When I heard about this woman and her eyeball tattoo gone wrong, all I could think of was this really old post.
I guess this woman is really into body modification, i.e. adding and subtracting things from her body just for fun. She’s even had her tongue surgically split. Yeesh! So she thought tattooing the sclera of her eyeball was the next big thing she should try.
The problem was she didn’t realize how risky it would be, and that not everybody should be allowed near her eyeball with a needle. Allow this sentence to run through your head for a moment.
It was deduced that the artist had made a series of mistakes, including over-injecting her eye, failing to dilute the ink with saline, using a needle that was too big and going too deep into the eye.
Those are some big mistakes that could prove rather costly. At best, she could have vision problems for the rest of her life. At worst, they might have to remove the eye because the ink could start an inexorable march toward her brain. Yeah, this sounds like a good idea!
*shiver*. There are people who need injections in their eyes for medical reasons. I cannot understand why someone would voluntarily go for them just to make their eyes look different or something. And, if you did, for the love of Pete, pick someone who knows what they’re doing!
Every time I write one of these, there’s a tiny voice that wonders if some day I’ll do something that warrants one of these posts to be written about me. I guess if it happens, I’ll deserve it. Until then, I’ll shiver at the thought of what people will do to their bodies just for looks. Eek.
Sorry to use your post as a bit of a testing ground, but let’s see what this does. As for what this is, there’ll be much fanfare and ballyhoo should it work as intended.
By the way, eyeball tattoos are stupid and the people who let someone give them one are probably stupid too.
You bet about the fanfare and ballyhoo. Let’s also see what this does.
We are a step closer to ballyhoo. Respond to this comment in the super secret way, if such is allowed.
Super secret? It isn’t, if you get an email.
I got an email. This is good. Wonder why you have to click that link, though. Or maybe you don’t and I’m being premature. It’s probably that.
It appears that either method works, although it seems the thing takes a little bit to actually put the comments up or email them to you. But maybe that’s it figuring out if it needs to start making a digest for us chatty fools.
I think this just might work and be what we’ve been looking for since the day Echo decided to dink us over. Woo!
Maybe it is more super secret than I thought. Slightly less ballyhoo, but still ballyhoo-worthy.
