A black-and-white photo of a person mid-air in a Superman-style body suspension pose, supported by multiple hooks in their back and legs, smiling joyfully toward the camera. They are suspended horizontally in a large indoor space with high ceilings and visible rigging. A group of onlookers—some seated, some standing—watch with expressions of admiration, amusement, and support. The atmosphere is lively and communal, capturing a moment of shared experience and transformation.

Josh’s Blue Eye Project Continues!

Howie (LunaCobra) sent me an update on Josh‘s blue eye tattoo project which is looking great! I’m very jealous! Howie’s done a few more eyeball tattoos as well since he did the three of us (Josh, Pauly, and myself) last summer, and a few other people have experimented with it as well, both with machines and injection. Check it out, and there are two more (less “manipulated”?) photos after the break.

More entries on eye tattooing on ModBlog — 1 2 3 4 5 — as well as on my personal blog. I’ll try and post an update on the problems with mine — I have what seems to be a permanent, albeit probably harmless, bump on my eye — in the next few days.

    This is absolutely amazing !
    The blue ink is really shiny, I wonder how it could be with black or any dark colour.
    I hope this will come to French tattooists soon !

    Surprisingly, I’m not liking this.

    When the concept came up I was quite looking forward to seeing where this would lead but I’m sadly not as impressed as I thought I might be.

    I imagine it will look better completely blue, no white left. I’m also curious to see other colours, maybe that would change my opinion.

    where are the healed pics of everyones eyes that have gotten done. see what all worked and what stuck. i saw this guy for a few mins here at app as well and cut throat with his black eye. when they are fresh all that extra ink is still blurred in the eye making it look like more color then there is. looking at him i could not tell what he had done to his eye at the time. hell if i saw healed pic i might want to get mine done solid black but then again who knows what the outcome of this could be.

    Stigmata – Shannon has “healed” pics of his.

    Dragonheart – the first picture tells you what it would look like completely filled in with blue, so.. what do you mean by you “imagine” it would look better..?

    Wow, I quite like this…the white part around his iris actually looks pretty cool too, in my opinion. Glad that this is working out well.

    I cant wait until theres more people doing this procedure and more gets known about it. I have always wanted blue eyes. My eyes are brown and I think they look borring. Having the whites of my eyes being blue would be even better than reguler blue eyes! Im excited to see if this procedure gets perfected over the years then I will totally go for it!

    I agree Sara. Seeing a little bit of white in the tattoo looks really cool. It makes the blue look more “sky like”

    I don’t think I could live the perpetual dune references that would go along with a mod like this… then again, I got bored with the first book and stopped reading once they went to the desert. Sandworms just aren’t interesting to a fourteen year old girl. Nor is the idea of literal sweatsuits. Don’t worry, my sister practically disowned me and still won’t allow me to watch the movie until I finish it. It’s been years, you’d think she’d just let it go, but no.

    The ink has spread even more than these pictures show. I saw it yesterday, and the coverage is even better.

    It’s fucking surreal. Loving it.
