World's First Eyeball Tattoo - Ouch!

Diana.. you have outdone yourself...:)

Is that the tattoo artist's dirty finger nails in the first picture? If so, gross!

and there wasn't just one man there were 3, and I don't think they ever got finished. Here's the original http://modblog.bmezine.com/2007/07/02/three-blind-mice/. I think they all just have the initial spot.

Ouch! Can he go blind

I don't think he can go blind. Someone commented in one of the links above that light passes through the black part of the eye, not the white.

Very interesting, to say the least!

Besides the eye catching title (no pun intended), the dirty fingernails in the first picture, grossed me out too. I wonder if he can laser his tatoo away like traditional tatoos that people eventually realize that they don't care for - talk about ouch!

Great post Diana!  I bet you this catches on, even though I'd never do it!Thomas A. Parmalee

Why would anyone want to do that???

Long live the fighters!

get a load of those filthy fingernails in the first pics, those cant be sterile..

That that's Shannon Larratt, the owner/publisher of BMEzine, a body modification e-zine. The pictures above are a bit deceptive, it makes it appear that the whole eye is blue when really the first picture is more accurate as to what I looks like, the last picture is just ink in his eye that's not actually under the skin. The dirty fingernails are Shannon's I believe.

The dirty nails totally grossed me out more then the eye tattoo.

So when he contracts pinkeye, does it change to light purple?

Could this dude be a huge Frank Herbert fan? In Herbert's Dune books,characters addicted to the mind altering "Spice" were easily distinguished by the drugs effect of turning the eyeballs bluish.

does he realize that it is much quicker to get to the bloodstream from the eye than from the skin?

Why would God let this happen????

oh god my arse...

I can't understand what's the use of tatooing one's eye??? Also I cannot comprehend what this tatto represents after all, I mean, is it a figure or is just a drop of ink or what? And couldn't the owner of those dirty fingernails just wash his hands and brush the nails before having their picture taken??? 

He is not the first by far, unless he's lived 2,000 years.

Only an idiot or a brave man can do this. I cant say what he is?????

I reckon its more likely to be the idiot receiving the Tattoo

contact would have been a better choice!

Ok so I get it, but what is the end result? a blue eye.. I dont get the point ???
if that is not the end result then what the hell is?
I am intrigued yet totally grossed out !!!!!!

I think the fingernails are not "dirty" in the sense of having dirt and grime. More likely they are stained with tattoo ink, and not a health hazard.

Why the f**k would you do that

I could be wrong, but I suspect this person has gotten a little too immersed in the Dune books by Frank Herbert and wants to look like a Fremen desert warrior

he was a big Frank Herbert/David Lynch fan

As in to look like the Fremen of Arrakis

:)

=M0=

Wouldn't the point be to have something in the blue? like a shape? or a word? Ugh that would be creepy.

you think "ew gross... he just doesnt wash his hands" but if your working with black ink all the time, its going to dye your fingernails...

food coloring does the same thing.. and its blackneess of his nails, not like a dingy brown or anything..

Oh Jesus Christ! WTF! how effing retarded....dude! there MUST be something else to wrap your head around instead of F$cking up your eyes! DUDE!!!!!

This was completley pointless.

this man is CRAZY!!!

well that's kind of gross. contacts would've made more sense, wouldn't they?

imagine this guy at 80, hobbling around with his blue eyeball(s),

So the guy got his eyeball tattooed... Good for him he wanted to do it. He thought it would be cool. It probably did not come out like he wanted. Most things never do. But it was his choice hes not asking you to do it so lay off. Oh and I have been a tattoo artist for five years and I'll tell you its not the craziest thing I have ever seen. I have seen alot crazier in person.

wow! i didn't know u can tattoo your eyes... until 2nite! this is hectic!

I have several tattoos, but this by far has to be the stupidest thing anyone could ever do. It's interesting to see the pictures though, to each his own.

i first seen this on csi new york & thought it looked cool so i've been researching since & am quite convinced i will get this done (after i find out the end results,obviously i don t want to go blind)
i think the whole point of getting this done is just to be different

I think that this is by far the most stupidist idea that I have ever heard of.

Yes it does look cool, and yes it would look cool if you tattooed your eye with rainbow colours but I would never do this as you would probably go blind and besides, how would you change it back to your natural colour if you didnt like it anymore or were sick of getting dirty looks when you walk down the street.

I would love to hear from anybody that has actually had their eye tattooed.

Thanks from Emily x

Ol Blue Eyes won't outgrow that Fad anytime soon. What a putz

Perhaps the moron should have chosen a pinkish rosy ink for both eyes. Would if that would affect those colour blind. Hmm perhaps not as it's a brain, optic nerve or neural thing.

the man is an moron

yo smell

The only reason I feel bad for this guy is that one day he's gonna
get real tired of explaining it:)
& the best part of the "different" is the reveal;)

I tend to think the fingernails are actually the "tattoee" rather than the tattooer. The reason being, check out the angle of the fingers...looks like both hands being used, this guy doesn't look like hygiene is his biggest concern, nor are health issues since he IS getting an eye tat, and the tattooer is wearing gloves anyway!

But, I have to agree also that any artist is going to have some funky nail stuff going on. This doesn't look like artist hands, just pure funk, dirt, grime & looks like it's been there a while...sorry...clean up your act if you plan to post for all the World to see.

The spice must flow...

The coolest thing I've ever seen. Anyone whose read any of Frank Herbert's Dune novels most certainly agrees.

Granted, the guy is clearly a huge nerd, but dammit, that is a ballsy nerd. I want blue eyes!!! I want to look like a spice addict!
