This is one of those tattoos that reflects "just because you can, doesn't mean you should". Choices do have consequences and those who want tattoos are no exception.
Added to the fact that the price of the problems of these tattoos fall on the healthcare. Choosing to do risky eye-tattoo because 'it's cool' and when it goes bad, majority of tens of thousands of euros surgeries goes to the universal healthcare system. Majority of the western world will have to give treatment, even if the patient doesn't have money for it. There should be a clause of "you got it, you pay the treatmen" just like there is now push on smokers via higher taxation on cigarette prices to offset the increased cancer, etc risk. People can tattoo themselves where-ever they want for all i care, but i don't want to be paying when their goofing and playing goes bad. Your choice, your money. I don't get to choose, i don't pay.
There’s definitely merit to this idea that society shouldn’t have to pay for someone’s extreme behavior. I’ve always thought the same when people go paragliding or jumping off of cliffs or whatever. My tax money I shouldn’t have to pay for all that rescuers you have to come get you.
Exactly. This is the same as people who scarf down incredible amounts of fast food and then try to sue the fast food industry because they became obese.
@@derekhayter4879 in my case, there's no point in having a million when I'm already happy. risking losing an eye isn't worth something that doesn't make a difference in my happiness lol.
I agree with you . I have bad eye sight and for me to get lense implant in my eyes is 9000 Canadian dollars and that’s so I can see I can’t imagine doing eye tattoo it’s so scary and I wish people would stop getting eye tattoos cuz being blind is so scary i experience half blind and had eye surgery done to save my eye sight and I’m so grateful to have had my eye saved from being blind. Being blind is not a joke.
Medical student here - the eyes and brain are 2 parts of the body that are protected from the immune system. The immune cells that circulate in your blood do not have access to the brain or the eyes because the antigens (signaling molecules on cells) in these organs are entirely different to the rest of the body. If this barrier is compromised, your own immune system will start attacking the organs!! I have no idea why anyone would actively choose to take this type of risk for aesthetic reasons... all it takes is one mistake and you're blind, this could also start entirely new autoimmune conditions in your body because your immune system is out of control. Just because you *can* do something doesn't mean you *should*
Honestly, as someone into heavy body mods, they also just look like sh!t!! It looks all patchy and trashy, and you would probably have to get it redone to get it looking okay which increases your risk soooo much. It straight up just looks bad in a majority of the cases, even if it's done perfectly, because its not a full tattoo, just a few injections that are supposed to spread around.
I have Sjogren's as well as another, more serious autoimmune disease. Because of the lack of moisture in my eyes, my lacrimal and meibomian glands are shot. I deal with erosive corneal dystrophy. I can no longer drive at night and even with perfect diopter correction, I am incapable of 20/20 vision. My eyes are always blurry because of the dryness. I would be thrilled to have my eyes back. Why ANYONE would do this is totally beyond me. Autoimmunity sucks. It doesn't go away, and living each day is a struggle. I promise, it's not worth it. Ask anyone who is autoimmune.
As someone who is living with partial blindness due to traumatic brain injury... these tattoos are inconceivable to me. Why would you risk that? You have no idea what a PRIVILEGE sight is until you lose it.
This is insanely stupid. I wear eye protection just for minor household repairs or pouring drain clearing chemicals. My ex used to say "Don't put your face close to the unstable cat. It only takes one claw to the eye...." And they will become bored with the colour rather quickly. Yet they took this kind of risk.
Piotr's nose is unusual, and he has some strong brow bone formation. Unless he gets a nose job, I can still recognize him, but I don't believe I will want any future tattoo services anyway. I was going to do a scar cover up, but I changed my mind.
What about as an Assistant in a Pie Shop? Myself, as a successful actor on the big screens, I too find it a bit scary. However, as a Police Woman, I find it enviably unavailable to me. As a News Agent, I find it interesting but risky.
@@ClickClack_Bamwhat gazelles aren't doing is saying let me go fuck with this lion right and let me let Pokey this mother fucker and see what happens they're minding their business you can't even compare the two there's always a bigger shark but when you're looking for the shark that's different
“No one is supposed to go blind when getting your eyeballs tattooed” is the craziest line I’ve ever heard, we are surprised that needles in peoples eyeballs are blinding them? This is crazy work.
