  • animeorb, on 02/28/2008, -3/+24Oww that got to hurt, I wondeer if he will be able to see right when it heals?
    • SteelFrog, on 02/28/2008, -10/+1I really can't imagine how he would retain his original vision. I mean, he's got ink permanently dropped in his eye.
    • Seren2399, on 02/28/2008, -12/+44The cornea (the white part of the eye) doesn't cause you to see; that is only the pupil. It most likely won't affect his vision, but it can affect the health of his cornea. And his social life >.>
      • LoudNoise, on 02/28/2008, -0/+21The cornea isn't the white part of the eye.
        • MacEnvy, on 02/28/2008, -0/+15True, the white part is the "sclera". The cornea is the transparent membrane over the pupil and iris.
        • appletalk, on 02/28/2008, -30/+6@MacEnvy
          We all can use Wikipedia. Thanks
          • Godlike, on 02/28/2008, -5/+38But we all didn't have to, because he did, you *****.
        • Razyael, on 02/28/2008, -1/+5@appletalk
          All of us but the OP, apparently.
      • lsatkins, on 02/28/2008, -0/+2In the last picture it looks like his whole eye is blue including the pupil. Wish they had a shot of it all healed up.
      • gimlik, on 02/28/2008, -1/+12Seren2399, coming from someone who has had 3 eye surgeries, including a cornea transplant, I'd kindly ask you to shut up. You have absolutely no idea what you are talking about. The SLIGHTEST change in your cornea will cause vision problems.
      • SiliconRain, on 02/28/2008, -0/+6I can't believe you made +29 diggs with that bollocks -

        1 - As loudnoise said, the cornea is not the white part
        2 - Your pupils don't cause you to see; it's just a gap in your iris.
        3 - As gimlik said, small changes to any part of your eye can impair your vision.

        Don't mouth off when all you're doing is spreading ignorance.
    • jeffreyan12, on 02/28/2008, -0/+2wonder how much more it would hurt to have it removed
      • mindspaceindia, on 02/28/2008, -0/+8If he's getting his girlfriend's name tattooed, he could be in for some pain.
        And also I love how "SQUEAMISH readers might want to look away now as we unveil the world's first ever EYEBALL TATTOO." is written right NEXT to the extra large picture. Thanks for the heads up buddy.

    • MCCULLAH, on 02/28/2008, -4/+2what the hell was he inking?
    • spineaches, on 02/28/2008, -0/+2actually since the surface of your eye doesnt have any nerve endings, its not a very painful procedure.
      not that im planning on doing it
    • dbxz, on 02/28/2008, -0/+2ever hear of a ***** blue contact lens... what a moron... ouch!
  • WalkingAway, on 02/28/2008, -28/+3Dugg and shared

  • GemStar38, on 02/28/2008, -3/+55Am I the only one who was grossed out by his blue eye and the globs of ink?
    • HeyLew, on 02/28/2008, -2/+2i thought the commentary was kind of funny, BE WARE, this may be graphic! .... its jsut is eye with a needle and some blue paint... not like blood splattered all over his face :)
    • Kyora, on 02/28/2008, -1/+1No, you're not. D:
    • darkgreystar, on 02/28/2008, -0/+0It seems like it would burn.
    • Ohimesama, on 02/29/2008, -0/+1I was grossed out by the nasty dirt crusted finger nails in picture 3 of the slide show.
  • Narcism, on 02/28/2008, -17/+9Buried because I don't want to see that picture anywhere on my digg homepage.
    I'm not normally squeamish but this picture does it. disgusting.
  • joebaloney, on 02/28/2008, -2/+72They never have a picture of the finished tattoo? Did it not turn out too well?
  • SirZRX, on 02/28/2008, -2/+29WTF?
  • Procure, on 02/28/2008, -0/+3This is probably not a good idea... Well, when in rome
    • yoshman, on 02/28/2008, -1/+1"Yes? Please go on."
      "Uh, do as the Romans do? It's an old expression."
      • obliviousfool, on 02/28/2008, -1/+5I believe it's "When in Rome, do some Romans."
      • Dokument, on 02/28/2008, -0/+3actually i think it was a quote from anchorman.
    • HeyLew, on 02/28/2008, -2/+1i forget what thats from?
  • souljaboytellem, on 02/28/2008, -5/+4huh another way to express yourself by covering your body in ink, that's like wearing giant beltbuckles
  • borez, on 02/28/2008, -6/+122What an Idiot
  • NSResponder, on 02/28/2008, -11/+56What a stupid *****.

    -jcr

    • SuperCow1127, on 02/28/2008, -2/+11Why do you always write a closing tag on your posts?
      • timusca, on 02/28/2008, -0/+12Cuz he's cool like that.
        • ThankTheCheese, on 02/28/2008, -1/+18cool like a guy with a blue eye.
      • mattwalton56, on 02/28/2008, -0/+3He want to be like -Pie or whatever the hell his name is.
      • NSResponder, on 02/28/2008, -6/+2Because I want to.

