Feb 28 2008Eyeball Tattoos Give Me The Heebie Jeebies

A Toronto man nicknamed Pauly Unstoppable has been the first person to receive an experimental "eyeball tattoo". Basically a tattoo artist injected blue ink into Pauly's eye until it was completely blue -- some 40+ injections! Holy hellfire, shit and brimstone that is freaking nuts. Pauly had the following to say about the experience:
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.
Nice Mr. Unstoppable, nice. You are truly a testament to the strength of the human spirit. Willing to chance blindness for the sake of, uh, blue eyeballs. I was going to use an inkjet refill syringe to give my own eyes a little color, but I'll hold off until the experiments are complete.

Don't Look! Don't Look! Yep, It's an Eyeball Tattoo [asylum]

is this really necessary? is it? i love tattoos and have a bunch, but that is just stupid.
whatever happened to good old tattoos on your skin?
3. blp - February 28, 2008 11:08 AM
I wish I hadn't clicked too. ewww, that's just plain wrong! I thought guys that pierced holes through their penis were nuts but this just about beats it.

That reminds me of the day I got my first tatoo.. a drunkard who still managed to speak fairly cleary asked the guy at the desk if he would tattoo "the eye of [his] white ball". Took the artist a while before he realized the guy wanted his eyeball tattooed, and mercifully he declined.

what a Douche!!!! pauly your a retard i bet you think this makes you look Tough
6. Skeps - February 28, 2008 12:59 PM
@ 5. I gotta admit, if I saw someone who I knew had taken 40 shots to the eye, I wouldn't f*** with him

This is illegal in Georgia: OCGA 16-12-5.

Pauly was one of three people to do this.
The quote is from Shannon Laratt, one of the three, who runs BMEzine.com.
He has several entries about the tattoos on the BME blog:

If you search modblog for "eyeball" you'll find more.
9. fredsdead - February 28, 2008 1:23 PM
Thats awesome, give me one of those.
10. .Ben - February 28, 2008 1:44 PM
What is it with this place ripping ModBlog / BME?
And "Going blind" is bull crap.
None of the three who did it suffered any loss in vision, because of where the tattoo was placed.
11. JS - February 28, 2008 1:57 PM
For 'extensively researched' read 'injected into the eyes of laboratory rabbits'. This is disgraceful.
12. Paul Atreides - February 28, 2008 2:53 PM
He who controls the spice...
13. Vila - February 28, 2008 5:36 PM
Huh... looks like the extensive research they did was actually read up on historical medical data, no mention of animal studies (who in the world would pay for that? Not punks, most of us like animals and want to keep them away from this stuff. Maybe a dye job on their coats...) but if you search it on the internet there was a procedure used for tattooing the eyes of the (already blind) to correct the look of the eyes, and for other reasons (not too clear, but the people weren't blind)
I'd never get my eye "tattooed" tho - it looks more like they are just filling your conjunctiva with dye, and I'd be more worried about the effects of intra-optic pressure on the nerves - like, seriously, I'd be worried about headaches. And it doesn't look clearly delineated, if they came out of it looking like they were on the spice that'd be one thing, but it just looks like their kid came after them with a crayon. Hum...
14. monica - February 28, 2008 5:40 PM
I think some of them possibly had plans to continue with the procedure in the future as they were indeed hoping to color all of the white blue eventually... but I could be wrong. Tattooing eyeballs is indeed not new and has been done for medical reasons for a long time now. And honestly, what makes sticking needles into any one part of your body compared to another "stupider"? Just because I dislike the idea of needles in my eyeball doesn't make someone who chooses to do it stupid.
15. mimang - February 28, 2008 7:43 PM
this is the most disturbing feature the geekologie people ever did.
16. guate6 - February 28, 2008 9:17 PM
#14: "what makes sticking needles into any one part of your body compared to another 'stupider' ?" Um, well let's see...eyeball: crucial, non-replaceable, sensitive, easily damaged, you only have two. Skin: replaces itself, less sensitive, has been done for centuries, less dangerous, replaceable (grafts).
"...doesn't make someone who chooses to do it stupid." Um, yeah it does. If you were asked why you wouldn't do it, a valid answer you'd give might read: "Because I wouldn't ever do anything that stupid."
I myself too think the procedure is stupid...Though those performing it are probably going to start making some good money if it succeeds. I do think it may be a contributing factor to glaucoma and elevated ocular blood pressure...but we shall see.
17. farming cacti - February 28, 2008 10:06 PM
pauly has a lot of strange and great mods...one of the weirder ones is a 1 1/2" trans-scrotal piercing. yup
18. Joe - February 28, 2008 11:04 PM
Who wants to make the blue [eye] balls comment?
19. russell - February 29, 2008 3:33 AM
why is he tattooing the white part of his eye? shouldn't he be doing his pupils?
20. OLGA____NAPLES - February 29, 2008 5:06 AM
here is the final result: http://www.technovelgy.com/graphics/content07/eyeball-tattoo-final.jpg it sucksssss Gosh how can someone do that?????SHOULD BE UNLEGAL!!!!!!!!!!!!GOD HELP HIM...
21. laz - February 29, 2008 5:09 AM
well after checking with the BME sites, seems like there haven't been any complications - even doctors reckoning that it's ok. so, yeah, whatever floats your boat i guess.
not for me though, my gf licked my eyeball the other day and i was freaked out for a good few minutes.
22. Alexko - February 29, 2008 7:30 AM
Is it just me, or is this completely stupid?
23. Holly - February 29, 2008 8:40 AM
hahaha I love your comments....
24. Jen - February 29, 2008 9:33 AM
Pauly's not from Toronto. He's also not the "first" since there were several people getting tattooed that day. Looks like someone's already pointed that out. Check out ModBlog and BMEzine for the actual facts.
25. TetterkeT - February 29, 2008 10:06 AM
I think I'm going to vomit. P.S. - Thanks AntiClown for posting it AGAIN on The Superficial so that I could vomit twice.
26. Baibe - February 29, 2008 10:18 AM
WTF...
27. Kate - February 29, 2008 10:50 AM
Pauly's not from Toronto, either. Shannon currently is.
28. Bambi - February 29, 2008 11:25 AM
Ewww, what an idiot. He deserves to go blind for that.. people all over the world are losing their sight and there's nothing they can do about it and this guy risks it just to have blue eyes?
This totally changes my perspective on "blue balls".
29. Zel - February 29, 2008 12:09 PM
aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrgggggg!!!!!
30. fuckface - February 29, 2008 12:24 PM

