Feb 28 2008Eyeball Tattoos Give Me The Heebie Jeebies

i'm so sorry i clicked on this link.

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?

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

@ 5. I gotta admit, if I saw someone who I knew had taken 40 shots to the eye, I wouldn't fuck 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.

Thats awesome, give me one of those.

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.

For 'extensively researched' read 'injected into the eyes of laboratory rabbits'. This is disgraceful.

He who controls the spice...

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...

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.

this is the most disturbing feature the geekologie people ever did.

#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.

pauly has a lot of strange and great mods...one of the weirder ones is a 1 1/2" trans-scrotal piercing. yup

Who wants to make the blue [eye] balls comment?

why is he tattooing the white part of his eye? shouldn't he be doing his pupils?

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...

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.

Is it just me, or is this completely stupid?

hahaha I love your comments....

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.

I think I'm going to vomit. P.S. - Thanks AntiClown for posting it AGAIN on The Superficial so that I could vomit twice.

WTF...

Pauly's not from Toronto, either. Shannon currently is.

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".

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrgggggg!!!!!

this is old news. read about it months ago

Why would anyone do that to themselves? Yuck!

FUCKING OW!!!

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".

like in Dune?

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...

@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...

what next? organ tattoos? that'll be a nice surprise to the coroner.
"Hmm.. his heart says "Fuck You, Poking Around in My Insides!"

@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".

this is old
like really old news
like last year
he did this
he rules
he breaks the rules constantly
largest nostral stretchings and his ears are massive
he rules

Haven't You Ever Heard About The Halocaust.
& Dr Mengler's Children, Google It. He'd Inject Kids Eyes With
Dye To See If Could Change The Color =/

don't we have contact lenses now?

eye see what he did there.

if given a choice, i'd go with eye jewelry instead

I actually know him. He doesn't live in Toronto. He went to school about 10 miles from where I live...

This guy is a fag

Hey Dave couchenhour.... ur an asshole

HAHAHA THAT IS FUCKIN BRUTAL! YEA I'M PRETTY SURE THAT I'M GOING TO NEED ME A PINK EYE TATTOO ASAP! FUCK YES PLEASE!

First of all i love little girls
Next,.. this guy truly is an idiot
I work with couchenhour, he has a huge nose
my daughter is a disco bitch

your all a bunch of pussies, ill fuck all of your mothers while you watch and cry! then ill make her and you both eat my shit!

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 fuck 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

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.

i think that shit is werid and crazy that's why i love it.

I'm sick now. Thanks Mr. Unstoppable!

That is fucking NARLEY dude where do I sign!!!

why
i guess if you did it for yourself then
RIGHT ON MAN
but if its for attention then
FUCK YOU BURN IN HELL
but either way the real question is
why blue?

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.

THE SLEEPER HAS AWAKENED

Yall people who do dat shit are stupid.

uhhh this is not illegal in georgia and it seems cool and all but way way to crazy for me xD hahah
