Extreme Eyeball Tattoos That Are Full Of Nope!

Getting your eyeball tattoed is starting to become a thing. This extreme body mod only came about around 10 years ago but it has begun to pick up steam and become very popular. It's quite possibly the most extreme body modification that you can buy. Changing your eyes from boring old white is pretty irresistible don't you think?
Just remember that these things are permanent. If you get it done and decide you hate the color later on down the road, you're out of luck. You can't just go and cover it up. Since it's actually your sclera that is tattooed you can't use a colored contact lens to cover it either. Make sure you are ready to have it forever if you get it done. Anyways, let's take a look at some pics of this bizarre trend.
#1
Let's start off with a precautionary tale. Catt Gallinger from Canada got an eyeball tattoo but the procedure was botched. Now she is stuck with blurry vision and purple discharge coming from her eye.
She wanted an eyeball tatt so that she could "feel more at home" in her body, but what she got was a horrible experience that will eventually cost her her vision in that eye.

Tattoo artist, Karan, is widely regarded as the first Indian to get his eyeballs tattooed. He is 28 years old and his Instagram account will shock you.

This man not only covered his entire body with tattoos. He colored his eyes as well. What a guy.

28-year-old Tattooist Chester Lee got his eyes done by Luna Cobra. Cobra is a pretty famous American tattoo artist.

Luna Cobra claims that he is the inventor of modern eyeball tattoos. He experimented on 3 volunteers back in 2007 and a trend was born. The lady below is one of those volunteers.

The reaction you get from the public can range from "omg you're evil" to "wow that's so cool." This form of tattooing has only been around for about ten years so it's considered the last frontier of tattooing. Jay, pictured below, says that one time he was followed around a grocery store by a man who was convinced he was possessed or a real demon.

Joeltron, a body piercing expert, decided to go with a tennis ball green color for his eye when he got the extreme work done.
#8
This guy used to be a former office worker. Then he transformed into a tattoo addict, got 90% of his body covered in ink and got his eyes colored.
In 2014 he changed his name to Tattboy Holden. After a botched procedure back in 2000 left him bed-bound in pain all day and night the 48-year-old was able to find relief in a tattooist's needle. Since then he has spent over 1,000 hours and $90k on various body modifications. Sure the eye tattoos were probably painful but he also has his penis tatted.

Balea The Scarleg is a blogger who also has had work down by the infamous Luna Cobra.

If you don't want to go for the full eye coloring, you can always opt for designs. I'm not sure if it's less painful though. I guess there is only one way to find out.

This guy's deep blue eye tatts look really cool when you combine them with the shade of brown in this guy's iris. Most people go for a contrasting effect with these kinds of tattoos but this guy is doing his own thing.

I hope you're not creeped out by this close-up. The way this guy has offset his natural eye color with the black eye tattoos is stunning. By pulling his eyelid open you can plainly see that the ink goes all the way into the eye socket. If it's done properly you will not see any white in your eyes no matter how wide you open them.