F***ING OW!!!
33. Chris - February 29, 2008 3:36 PM
What, people are so F'ing bored with life they gotta do shit like this? God do we have it easy in this country. A large part of the rest of the world is busy just trying to survive. Psychologically, this guy must have a giant hole he's trying to fill if he's that desperate to try to either look that "tough" or be that "different".
34. lee - February 29, 2008 6:23 PM
like in Dune?
35. shokroklove - February 29, 2008 7:24 PM
i love pauly! his mods are awesome, i'm glad hes the first one to have the first completely tattooed eyeball, but ive seen tattoos on peoples eyeballs well before Pauly did it...
36. matt - February 29, 2008 7:54 PM
@19 - Are you serious? Please tell me you didn't sleep through the entire eyeball section of Biology... The pupil is a gaping hole in the middle of your eye. Pretty sure if you fill it in, you would be seeing either a. Nothing, or b. Blue tint on e everything around. Me, I would do it, only black, because my eyes are ungodly blue anyhow. I think it would look sweet....but I dunno. Needles in the eye kinda scare me... I have body mods a lot of other places, and tons of tats, but a needle in the eye is just a tad unsettling for me...
37. Arguman - March 1, 2008 6:07 AM
what next? organ tattoos? that'll be a nice surprise to the coroner.

@20 - It's amusing how you think that's somehow the "final result" but then again everything in this post is wrong so it doesn't surprise me that commenters are also posting incorrect "facts".
40. catherine - March 1, 2008 9:03 PM

52. Dannielle - March 23, 2008 7:57 AM
okai, so its a lil strange but at the end of the day he can do what he wants right? btw why are you all offendin each other? Dave Chapman, what the hell are you on about? stop being such idiots and just keep your opinions to the stuff on here not bout whether or not you f*** our mums. so shut up you guys and stop being such dicks. thanks. btw i am 13 i shouldnt have to be saying this to middle age people
53. Holly - March 24, 2008 12:01 AM
First of all, I think it's crazy and painful. But, hey, it's your body...do whacha gotta do. As for DAVE COUCHENHOUR? You can't be a principal cuz you sound too immature to be a man. DAVE CHAPMAN? Same goes for you. You both are sick and practically admitting to being child molesters. You ever come near my little girl, you won't have anything to screw with. I'll rip it off!! I'd like to see you try to screw my mom & make us eat your shit. I'm no prissy, little woman. You would be the one in tears...or dead. I can promise you that! I'd be doing the world a great service.
54. deedee - April 2, 2008 11:29 AM

why
i guess if you did it for yourself then
RIGHT ON MAN
but if its for attention then
F*** YOU BURN IN HELL
but either way the real question is
why blue?
58. Dr. H.R. Lilchen - April 14, 2008 11:48 AM
An eyeball is inflated. If it is punctured, it will deflate slowly. The eyeball will in time become noticably smaller than the other one. This prevents sight, the wearing of contact lenses and having a normal looking face.

72. René - January 3, 2009 7:51 AM
about 7 years ago I have also tattooed my eye(the retina) because it was, after an accident, totally white.
And after 5 series of a hour they made it look very well. So in Holland are more people who have tatooed eyes.
