Following up on the last eyeball tattoo photos, which I have to admit looked a little photoshopped and I had my suspicions that they looked “too good to be true”, Shawn Porter snapped this photo of Josh‘s incredible now all-blue eye tattoo. It is too good AND true! There are now around a dozen people in this community who’ve tattooed their eyes to one extent or another (I’m dying to see Cutthroat’s all-black eye) — will this snowball like tongue splitting, although thought to be a potentially terrible idea, did in 1998?
This tattoo was done by Howie (LunaCobra) of course, using eight to ten injections using two colors of blue ink to get the effect… He tells me tomorrow he’s doing an eye using a mix of red and black ink to do a “demon eye”… Damn!

I am shocked at how well this turned out, especially with the early photos when shannon and two friends did it at first.. it was quite blotchy and didn’t look too promising.
Did this start off in little pockets and then spread out? Or was that an immediate effect?
It makes my eyes water just looking at it; I’ve had dry eyes and contact lense issues forever, and I just can’t help but hurt for him. How long did it take before he felt normal again? Has his vision changed at all?
I can appreciate those saying its safe to do it, but I am 100% sure SOMEONE is going to lose their vision or damage an eye severely at some point if this really grows in popularity. All it takes is one small mistake and it could disastrous.
Has anybody tried wearing contacts of their eyeball ink?

I just can’t understand why people would risk their sight to do something like this. Let’s hope for the sake of the people who have this done that there’s no long term risks involved. Also, after a while will the colour fade away?

Antishock – We just did one or two test injections. This is the same thing, but more injections.
I don’t see why it would affect vision. It heals quite quickly as well.
That said, as much as I *strongly* support this, I agree that there’s a real risk for something to go very wrong. While I’m very happy to see people doing this, I hope that everyone doing it goes in with the realization that it’s completely possible that something goes disastrously wrong.

It’s amusing that this looks totally fake: most casual observers will just assume it’s a lens which, according to Shannon anyway, kind of defeats the purpose (the idea being to make it permanent, apparently). Interesting how this will affect other people’s perception of it. Probably most people will immediately think of Marilyn Manson since, although he’s not the first to make frequent use of freaky contact lenses, he’s probably the most well known person to do it recently.

This looks cool as fuck. I’m really happy to see that it turned out so well and hear that he hasn’t experienced problems with it. I don’t think it’s something I’d do myself (my eyes are pretty much my favourite part of me as it is, so I wouldn’t want to risk potentially fucking them up!) but it looks amazing.

Are there pictures of the all black eye? I’d love to see one.

im a little concerned that this is photoshoped, the picture is quote out of focus and blurry yet the blue has allot of grain on it and where it meets the iris it it too sharp for a picture thats that out of focus. im just really hoping its real it would be quite awesome.

Haha. People keep saying Dune for blue eyes, Star Wars with red eyes…and every time someone said they wanted to see a black eye, I just wanted to say X-Files.

Hey Shannon, I live in Charlotte, NC and have been a long time fan of body mods. I have a bifurcated tongue that I performed on myself using the monofilament line method with a bit of advice from Steve Haworth. I’ve had it for about 5 years now. I’ve been wanting to do a black eyeball tattoo ever since I heard about this, but I don’t know how to go about finding someone with experience performing it. Understandably, I’d like to find someone that has done this successfully a few times. If you know anyone I could contact, send me an e-mail and let me know. Also, if you could give me more info on the process and the different methods, it would be much appreciated. The only method I’ve seen is the injection method.
Thanks
Tenshi
