Some associations have taken a stance against the practice. Most tattooists don’t consider them to be practical or appealing.” “I certainly wouldn’t perform one,” says tattoo artist and piercer Rachel Lutz with Wizard’s World of Tattoos, Stowe, PA, USA, “and I would strongly advise against it. Many tattoo artists also wouldn’t be willing to offer it to their customers. I suspect they never went on to administer post-op antibiotic drops to prevent infection – but how could they, when they’re not legally allowed to prescribe anything? Overall, these are unethical tattoo artists not properly respecting their training boundaries, and realizing that they are not doctors, much less eye surgeons.” The video of the procedure shows many lapses in sterile technique – even the gloves that are used look cheap and non-sterile. They have received zero training in performing eye surgery, so do not understand the potential complications of doing so – including blindness – or even how to avoid or manage such complications. Chynn believes that no one but a specifically trained ophthalmologist should be tattooing the eye, stating that, “In the US, it would probably be a crime if a tattoo artist tried to tattoo someone’s eyeball, including the cornea or sclera. Scleral tattooing dates back to 2007 (4) and is an entirely cosmetic procedure that involves injecting ink into the sclera, in order to dye it whatever color the person wants (4). “Patients tell me that tattooing an artificial iris onto their cornea can be life-changing, both in terms of visual function – no more debilitating glare – and also in terms of appearance.” There are genuine therapeutic reasons for tattooing certain parts of the ocular anatomy – for example, “corneal tattoos are sometimes performed on patients with aniridia or who have had a penetrating injury that damaged their iris”, says Emil Chynn, owner of Park Avenue SafeSight in New York City, and an ophthalmologist who has been featured on the Discovery Channel performing corneal tattoos (bit.ly/chynnDC). But are people risking blindness for an edgy look? He’s not the only one – it’s being reported that it’s becoming a popular procedure amongst rappers, body modification enthusiasts and even prison inmates (2, 3) and videos of the procedure are already hitting YouTube (bit.ly/eyetats). As one headline stated, he was “hospitalized after tattooing his EYEBALL black” (1). And feelings of roast.Last month, widespread media coverage was devoted to the Brooklyn-based rapper, Mace. So ummm… I’ma let y’all say whatchu gotta say because I know you got thoughts.

By the time she’s 80, her butt is gonna look like a sack of black beans. It’s an epic fail! She’s about to grow old, gray and wrinkled with an ass that has fake panties tatted on it. This tattoo artist musta trained at the Everest College for Tattoo Artists Who Weren’t Good Enough To Make It.” Not only is the tattoo a bad choice for permanent body content, but it’s also terribly done. I mean, it’s her body but still… NAWL.Īlso, who was the tattoo artist that agreed to this? He/she must have NO damb artistic integrity. Mad that your dumbass made this piss poor decision. What kinda crap is this? Who told her this was a good idea? I bet you she was like “yo, this finna be so RAW. When you were being breastfed, your mama never thought you’d one day deface your body with ink panties bearing the trademarked logo of a luxury brand. When your mama gave birth to you, her dream for you was the opposite of this picture. Coco Chanel ain’t die and leave us No.5 for dummies to tattoo her emblem on their yanshes! She sho’ll did not! Single Black female addicted to retail took Kanye’s line too seriously and showed her addiction through this tattoo in the most tacky way possible. This chile went and got a tattoo of pannie drawls.