I’ve worked at an eye clinic (not a Dr) and I’m sorry, but getting an eyeball tattoo has to be one of the most foolish moves I can think of. Your eyes are SO delicate. They are intricate and finicky and very temperamental , and when you lose your vision, you can often lose it for good. It’s utterly baffling that people would put themselves at risk of going blind for an aesthetic that can be more safely achieved with contact lenses. It’s your choice, but seriously consider if you would be okay with permanent vision loss or issues that you give to yourself for a style.
Oh, yeah... I had an episode of very high blood pressure during the night about 2 years ago. It led to a small bleeding in my left eye and I still have a small spot in my vision. I don't notice it anymore in daily life unless I focus on it. It's amazing what the brain can do, just like you don't notice the tip of your nose unless you focus. But as someone who has eyes and sight, I would not ever risk losing my vision for a tattoo.
I can’t believe the OP thinks that eyeball tats aren’t risky and shouldn’t affect your eyesight. I’m sorry but what med school do these tattoo artists go to? How in-depth are they with anatomy and physiology? Coloring in side of the lines isn’t good enough when it comes to vision. It’s not the same as inking on a body.
"No one is supposed to go blind when getting their eyeballs tattooed" is a great conversation starter to really let everyone know you make terrible life choices
@@littleme3597Exactly, and now when you think deeply, most things you can blame yourself for easily if you think deeply enough. But yes, this instance tattooing your eyes is not definitely one lmao. I have no sympathy or pity for these people.
@@Styphoryte while this is true, people should learn to do better and take responsibility for their health and any risks to it, one can't completely take away the blame from someone like the Polish tattoo artist who didn't even attempt to tattoo such a dangerous place relatively safely. He didn't care lol. Two things can be true at the same time - both the clients and the artists who botch eye tattoos are careless.
Yeah....anyone who opts for this should never get credit, never be able to buy a house or car....they have shown what type of decision making they possess....ridiculous.
I mean laser eye surgery is terrifying. A lot of people have minimal complications, sure, but when people do have complications, they’re deadly. So many people are committed suicide from laser eye surgery. Basically the surgery severs the nerves and you just have to hope they heal back together properly, for a lot of people they don’t. Nerve pain in general is excruciating, now imagine it in your eyes. I wanted laser eye surgery for a long time but after learning about how horrifically wrong it has gone many many times before I just could never do it
@@sugarpuff2978 I decided long ago that I was far too paranoid about doing it and have resigned myself to wearing glasses. I could not forgive myself for getting eye complications just for the sake of not wanting to wear glasses when I don’t even have that much of a problem with glasses anyway. 🤷🏻♀️
@@jujutrini8412 same. I have such a phobia of things going near my eyes and losing vision since video games are my favorite hobby would devastate me. I think my vision is finally starting to get worse in my late 30s and i've decided that I'm just gonna stick with glasses and probably not even try contacts.
Also on the word experimenting with tattooing eyeballs conversation the three guys who are experimenting with this to figure out how to do it that blows my mind like why would you think that was a good idea
Every tattoo artist should have 1 of 2 signs: "Eyeball tattoos are NOT accepted here." or "If you want an eyeball tattoo, you will have to sign a contract agreeing that you are aware of potential blindness coming from it and that we are not held liable for any potential blindness that may happen to you." They have contracts like this in boxing and UFC, so Tattoo artists should too IF they are willing to do them. AND Charge a buttload for them to discourage them, but also just in-case someone does try to sue them, even after signing the contract because you know they will. People lack common sense, critical thinking skills, and accountability. Eye ball tattoos should be like $10k - $100k just to discourage people from getting them in the first place.
@@Jake38nine I get the sense that's what the creator of the technique is doing. As this vid says, his whole damn website / brand is basically "You could go fucking blind, but if you are dead set on this, I'm probably a better choice than the sketchy dude down the street."
@@celle_tattoofor me it's the most scary one because you can go blind. Vision is literally everything. If u can't see your screwed. Other body modifications the worst case scenario is having a random mutilation on your body. That possibility of going blind thing makes it that much worse.
I was just having a conversation about this yesterday. I love tattoos but this is one that crosses boundaries because of the risk of going blind and having other eye issues. We already have other health challenges in general, why give oneself a high chance of having a medical problem if we can decide ? And this is my opinion, if an artist causes a person to go blind, they need to have their tattoo permissions revoked. It's a privilege to be able to tattoo and make money from that. They need to feel the repercussions. Clients are people not just canvases.