        -jcr
        • Disease, on 02/29/2008, -1/+5It's a waste of my pixels.
          • NSResponder, on 02/29/2008, -3/+1Then don't read my comments. Nobody's got a gun to your head.

            -jcr
          • jus1haz2, on 02/29/2008, -1/+1Jamies got a gun...
  • ablacksunrise, on 02/28/2008, -7/+2Buried, I'm fine at seeing most things, but eyes are just... ugh...

    http://img.thesun.co.uk/multimedia/archive/00443/e ...
  • JHaze, on 02/28/2008, -2/+3What on earth would make someone do that?
    40 needle insertions!? Gross.
  • spuncoke, on 02/28/2008, -5/+5I love it
  • justoffthecoast, on 02/28/2008, -10/+10Dugg for the balls it would take to do this.
    • arcangelgabriel, on 02/28/2008, -2/+19Balls and stupidity are old friends.
    • MacParrot, on 02/28/2008, -3/+6Famous last words...
      "Guys! Check THIS out!"
    • pax85, on 02/28/2008, -1/+6Huh? It just takes one ball! One eyeball!
  • kabbalahdigg, on 02/28/2008, -9/+8nothing new, buried
    • sn0t, on 02/28/2008, -1/+0Nothing new? I specifically remember seeing 'worlds first' in the story. Even if it's not the worlds first, it's still new.
      • brianara3, on 02/28/2008, -0/+1I remember seeing this from at least a year ago... old news.
      • spineaches, on 02/28/2008, -0/+1while it is relatively new, this has been going on for at least year.
    • cheddamash, on 02/28/2008, -0/+1I'm pretty sure he buried it because it was already posted to Digg last year... http://digg.com/search?section=all&s=eye+tattoo
  • skyfyre, on 02/28/2008, -5/+43Read: ***** idiot.
  • shotmenot, on 02/28/2008, -0/+25Here are some more images and follow ups

    Another person tried with pink

    • borez, on 02/28/2008, -1/+11Wow that looks brilliant

      /sarc

    • TooHotty, on 02/28/2008, -0/+13Pink. Wow. I know I'd love a tattoo that makes it look like I have a contagious disease. (Thanks for sharing, btw.)
    • Hoogs, on 02/28/2008, -0/+4Looks to me like the procedure failed. What a loser.
    • timewarp424, on 02/28/2008, -0/+3Shucks, I've always wanted to be the first with a blue blob tattoo.
    • Dexter77, on 02/28/2008, -0/+4WTF. I thought an operation like this would be done in a hospital, but the second link shows a rugged tatooist puncturing guys eye with tatooing needle. Darwin awards, here we come!
  • chil2c5, on 02/28/2008, -1/+22Stilgar, do we have wormsign?
    Usul, we have wormsign the likes of which even God has never seen.
  • Lephtovermeet, on 02/28/2008, -9/+15guy: hey dude, I want a tattoo on my eyeball
    artist: okay well I can draw a skull or kermit the frog
    guy: no thats okay just make it blue
    artist: okay well I'm going to go ahead and draw kermit the frog then.
    • NathanielJ, on 02/28/2008, -2/+7Dear Digg users: If you don't know a quote, please don't post your horribly distorted and ruined version of it.
  • dizturbd2, on 02/28/2008, -0/+4Dugg for making my eyes water profusely and providing the topic of conversation this morning in my office. Dumb as hell, however. To each his own....
  • starcros, on 02/28/2008, -0/+1This has been around awhile now it may be new in England but people in the US have been doing this for some time. CSI has even had an episode the had people getting eye tatts.
  • corstar, on 02/28/2008, -2/+23How low does your self esteem have to be to resort to this. Why do you need this, what's the practical use?
    Why risk loosing your sight over such vanity?
    I'm baffled....
    • timusca, on 02/28/2008, -2/+1What practical use do any tattoos have? He did it to be the first to get it... simple.
    • BESTenemy, on 02/28/2008, -0/+3There are many useful tattoos, such as that of the periodic table, or one for measuring lengths. Both were featured in Digg at least twice.
  • caffiend, on 02/28/2008, -0/+13I'd be more scared of that person's nasty fingers holding my eye open than of the needle itself.
    • mcse2k3, on 02/28/2008, -2/+1He has gloves on dude...
      • BECoole, on 02/28/2008, -0/+4You missed a pic. See the slideshow.
    • gmiley, on 02/28/2008, -0/+8Those fingernails are disgusting. I carry a small set of clippers and am constantly cleaning and slightly trimming my fingernails. Then again, that may just be my little OCD habit, but I can't stand dirty fingernails.
    • Branyers, on 02/28/2008, -0/+1Anyone working with needles needs to be at least moderately hygienic. Hepatitis anyone?
    • flash84x, on 02/28/2008, -0/+1My thought exactly, I was more disgusted by that dudes fingernails than the procedure.
  • craigtmackenzie, on 02/28/2008, -0/+8INACCURATE: http://modblog.bmezine.com/index.php?s=conjunctiva plus many others before him. ***** sun newspaper.
    • spineaches, on 02/28/2008, -0/+1oh good you found it, i wus searching but..
      SO THERE EVERYONE.
  • Murple, on 02/28/2008, -1/+5I'm not sure about the pictures of just the eye, but the full face shot isn't Pauly Unstoppable, it was Shannon Larratt, one of the founders of BME. Pauly has giant stretched nose piercings. If I remember correctly Shannon, Pauly and a third person decided to experiment with ink injections as a method of tattooing the eye. This is not the first time an eye has been tattooed. Doctors have been using tattoos to correct problems with the way damaged eyes appear for a long time.
    • locodude, on 02/28/2008, -0/+1All of the pictures are of Shannon Larratt. They were stolen off of one of his blogs where he published them months and months ago.
  • fullstop102, on 02/28/2008, -2/+4This is old news....
  • TerrapinRangler, on 02/28/2008, -0/+14He added: "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..."

    And who obviously were too busy to wash their hands and clean their filthy fingernails.
  • FadieZ, on 02/28/2008, -0/+7What a dumbass.
  • ecshome, on 02/28/2008, -0/+1That is going to far. What kind of tatto artist is like, "Yeah, Sure, I can do that. No problem, sit right down. You did bring cash right? Here, sign this."
    • SoupsMan, on 02/28/2008, -0/+2You do know this is the Sun, right? If you don't know what that is, just look at the National Inquirer. Or look up the word Tabloid. or Fake.
  • mcse2k3, on 02/28/2008, -1/+7That guy's a ***** idiot!
  • kr0k, on 02/28/2008, -0/+3"A little guy that lives in a blue world and all day and all night and everything he sees is just blue.."
  • Misinformant, on 02/28/2008, -0/+7Imbecile voluntarily blinds himself. More at 11.
  • phoenixp3k, on 02/28/2008, -0/+3I guess decorative contact lenses weren't enought
  • HenvY, on 02/28/2008, -0/+2What the hell is it a tattoo of?
    • mineworker, on 02/28/2008, -0/+4An ink blob.
      • mikeopubco, on 02/28/2008, -1/+2A ballpoint pen ink stain? I'm at a loss as to why you'd want a blob of ink in your eye.
    • amishterrarium, on 02/28/2008, -0/+2It's a Rorschach test. YOU tell ME what the tattoo is of.
    • Azuroth, on 02/28/2008, -0/+3The spice must flow.
  • Grimdotdotdot, on 02/28/2008, -2/+2"Brave Pauly said he had full confidence in the team working on him - but urged people not to try it at home."
    NO ***** *****, SHERLOCK!
  • trezegol, on 02/28/2008, -0/+4and I thought putting my contact lenses in was weird.
  • alexandrend, on 02/28/2008, -1/+7I'm not sure about what disturbs me more. The blue eyes or the black nails in the 3rd picture.
    WTF.
  • Velnich, on 02/28/2008, -0/+5Seeing the blue eye, the markings on his forhead... why do I think of battlefield earth?
  • stupidStan, on 02/28/2008, -0/+25good, this makes it easier to spot idiots
  • Etchii, on 02/28/2008, -5/+2He should get steel balls tattooed, because he certainly has them.


    • michaelGregoire, on 02/28/2008, -0/+5No, it doesn't take steel balls to be an idiot.
  • BECoole, on 02/28/2008, -0/+2I wonder when they'll find out that the chemicals they used were toxic?
  • jimmyclyde, on 02/28/2008, -0/+19The spice must flow.
    • ghrayfahx, on 02/28/2008, -0/+2I'm glad I'm not the only one who thought this. Man, I'm a Dune Geek!
    • dustinwag, on 02/28/2008, -1/+0Dune has already been referenced above. Please don't turn this comments section into a Dune quote page.
      • Aidje, on 02/28/2008, -0/+2Yeah, but jimmyclyde did a far better job of it.
  • deesleng, on 02/28/2008, -0/+4echo those who called this individual a ***** idiot
  • wafflesomd, on 02/28/2008, -0/+1Pretty sure he didn't feel much at all.
  • iamtodd, on 02/28/2008, -5/+0He can now join the Blue man Group : D and sing that song hmm EIFFEL 65 - Blue (Da Ba De)

    haa
  • nexus37, on 02/28/2008, -0/+0Begs the question: why?
  • SpyDerMann, on 02/28/2008, -0/+1Look at it this way. If it doesn't work, he'll have a wonderful eye patch, yarr!!!
