Well maybe not, but the procedure of eyeball tattooing that he has been known to perform has.
Thanks to Allen Falkner for passing on this video to me.
Howie has infiltrated the prison system!

I’m really impressed at how deep the color is and the amount of coverage. So curious as to how they did it and what they used for ink. Hopefully they don’t have loss in vision later in life.

Yeah, the mercury content is concerning… But cobalt and copper salts in the eye is perfectly fine! hahaha

Loss of sight isnt really a problem if the eye is done right. Look at both Shannon and Rachel.
Rachel has a jewelry under her eye, and shannon has his tattooed.
Shannons would be a good example of how it can settle in the eye over time.

I was wondering when this would be put up…I thought what they did was cool and innovative given that they are in prison; at the same time, I thought they were really stupid because 1) They could’ve have really screwed up, and 2) Given the nonexistent access to proper tools and ink, they could be slowly going blind.

I dread the day I see a YouTube video of some high school kids doing this to each other like they do piercing their septums/eyebrows/etc/etc.
I think eyeball tattooing is neat and a wonderful example of pushing the boundaries, but as of yet unproven in its safety.
I’ve had tattooist friends say they had kids requesting or questioning about getting their eyeballs tattooed. Not understanding it or realizing it ISN’T a mainstream thing.

I didn’t mean for the phrase “Howie’s innovative eyeball tattooing procedure” to be taken as a statement of who’s concept this procedure originally was. I apologize for my poor choice of wording on that one.

From my experiance in the UK anyway, all jewellery is taken off you at reception. They sometimes let you wear an earring, but facial piercings and plugs are generally a no no.
When I was in prison I stretched my lobes from about 6mm to 30mm (about and inch and a quater) using pieces of rolled up mesuring tape and toothpaste to hold it open at the right size, effectively making adjustable tunnels.
They complained at first but there was nothing in the rules against it so techincally they couldn’t stop me from doing it. Jewllery is a prohibited item, but measuring tape and toothpaste are not.
From the video it looks to me like this guys plugs are home made, from allowed items such as pen lids for example.

I’m not sure wether I’m amazed or scared;)
Amazed as prison mods crossed some line im my opinion. Or maybe it’s because i’m from East where prison tattoo or scars are really meaningful and can really make or breake a person who’s got them. And now, I see guys who get their eyes tattooed just to be original, without (I suppose) any deep purpose.
I wonder if they have any social ladder there in prison, and how the tattoo is placing them now on this ladder.
I wonder how it’d be if they had the tattoos here, in one of Eastern prisons.
Yet, I’m quite scared thinking about lack of hygiene and specialized stuff to modify themselves, and I guees they’re really lucky being ok after such serious procedure.

Sean- the ” ‘s” after the name Howie and before terms like “innovative tattoo procedure” usually leads one to believe that the person named before said ” ‘s ” is the one who innovated the tattoo procedure. If you did not intend to lead people to that assumption, maybe it is best to reword that statement?

I thought it was a stupid idea when Shannon and the gang did it and I think it’s an especially stupid idea now that these guys have done it. It raises a lot of questions:
* Why are they allowed to view stuff like this online in the first place let alone possess copies of it?
* It must have taken a long time for them to do this with such coverage; why weren’t they stopped?
* What type of responsibility does BME bear for posting things of this nature to begin with?
As for why they’re scumbags, they’re serving time for fraud, conspiracy to commit murder, arson, and assault.

And is there some reason I’ve been placed on moderation? I haven’t said anything rude I’m aware of.

@71, the correction was made to change the statement so it and the post in general was not about the history of eyeball tattooing. That was never the point of the post. The only reason Howie was mentioned was for a joking angle to title the entry. When it was pointed out my wording lead people to falsely believe he came up with the idea for the procedure I changed it. I have a lot of history with Shannon and I would never try and write him out of the history of body mods. That being said this post was not about history before so I did not change it to be so now.

@60
Not everyone in prison is a scumbag, you don’t know the reasons why they broke the law, legality and morality are often very different things.
That said, of course there ARE going to be some scumbags in prison, just as there are scumbags out of prison.
