Girl’s gonna regret this in the morning…

And answer me this: are her eyes going to go purple after a red-eye flight?

Moving swiftly along…

Tattooing your eyeballs is now a real thing. Tattoo artist Luna Cobra started experimenting with this form of body art years ago, originally wanting to “look like the blue-eyed characters from the cult science fiction film, Dune“. He practiced on volunteers (shotgun not volunteering for THAT).

His technique, which he has modified over the years, involves injecting pigment directly into the eyeball so it rests under the eye’s thin top layer, or conjunctiva.

The good news is that a “single small injection has enough ink to cover about a quarter of the eye” so you only have to have a few needles within extremely close proximity to your face. Blergh.

Luna Cobra says he urges young people to wait until they have a job before getting a black eyeball tattoo, because otherwise they may never get hired.

Well, at least he is slightly responsible.

I shall leave you with these great examples so you can make your own decision. Just good luck telling mum and dad.
