Eye Tattoos



There is a video out there that shows the first ever eyeball tattoo being done and I seriously could not get myself to watch it! If you want to watch it for yourself click on this – Eyeball Tattoos on Youtube!

This is all I know about this procedure:

PERMANENT – as in you decide to do this during your rebellious years, when your 50 you will still be rockin’ your death eyes!

BLINDNESS – very real chance you could permanently destroy your retinas and go blind!

Honestly, I guess I am getting old because there is nothing about this that I don’t find horrific and nauseating. And I myself have several tattoos and have had assorted piercing in my day. Which wow seems like very small potatoes to the body modifiers of today.

I hesitated because I was running late, but doubled back across the street and introduced myself. As it turned out, Krista and her two friends, Ryan and Jake, had recently moved from San Francisco to New York. All of them had tattoos.

Her friend Jake shared his first, but I am deferring that one to a later, more appropriate date (hint: check back on Father's Day).

After seeing Jake's tattoo, I turned to Krista and Ryan. "Who's next?" I asked hopefully.
Fortunately, I didn't get the "Wasn't the one tattoo enough?" attitude.

Krista deferred to Ryan and he offered, with his friend's assistance, this amazing piece:
