Getting a tattoo is the exact opposite of trying to avoid detection, whether it's from scanners or people. I wonder when or if there will be a fad to all look exactly like the same small group of people. That is, surgically having yourself modified to look like maybe one or two of the same person. Removing all distinguishing characteristics so you can perfectly blend into the crowed as a completely generic person. Like this guy. The computer generated, statistically average guy:

sounds like a fad only a chipped generation would buy into.

Some people are so stupid. Just looking at the after pictures and I was kinda hoping he eventually went blind.

It said in one of the comments that, after the procedure the patient rejected the ink and was losing the eye sight.

So I wonder if is any reliable follow up links.

Not likely. One of the guys who had it done has had his eye start to reject the ink and it's not looking pretty.

Ow! That makes me hurt in my happy place! I'm hesitant to even get Lasik and that's an established practice. Don't screw with your eyes! They have yet to figure out how to replace them if you break them!

2 things....


1) It doesnt even seem like its worth it. It looks just like a blob. But I understand other people enjoy the uniqueness of it, so thats not my main concern.

2) I dont have a tattoo (although I plan on getting one real soon ) Anyway, but would the ink prevent them from seeing at all? As in would it block their peripheral vision?

All light enters the pupil. Besides the inflammation or immune response, or the the person stabbing themselves in the eye with their toothbrush because they're so incredibly stupid, no there should be no risk to vision.

His goal is an entirely blue sclera. While I'm sure it would look cool... ug... no... bad.

Oh okay. Thanks for the insight.


I gotta agree, the "blue eye" isnt something the girls will be flocking to him for...

ewww....ouchie.....I see in some links that this is/was done to fix defects such as a person with a cloudy eye. Not the main stream now with contacts and things.

Here's eye implants:

well, thats somewhat better than a blue eye i suppose

First of all, anyone who tells you a tattoo doesn't hurt is a liar, its the amount of pain you want to feel usually dictates the size of the tattoo, newbies prob will get a small one.

There will be huge money in this eye tattooing if they can get it to work, its like one of the unexplored regions of the tattoo world and as all other regions is worth just as much as discovering oil in your back yard, i have quite a few tattoo's but i doubt i would go this far.

Thanks for the update, it looks like the needle puncture is becoming ulcerated and that is not a good sign in the eye.
