How About Tattooing an Entire Eye? Health Treating Skin Problems Can sandpaper remove tattoos? Health Pregnancy Issues Can you get a tattoo if you're pregnant? Health Postpartum Care Can you get a tattoo if you're breast-feeding? First and foremost, I, Luna Cobra, am the inventor of eyeball, or sclera, tattooing tattooing the white of the eye in a solid or mix of colours. I first attempted the procedure on sighted human eyeballs in on three well-informed and consenting parties.
Since then, I have fine-tuned both the technique and materials to increase the safety and minimize the risks of tattooing the eyeball. There are still risks involved, of course, but in the 8 years I have been performing this procedure, all my clients are all still ok. Secondly, I personally have not trained anyone else to do this procedure.
This is important to know because without the proper education, training, experience and guidance, these practitioners have caused vision impairments like blurred vision, spots or floaters, and even blindness. The practice of tattooing the sclera or the cornea mostly the cornea, over the iris of the eye stretches back to at least the first century A.
Permanent colouring of unsightly corneal scars has been known for almost years. During the final decade of the 19th and the first decades of the 20th century it was a commonly applied technique. Owing to the tremendous progress in microsurgical reconstructive procedures, corneal tattooing today will only apply for a minor and carefully selected group of patients.
However, the procedure of coloring the whites of the eyes for elective cosmetic purposes has gained ground since Luna Cobra apparently developed it. Contaminated, counterfeit or ill-fitting lenses can cause their own blinding eye problems.
Catt Gallinger knew something was wrong with her eyeball tattoo as soon as it was done. News outlets around the world reported on her story after she shared it on Facebook in September She had immediate pain, and purple liquid started oozing out of her eye, before she rushed to the hospital for treatment. According to Gallinger's Facebook post , the person performing her scleral tattoo made multiple mistakes.
Newsweek reports that the procedure has left her with reduced vision, clumps of tattoo ink around her cornea and ongoing pain. A year-old man underwent an eyeball tattoo procedure and experienced a sudden, painful loss of vision while the tattoo artist was injecting ink into the first eye. According to a video presentation of the case by Drs. Freund and Greve, the ink had been injected too deep, into the vitreous humor in the middle of the eye.
The patient sought treatment three days after the tattoo procedure. Freund and Greve removed the vitreous and the lens of the eye. The lens had been damaged by the needle during the tattoo procedure. The doctors discovered that the mixture of vitreous and tattoo ink was contaminated with bacteria. Two surgeries and multiple procedures to deliver antibiotics were done to try to control the infection and complications from the tattoo procedure.
