I feel that the likelyhood of permanent vision loss is low, this is a stupid and dangerous thing to do.

PS The ink is spreading UNDER the conjunctiva not over it.
Sorry, I have this problem with technical specifics.

If it spreads further over is pupil, what is the likely consequence? Cloudy vision, blue-tinted vision…? Some combination of the two?
