The eyeball tattooing procedures were done by Howie (LunaCobra.net), with photos by Lane Jensen (of Tattoo and Piercing Magazine). The first procedure was done on Pauly Unstoppable using a traditional hand-poked technique. The eye distorted significantly but it was difficult to get ink to hold. Probably about forty strikes in all were done but so far it seems like limited ink held.
Because the we had trouble getting the ink under the surface (and were able to “wash” it out of the small needle incisions), we tried the second procedure, on Josh using a 29ga needle and syringe, thinning down the ink very slightly with an antibiotic eyewash. Since the goal was simply to blanket the white of the eye in color, there wasn’t a need for fine detail. The first injection was shallow and appeared to dissipate on the surface, but the second injection was at the perfect level and formed a dark bubble of ink just over the sclera (in the third picture you can see some of the ink running back out of the injection hole).
Finally, we did my eye, using the injection method as well although this time with a 28ga needle. It is extremely difficult to precisely get the needle into the right layer. In my case the first one appears to be slightly shallow, with the second injection potentially entering the sclera itself (so basically there’s a bubble of ink in too deep a layer, although it appears to be surfacing).
The procedures themselves were effectively painless because there aren’t nerve endings in the surface of the eye, and we did additional control with lidocaine drops which numbed the lids. After pain is fairly minor, although we all have bruising and some discomfort. I have what appears to almost be blistering between the sclera and conjunctiva which is worrying me a little but so far I don’t have reason to believe this is abnormal. Aftercare, at least in my case, is antibiotic drops and a patch.
In any case, we’ll keep you updated!
I really have to emphasize again that the procedure was extensively researched and done by people who were aware of the risks and possible complications and that it should not be casually attempted. Now that this experiment has been started, please wait for us to either heal or go blind before trying it!

okay... WHY???????
stupid and irresponsible... for a disastrous result...
Yeah, I'd only count that as a Tattoo if it was some sort of design, as it is it is just ink in the eye... i get that all the time when I'm drawing.
he who controls the spice controls the universe
Be stupid and become famous.
Absolutely lame.
Wow...that is WAAYY fucking cool. So what was the bet on...The one you lost i mean for you to do such an idiotic, pointless thing?
Just wasted 2 min of my life.....
First thought: "Gross!"
Second: "Do we get to see what it looks like when it's done?"

Prior to this I held the human race in very low esteem. Now I have to say we're doomed!
And these guys actually POKE their eyes with sharp instruments
stupid. but at least he has been publicized and become famous
Whoaaaa!! Gives new meaning to the old saw that some people LIKE a poke in the eye with a sharp stick!!!!
Thanks for interesting article.
WANKER!
WANKER!
Yep. You'll be the coolest guy in the nursing home.
Nice work, douchebag!
Where can I get one? I always wanted to have blue eyes.
"I have what appears to almost be blistering between the sclera and conjunctiva which is worrying me a little but so far I don’t have reason to believe this is abnormal."
Yeah, because blistering on your sclera from poking the hell out of it, and then injecting ink into it is completely normal, as well as the blisters.
I have a white lens, so is it possible to color it with black or brown ink? How and Where???
weirdo haha iv had 1 on my arm ya no like normal people have neva nown any1 2 be so werid n do sumthin like that i wouldnt mind but it looks shit aswell!
i don't get it... why would you risk going blind?
Ha ha ha screw these douches.
Nice work, very original and unique.
I would like to get it done myself, could you please list any possible serious hazards with the procedure?
Well as long as it doesnt affect your vision permanently then whoooo cares. thats awesome and original so get off their cases...
can it be done with UV ink?
what is the point? it is just a blue blotch? is it supposed to look like something?
I thought I had seen some really retarded shit in my life, but this? damn, what fuckin' loser would do this to his eye? Straight retards. Hang yourself quick before an innocent gets hurt.
Fukin looks disgusting
STUPID!!
ONLY WHO HAVE A DIRTY HAND...
LIKE THIS PERSON...WILL THINK TO MAKE THE SAME THING...
BULL SHIT....
blind people in the world that would give anything to have sight and you abuse your eye like that. What idiocy!
