Eye Tattoo Update — Josh

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 think that this is now proven as viable and therefore everyone should be lining up to have it done. Its a really easy procedure so most of you could talk your local practitioner into doing it! And if not I’m sure you can just try it on one another with no ill side effects!

    Elektromutant – There’s (at least) one person in New Zealand with UV eyes as far as I know.

    Cere – Are you offering it?

    I can’t get over how much I love love love this mod. The permutations could be endless. Only there’s no way I’d have the nerve to do it myself…

    Shannon, if anyone on here wants an authentic “cere” eyeball tattoo I’d definately do it after discussing the procedure with them.

    So if this person decided to conceal this in future for some reason, could it be done with sclera contacts?

    I’m thinking along the lines of that beautiful woman with all the Derma Blend photos; wondering if there is any flexibility with such an intense mod.

    this is really striking and i bet there are a WEALTH of more subtle possibilities (very pale purple to make green eyes stand out, extremely light blue might make eyes seem brighter and more awake, etc). hooray for color theory fun and makeup 🙂 also, can you only inject one uniform color or could you make sort of a gradient? you could really make someone’s eyes appear closer together, farther apart, larger, smaller, etc. it would even effect the look of the bridge. i’m excited to see consequences (that sounds a little wrong) and possible applications.