To me, it depends on why the person ended up going blind. If someone ended up developing an autoimmune disorder like Anaya, that is not something the artist could have predicted or really done anything about, nor is it a sign of the artist acting irresponsibly.
I love tattoos and body modifications, I have a whole lot of tattoos and piercings and am rooting for anyone else who wants to customize their body. HOWEVER, there are "modifications" that should not exist, should never be performed, and people getting them should be getting serious mental help. I'm talking removing noses, ears, fingers, etc.. someone who wants to remove their nose is, pardon my unprofessional opinion, in need of psychiatric help. Body dysmorphia is something that should never be ignored. It is a serious problem. Yes, it's their body and I support their right to do whatever the f they want, however, these specific intentions tell me there's a deeper issue here that needs to be addressed. Coming back to eyeball tattoos - I feel like that's right there on the cusp of being body dysmorphia. I don't think it's as bad as removing digits to look like an alien, but it's getting there. I would say the cool asthetic of having your eyes tattooed can be achieved in many, far less dangerous ways. It's a huge risk and the payoff isn't always great either. Having said all of that, if you want your eyeballs tattoooed, go to someone who knows how to do it. Do your research. And also, maybe get some help mentally just to make sure you're ok and not slipping away. And honestly this type of modification should require a specific license, but what tf do I know.
Exactly. My dad stuck an icepick in his eye, as a child, and the vitreolic fluid leaked out, and down his face. He was blind in that eye, for life. You can get a tattoo removed, but you can't just get that shit removed from your EYEBALL!
@@marinamansfield5872 Yeah if hit with enough force your eye will just pop and melt. Anything that can fit inside eye socket, like baseball or tennis ball can cause either rupture or popping of the eye. We had a dude in highschool that got his face whipped with a bicycle chain, he had both scars and lost an eye.
I worked as a surgical tech during many eye surgeries and I was in charge of passing over all the instruments, prepared, to the surgeon who would be looking through a microscope. Patients were also partially awake so we made sure not to speak unless needed. Even the slightest bubble in the needle that could get into the eye would get you yelled at because the eyes are SO delicate. I learned the frailness of the eye and that they needed extremely gentle care from everyone on the team. The thought of TATTOOING an eyeball, let alone without ANY medical training, made me flinch. I feel so bad for these people. I sincerely hope they all have good lives going forward.
that Piotr guy is known for performing extreme body modifications (think removal of body parts) - he also argued with Aleksandra when they wanted to stop the procedure and informed him about pain and immediate impact upon vision. This man is vile and has had a separate case going on for performing surgeries without medical license
All by request tho, f around and find out. Play stupid games, win stupid prizes. I could go on, but, I figure most of us are educated or have a semblance of common sense, ish. So I won't.
Don’t get me started on Samppa von Cyborg and his wife. They do elf ear surgery and other forms of body modification travelling around the globe and I was considering getting one years ago. I changed my mind because after all, they’re no licensed doctors (I think Aneta is a nurse? I might be wrong) and if anything bad happens you’re screwed. Afaik you sign a waiver so you can’t sue for medical malpractice or negligence. Heck they could kill you in some hotel room should they mess up your anaesthesia. Police has been onto them too but it’s a legal grey area.
I couldn't stand getting contacts because of the discomfort and I hate having anything that close to or touching my eyes so a needle repeatedly penetrating my eye for minutes at a time sounds like the worst torture. 😫 I hope that the community learns well from these incidents. Maybe someday there will be a completely safe way to achieve this same effect because admittedly it does look very cool and fantastical.
Before working in the autopsy room I did tissue procurement for years. I removed thousands of corneas and globes for transplant and research. The thought of tattooing the sclera is insane to me.
Right? I don't even know how they manage. You can get a loose cornea from a bad dive, how can you heal from getting fluid injected between these thin delicate tissues?
It was clear years ago the progression of profuse and ever more noticable tattoos was part of a collective madness. W/ face and eyeball tattoos, it is seeming more like mental illness.
Having lost some vision due to a detached retina, it also feels like there's something in my eye 24/7. It's been 11 years now. People taking their sight for granted tells me a lot about their priorities...
@@saintejeannedarc9460 The same people that think that a tongue split up the middle is a cool look. Or spend $$$ to have teeth look like werewolf teeth or wtvr.