YOU ARE A RETARD to do that to your eye god you idiot.
you schould of just been born blinde
you and your friend are idiot's
ok i guess if thats what floats your boat.
Yea, this is the stupidest thing i have ever seen. Fucking idiot.
Dumb...they should have taped both of their eyes shut for a month THEN see if they wanted to chance it...stupidity never ceases to amaze me...
a
I don't think thats a stupid idea. If you go blind, you kinda deserved it, but props for trying something new!
stupid and irresponsible? he's doing it to his own eye, not to yours, so leave the dude alone. One of the beauties of free will is that we can do to our body what we wish. Now if he were to sue the tattoo artist for him going blind, that would be stupid and irresponsible.
What is stupid and irresponsible is that someone would actually do this to another human being. Even the craziest, most "unique" people out there need someone to smack them over the head and tell them they are idiots (in fact I would argue that they need them more than non-unique "conformists" do). The truth is that this is incedibly dangerous and wreckless to say the least. Do you realize that eye DOCTORS can't legally perform such injections in much of the United States and the world? What makes some guy with ink for skin and a 6-foot bong in the back room think that he is capable of performing such a dangerous procedure. I hope you get a severe allergic response and your eye swells shut and it is publicized all over yahoo.com so that no one will try such a STUPID thing ever again.
You are retarded...not much more to say...you dont even deserve a comment
All I can say is lay off, you judgemental assholes.
Who the fuck are you to him that he gives a rat's ass what any of you think.
His eye, his money, his choice.
AWWWW, you people suck, lol. I think thats really awesome!! Being a future tattoo artist, that's really brave on both parts.... I wouldnt hate on someone whos bold enough to do it.
Sure its risky and even dangerous, but you gotta give a man credt.
Read Dune much? Haha, anyways. Awesome and original idea guys. I would love to get this done some day when it's a little more perfected. Keep us up to date please! =)
I Dont Like, It not Nice, It makes me ,sad, bizzey-rizzey out of my bonts!lenny likes the DMV, you are a fatty head!
There's a big interview with the guy who had this done, Pauly Unstoppable at bizarremag.com
http://www.bizarremag.com/weird_world/body_world/6921/bodymod_king.html
Check out his implants, full-on piercings and tattoos...
STUPID IS AS STUPID DOES, WAIT.....THIS IS PAST STUPIDITY.
Meh, people had the same reaction when tattooing made a come back, now every second person has ink on them. I wouldn't have it done personally but the idea someone had about UV ink would be amazing.
I also read that these kind of mods have been around for centuries. It's all been done before and as long as no harm comes out of it, who the hell cares. Their eyes.
To whoever said that this is 'original' is clearly a moron. They've been doing procedures like this for near 200 years. Used for 'normalizing' cosmetic defects in blind eyes to make them appear less unsightly. I wonder if this guy knew they made full-eye contact lenses that give the same effect for a fraction of the cost? Plus, they're removable, albeit somewhat difficult.
I'm not sure why you people deem it necessary to insult people that do stuff like this so badly. yeah, its not very bright, but it's not like they're trying to force us to do it too. what they want to do with their own body is their decision, so stop being a bunch of stuck up douchebags. thanks.
Kicka$$ from a fellow tattoo lover. Send me the finsihg product at foreveryoung201@hotmail.com. Sweettttttttttttttttttttt
eye tattoos? you, sir, are a moron.
In December of 2006, the retina in my left eye came detatched. In the year and a half since, I've endured five invasive proceedures to try to re-attach it and I've spent thousands of dollars that I'm now deeply in debt for. If you could only imagine the level of disgust I feel toward you.
you must be one of the most idiotic people to ever walk this earth.
i have pretty serious eyesight problems that are continually getting worse..i can't even read stuff on TV from a distance larger than 25cm without glasses and you endager your eyesight like that...
