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 worry about the long-term affects of this and hope against hope that until we get more data, other practitioners DO NOT DO THIS. I also hope that clients will come into it knowing it’s at best a highly experimental process and could have terrible consequences, up to and including the loss of sight or severe pigment reaction/complications.

Somebody get me blue slushee pronto. Or, if Josh is around, just get me a straw.

am I imagining or does the corner of his eye seem to have a blue shade? does that have anything to do with the tattoo?

yes it does.

Continuing on what Shawn said about “experimental”, especially if the tattoo is done via injection there is heightened risk.
That said, my personal assessment is that using traditional tattoo methods that the risk is significantly lower than many other common body modifications.

Continuing on what Shannon said, my personal assessment is that the eyeball looks blueberry flavoured, and therefor delicious.

this makes me wonder if using white ink would make an improvement on eyes that have yellowed with age.

severed: what a brilliant idea!
So how long will it be before someone decides it’s “funny” to tattoo their eyes permanently bloodshot? It’s bound to happen… 🙂

Having eyes like this that were red not blue would be truly terrifying…

I would totally get this done just as a way to scare people. I think an opal type mixture would look incredible.

If I did this, I’d do it with red ink.

Demoiselle: I was waiting for someone to say that. I’m sure the Dune fans prefer the blue eyes, and the Star Wars fans the red 🙂 CoryVictorious:I think opal eyes would look spectacular.