I have multiple disabling conditions-physical and mental- and it’s a bit odd having those two perspectives duke it out. As someone with physical disabilities (not blindness though) I will never understand why able-bodied people risk their absolute blessed privilege of health for aesthetics. At the same time, as someone with mental disabilities, I understand how looking in a mirror and seeing something you aren’t happy with can make you miserable. I understand how someone might want to do anything to ease that pain. I can’t really make a decision on which side of me is more reasonable because I’ll never experience having one without the other. It’s something I can’t imagine, so I definitely won’t be judging. Regulations need to be super tight though. Sheltered, impulsive people who just turned 18 who don’t have a good grasp on the word permanence (no shade, it’s part of growing up!) need protecting too.
i cannot speak for every able bodied person, but i can say that my brother and i really admire prosthetics designs and have discussed what we'd get if we ever had to. but it's not like we're choosing to maim ourselves or taking chances on dangerous body modifications, we just genuinely appreciate prosthetic designs. the eyeball tattoos are pretty wild tho... i've known about them and kind of wanted them for a decade now, but i know the risks and just want to wait to get them, if i ever do. i've done contacts for fun and that's enough for me for now lol. i was kind of thinking maybe i'll get them tattooed when i'm already getting cataracts anyways and i feel hypocritical saying this but i agree that 18 year olds probably shouldn't make huge body mod decisions. i'm a hypocrite though because i got huge forearm tattoos as soon as i turned 18 and i just don't regret them personally. so it's not fair for me to say that, but if i had a kid i'd personally encourage them to wait till their mid twenties to do any body mods, just to be safe.
I admire you for speaking out on this, and I'm fascinated by your unique world view. I've seen both sides argue against one another, and you're in a unique situation to be able to understand both sides. Hope you are well 💜
I'm in a similar boat, and I know what you mean. I'm anorexic, but I also have a couple of neurological conditions which have been getting progressively worse. My health was already shit before I developed an ED. I feel this enormous sense of guilt for making my health even worse, just because I have a problem with my physical appearance when I'm at a normal weight. But the causes of EDs go so much deeper than just vanity. I think it's related to my OCD as well as trauma. I think that able-bodied people are more willing to risk their health, just because they take it for granted. Being young also factors into it, due to younger people often being healthier, but also because the chemistry of the adolescent and young adult brain promotes risk-taking behavior, by placing more weight on potential rewards as opposed to potential consequences. When I was 16 years old and healthy, I used to do any kind of drug I could get my hands on, I did my own piercings with safety pins, and smoked cigarettes without giving it a second thought. Now I'm 33, chronically ill, and every single day I get up at 8am, eat vegetables, and drink at least 50oz of water.
DUMBEST THING I ever heard : at 0:01 you say " No one is supposed to go blind when getting their eyeballs tatood"" ....FALSE .It's simply kind of "normal" to go blind or to have serious complications while doing it .Many factors involved such as injection of the ink into the eye , the lack of anesthesia (so the person getting tatooed involuntary moves and risks big time the procedure) , the fact that the "artist" is not a surgeon ,etc,etc .Paying $10,000 for self inflicted blindness ?...ha ha ! ..NO Thanks ...even if Jeff Bezos gives me a billion dollars I'd say NO !
As a one-eyed person (due to car accident), I really know how valuable vision is. To lose it for some shallow aesthetic purpose is beyond words for me.
0:00 No one is supposed to get their eye balls tattooed. I don't mean to sound rude, but if you are injecting ink into your eyeballs, there is something terribly wrong.
I am absolutely shocked anyone would be so insane to choose to have a needle with ink put in their precious eyes. Being blind is the worst fate I can imagine, to live in a world of dark. What insanity to risk this.
@@shellieleelee871 Its great that you are somewhat independent compared to not being independent! I hope I didn’t come off as rude, it’s just that it feels like an exaggeration to think of blindness as the worst fate, when I see blind people living good lives, and other people suffering a lot from other reasons and fates.
@@Exe.Casper.01 No, you're right. I'm disabled myself, and I struggle, soo the thought of also not having sight makes me feel like I couldn't it, but I'm surviving. I see people with no vision THRIVING.