You guys are assholes. its fucking art. Shannon Larratt and Pauly and all the other guys pioneering this new mod are turning themselves into who they want to be and who they feel they truly are. They're controlling their bodies in ways that many people don't realize is possible. Sure, it's more extreme than a lower back tattoo or eyebrow piercing but has no less purpose. Yeah theres risk involved, but its their bodies they're risking. It's a risk to ingest alcohol but these guys will have something to show for it other than a hangover.
if you want to see the healed result go to modblog.bmezine.com
...I never thought there'd be a time when the 'penis tattoo' made a little more sense... okay, it still doesn't, but this is even stupider. Proof that the human race is about to be visited by frustrated aliens, who will proceed to dump disinfectant on the planet and just scrub it clean!
If this shit is art then my art education is absolutely worthless now!
I probably Wouldn't do it but I still fucking cool
you people should just mind your own business and stop judging people for what they do, I mean its not like its hurting you or anything
its called freedom bitch!!!!!!!!!!
I wonder if michael jackson is still black down there??
-giggle- <(^^,)>
what a ramdom bitch
we're talking about tattoos here
go and wonder how big michael jackson's dick is at another web site bitch !!!!!!!!! X(
this is stupid unless its got some kinda design???
if the whole white part were like the 3rd picture from the bottom, it would look like swimming pool eyes! I think that would be pretty cool!
...something to think about :)
A bunch of people have said, "his eye, his money, his choice" blah, blah, and more blah. It's not going to be his money making the disability payments when this idiot goes blind or funding the various other state aided assistance he'll receive when he can't get a job.
Some people cut parts of their bodies off. Arms, legs, fingers and toes. Totally weird.
Yes, and we call such people mentally ill. What's your point?
Why you do that!!!!!!!!!!!! your insane.............
Along with implants and "cutting"...this yet another distastful and worthless form of "body art"
Being a Dune fan I understand the idea. A thumbs up for the guts needed to bring Herbert's idea to life, but still... this is insane.
The eye is a fine an tender organ as it is, I'm afraid I can't see a way for ink to be there and still allow the eye to function.
But I hope I'm wrong. Hope for the best. Keep us posted.
he shoulda got a tattoo of Michael Jackson on his eye. haha then hes be fuckin gangster!
BITCH!
NIGGER!!!!!!
ok fair play for trying it each to their own n all that but at da point when u injected the ink wiv a seringe in a large amount would that not become a body mod an not a tat coz u dont do tats so y not just say its a body mod not dat its a tat when its clearly not dont tink itl catch on unless u can get a desgin on it but that dont seem likely so kind ov a pointless ting to do but its up to u fuck ur own eye up if ya want peace
Forget what these idiots say, that is an awesome procedure. If all goes well id consider getting it myself. id get it white myself. Why hasnt updates been posted yet?
that looks furking painful.
whiny little brats.. who cares if someone wants ink in their eye.
pissoff already.
You people are crazy that shit looks painful and it thinks it's utterly stupid for fame. Dumb if you go blind its ur own damn fault..and i am sure other fools will do this shit!!
STUPID!!!
why would anyone want to do anything like that?, I love tattoos I have a pretty massive on my back, but in the eye?!, I think when you get older you'd only look ridiculous...
omg y would u even do tht
it aint gd man
u ppl need help
like now
some ppl would give anythin 2 ave gd eyes 2 c proper, n u jst throwin it away
u should b ashamed of ur selfs
n it jst looks like a tiny scary blaber...keep away from little kids if u gonna mess ur self up like tht
This actually looks pretty cool. Came across the idea whiel watching C.S.I., if I could die the whites of my eyes a sky blue safely with no long term effects, I'd do it right now.
that's ridiculous! that's the worst thing i saw in my life.
i think these pictures are NOT cool at all - shows how stupid some people can be, what a idiot !
haaaa me dolio a mi :| :S
I saw this on the History channel and right away I thought it was totally cool. I had the UV idea too though - wouldn't necessarily want it to be visible all the time, but a couple of UV stars in the eye? That would be very cool.
Everyone who's hating on these guys need to get a life. Sure it's a risk to an important organ, but anyone with ink is taking a risk. Anyone who drinks booze is taking a risk. And I seriously doubt some of you haters don't drink and drive - which risks OTHER PEOPLE'S LIVES and is the dumbest thing in the world to do.
Props for such a great idea, and I'll be in line once a few more guinnea pigs help refine the technique.
