I know of a person who got it done 10 years ago and he still has it. It needs to be done gradually and that s why mine was done over a period of 2-4 days. Once the ink is injected, it spreads slowly inside the eye. What do you think went wrong?Īccording to me, the tattoo artist must have overfilled her scleral membrane with the dye. Recently, there were reports of a Canadian model becoming blind in one eye because her eyeball tattoo went wrong. The burning sensation lasted for a week and my eyes were swollen for sometime. For a few days after the eyeball tattoo, I had to wear sunglasses and keep my eyes protected from the sun. Right now my eyesight is completely normal. What s the status of your eyes now? What aftercare did you have to follow? #TattoographerKaran #King #FirstIndian to do the #BlackEyes #ScleraTattoo #Scifi #Movies #Character #Power #Vision #Art #Artist #bodymods #bodymodification #tattoos #piercings #men #mensfashion #statement #insta #instagramĪ post shared by TATTOOGRAPHER KARAN ~ 'KING' on at 4:11am PDT There were times when I felt like squeezing my eyes shut and I had the burning sensation but I didn t flinch.ĭecide & never look back, invest unlimited efforts & be #Unstoppable.