I was temporarily blind by a vitreous hemorrhage in my right eye. It was so scary and devastating. I can finally see like 90%. Still have blood in the eye that needs to be absorbed to fully recover. This Friday June 14, 2024 I will see my eye doctor again hopefully good news. A while back had a retina eye tear in my right eye that needed surgery twice. I couldn’t see well out of my right eye. Years before that I had Uveitis in my right eye 2 or 3 times again temporarily loss vision. I thought about getting my vision corrected by surgery but some people end up having bad results like eye pain. So I’m not going to. My right eye has had issues too often to risk it. I’m an artist and I enjoy the ability to see and to see more colors than most people. Never ever intentionally do crazy stuff to your eyes like tattoos. Not being able to see is horrible. I even had problems finding things, ran into walls, tables, chairs, and it hurts living like that. Thankfully, all these eye problems with being blind or loss of sight were able to gain sight back and have a full recovery.
@@jenjen2824 unfortunately, there was a long holiday here and my appointment got canceled. I can tell I’m almost done healing, but I need to make an appointment because I want to have doctor’s approval to be taken off restrictions. Thanks for asking.
something that shocked me about this video is how young the 3 people were. they all made decisions in their early 20s which either did, or could've, affected their vision for their entire life. the unfortunate hubris of youth. so sorry for the people included in this video and everyone else botched by this procedure
@@beardiemom Smoking cigarettes isn't even in the ballpark of tattooing eyeballs. One is permanent and beyond madness for risk. The other is a bad habit that is often stopped when they get older.
They have a large variety of contact lenses that safety change the look of your eyes. You can have “cat eyes” on Monday, and “alien eyes” on Tuesday, without the costs and risk. 👁️👁️
As long as you care for the contacts and your eyes properly, like soaking them in contact solution for at least (I think) an hour before wearing them (at least, that's what I've heard for colored contacts)
I thought the same thing, you can always buy those huge black Sclera contacts. It's probably not very good you, but 10000000000 times better than fuckign NEEDLE AND INK to your eyeball!
So the down side to eyeball tattoos is that they’re incredibly expensive, more painful and uncomfortable healing process than conventional tattoos, and it makes the person look sickly (whites of eyes are a sign of health) and to top it off, the recipient can go blind. What is the upside?? 😐
There is a reason why we use "EYE PROTECTION" when working with chips and debris. The same reason was ignored when they got eyeballs pierced by the ink needle. Didn't they think about it?
I started out this year by almost losing my vision in my right eye due to a medical issue (unrelated to tattooing). It was one of the most terrifying experiences ever, waking up each morning not knowing if I'd suddenly be in the dark. I'm an artist, so permanently losing even half of my vision would be devastating, as I'm sure you can understand. And losing it in one eye but not the other would destroy depth perception. I knew I was in deep sh-- when my eye doctor gave me her personal cell number and was checking on me several times a day 😮 I was significantly impaired for several weeks, and it took months for the issue to heal completely, but I was lucky. All this being said, I just CANNOT UNDERSTAND how anyone would think it's worth risking their EYESIGHT just to look cool. You wouldn't even be able to see what YOU look like afterward!! Imagine never being able to see a beautiful beach with that clear teal water again. Imagine never seeing your child's face again and them being forever five years old in your memory. Imagine never seeing your mother or father's faces again. All for a tattoo?? I would never be able to comprehend people taking these risks. The world is far too full of beauty to intentionally risk losing it all. 😢 🙈 (I can't find that emoji, this is the closest I've got lol but I swear I'm a real one!! 🤣)
I have a phobia about things being near or damaging my eyes. if I have vision problems in the future I couldn't do any kind of surgery to fix it, I'd just stick with glasses. I can't understand anyone risking probably the most important sense we have just to look cool.
It is a risky procedure, and the results are hideous. It's clearly not a very bright decision. Don't ask someone to put a needle in your eye because you want to look "cool and unique", then complain about getting blind. Don't be dumb. Love yourselves
She doesn’t regret it but her daughter is probably traumatised about seeing her mum do this to herself and having more sense of fear than her - how scary for her daughter to say you will go blind and then her mum actually wakes up looking like that? But the mum doesn’t regret it? 😢
She likely does regret it but isn't trying to admit it to anyone. She probably doesn't want people to view her as someone who chose this and got f*cked 😅
She already had autoimmune reaction on skin tattoos and yet decided to have her eyes tattooed. And she's a mother, so irresponsible! I am really sorry for her kid, this is so unfair
Not even if I'm paid 10 000 dollars I won't endure such a procedure. I can't imagine what these people are like, that risk 10 000 dollars to go blind. 😢
I feel so bad for the last woman because even if she did a ton of research he would have still ruined her bc he didn't care enough to do the research himself. I also think it's smart for eye ball tattoo artists to also have a medical license because then it would show they have the knowledge about the eye, but eye complications that can happen.