OMG I love your
eye. It mast have
taken some big balls
to do that. Props to
You.
Spice spice baby
fkin disgusting and ugly

Amen.
It's their bodies, and so they can do as they please! Personally, though I wouldn't want to take the risk, I reckon it's a pretty cool idea.
It might turn into designs eventually, but for now, I reckon these people are very brave to go into it head-first. They will be the first; I'll bet they won't be the last.
Sorry, but I am going to have to say this is very brave and very cool. All those idiots up above stating how lame it is need to admit to what it really is... something you would never have the balls to do yourself.
Just because you are too chickenshit to take a chance in life, do not insult those that are. All those with some courage see right through your lame "omg!!!! lamezzzz!!! Only idiots do that!!!" posturing.
Some people are the sheep, and some the wolves. The easy way to tell the difference is in who takes the chances, and who "baaaaa"s with the herd.
Kudos to you three for being wolves. Give us some updates, already. I am definitely interested in seeing how this turns out, and watching the technique get refined.
I think this is very unique and i look forward to reading more about this. have you heard of eye jewelry i read a article saying it costs 3900 but i think it'd be interesting.
body modifications are a fascinating thing. don't mock that which you do not understand. you people are "idiots" and "retards" for being so ignorant as to judge others. you people have ugly insides. ugly ugly insides.
bravo for being brave enough to venture and try things that you are curious about.
I' am more stupid now than I was before I seen this, this...
have some respect to your body and when your grown your gonna look like a mentally retarded dick
what a fucktard !!!!!!
ya jackassca
Dumbass is Dumb for doing this.
Hmmm.. I most definitely read a couple of articles about this topic and it brings me back down memory lane :)
The question that I ask myself is what caused something like this to happen, be posted, or be written??
yeah?!?! Kinda like when I got my lung tattooed, it looks awesome. Really does the tattoo and piercing world need a bad rap for smeg heads causing what will ultimately be kids destroying thier bodies, lives and future.
Stick with the original and what works and doesn't destruct.
thought it would be way cooler but it kinda looks like shit. i think you should have gotten a medical consult and prolly still should
srry 2 rain on anyone's parade but, seriously?!?!? this is just a new and original art founded by an invisionary. yes, there are risks, but what doesn't have risks?!?! dose any1 remember what it was like when tattoos first touched western culture?!?! i mean, everyone thought they were stupid and now look, they're one of the most popular modern art styles. ppl need 2 stop being so judgemental and harsh, it's not like some1 is forcing u 2 dye ur eye. u guys have serious mental issues for persecuting this guy when u would've been just as ridiculed for any body modifications u got when they were new.
dudes thats awsum as hell! i wonder if u can get two colors tho? cuz i want black and red eyes =D
whatever floats ur boat, but yeah that doesnt look good at all. Maybe if you could tat an image, but a blotch of inch looks like you have some disease
seriously it looks like u have an eye infection...n how the hell is this considered as body art...its just a torturous procedure...u must b out of your mind 2 do this...
I'm so hardcore an eye tattoo isn't enough for me. I wear a spike through my cranium and walk around with my nuts on fire.
so i think, yes stupid, irrational, and verry dangerous.
BUT like many great experiments that gave ALL of us this life of the 21st century, where once condemnd and called reckless, and idiotic. I think that i would be proud of these people to take chrage and find out for them selves. instead of sitting there using your computers that someone else created. as it shows great things start out as once undone. so try something and stop waisting your lives on putting down others... i'm here reaserching tattos and i stumbled across this intreging article wich i think happens to be both sick, and brilliant..... congrats for those involved.
hope for the best outcome
Its more fun to read the insulting comments than look at your stupid work!!! hehe.. :D
Is there actually a point to what you are doing?
Will it benefit anyone in any more than a frivolous way?
If you are going to mess about with your eyes and sight then think about those people who cannot see, or who are in pain, and then do research that might actuually do some GOOD!
how much do they charge for something like that?? What kind of consent issues are there? and who the heck would do this to someone in the first place?
Your eyes, your money, your will, and definitely your regret in the future for a fool moment you had done this.
โคตรโง่เลย คิดถึงพ่อแม่ไหม?
