Getting an Eye Tattoo

Eye tattoo is something unusual within tattoo art and its techniques. The procedure is highly peculiar and includes injecting ink into the white part of your eyeball with a syringe so that the ink would spread under your eye’s cornea, which will give coloring to your eye.

The reason for getting an eye tattoo may be some kind of trauma. So the tat may hide its aftereffects. However, it’s not a mere cosmetic procedure; it is connected with high risks and complications like blindness, infection and scars, so you need to consult your doctor before deciding for the thing.

Getting a perfect eye tattoo is problematic as ink flows over the sclera and doesn’t give smooth and even coloring. Several injections are needed to make it even and nice, and it’s not always possible to calculate the right layer. The ink may even run out of the injection hole.

Getting an Eye Tattoo

On the positive side, getting an eye tattoo is practically pain-free as compared to standard tattoos done on a skin surface. There’re no nerve ending in sclera, that’s why you won’t almost any feel pain, you can only feel discomfort. But still you need to use lidocaine drops for numbering the lids before tattooing while after it you’ll have to apply antibiotic drops and a patch.

So getting an eye tattoo is extremely risky but it can help you mask any eye imperfections caused by traumas. The usual color for an eye tattoo is blue or white as well as you can have the real tattoo done on your eyeball, but that’s much more difficult.