but if she had researched wouldn't she have at least some idea of the proper way it should be done? Genuine question... if her lawyers say that there were multiple huge oversights then maybe asking what type of ink he planned to use, cross referencing techniques by other artists, asking every single question about this huge procedure... wouldn't she have had some idea? Edit: I don't mean t bash or shame her! She is worthy no matter what choices she makes or consequences she experiences. But I do think research would have made a huge difference for her
@@intellectualstripper We don't know what she looked into. The artist failed her by not properly looking into the kind of ink used. This knowledge isn't something a customer is going to have.
@@vvitch-mist20 you are right I agree the artist failed her. I just personally think that we are also failing future victims as well if we don’t at least have conversations around the idea of clients doing full, thorough due dilligence and what that might look like esp for such a risky procedure. You’re right maybe she did take all those steps I mentioned! But we don’t know atp so I think it’s valid to at least bring into the convo. Edit: I know this procedure is still relatively new so that’s obviously a factor too! But imo that’s why it’s even more crucial to start having respectful conversations about how and why to research the professionals we’re placing our trust in.
as someone who has poor eyesight and chronic eye issues, I'm kinda dumbfounded that people would risk their eyesight for aesthetics. only people with extensive medical training should be able to do anything to your eyes, your eyes are so sensitive but so crucial. my heart goes out to the people who've had long lasting complications from scleral tattoos 😢 and there needs to be more awareness about the negative outcomes of this procedure to dissuade more people from getting it done
As someone who's had major/invasive eye surgery, I appreciate your perspective. Having a scleral buckle for the rest of my life means I didn't go blind, but my peripheral vision is mostly gone on that side (detached retina). Absolutely agree on medical professionals being involved with this. It sucks being at a higher risk for glaucoma and having to re-learn to drive (I couldn't see one of my side mirrors anymore). The thought of losing my vision at 31 was utterly terrifying, and I had wonderful doctors. This is nuts.
I have brown eyes, but I’m a little insecure about them. I thought about getting surgery to make them blue when I’m older until I read that can cause blindness. It would be so stupid for me to go through that only to not even be able to see my eyes finally blue.
OMG! Anaya's clip hit home for real! When my youngest son was about 3, I pierced my belly button. I took out the ring maybe a year or so later and the hole healed up, i didn't expect that. So about another year or so later I started talking about getting it re-opened. My poor baby lost it! I mean real tears! He was absolutely terrified at the thought! I was soooo shocked by his reaction! I never got it re-done. I still desire it some time but I don't have the belly for it anymore! And he's almost 30 now!
my sister got both of hers tattooed navy blue. luckily she’s had no complications but she does regret it now and says it was the worst pain shes ever felt in her life :/
It’s very sad but I feel like the lesson is always the same in these cases : do not go cheap for your tattoos or you’ll end up paying so much more. If even the creator himself warns you and decided on a price to make it very rare, why risking going anywhere else?
@@xoxopreppyemiyet people still cheap out on them. why pay $5 and risk major damage to your earlobe (it happened to a cousin by going to claires) when you can get proffesional piercing for around $50. Plus you're supporting independent stores and professionals instead of a huge corporation that underpays child workers and has them perform unsafe medical procedures.
Answer to why Piotr's face is blurred: In Europian Union the identy of people who are involved in court cases is usually (not always) protected by law. The reason why, is because it's believed that a person should no longer suffer from their wrongdoings after they completed their sentencing. Hope this helps.☺️ And sorry for my bad english😅
people with english as a second language who speak it better than us fluent primary language speakers apologizing for their bad english always makes me chuckle. No Americans I know would write as good as you lol.
My sister had her eyes lasered over 20 years ago. In 2008, we were at my newly refurbed flat having dinner, and she said she felt like a bit of mascara or grit went into one of her eyes, and began to really hurt. We had to abandon dinner and go to A&E for her to get the grit/whatever it was flushed out of her eye, and the Doctor said there were scratches on her eye. I can’t even imagine why anybody would willingly have dye injected into their eyes, it is insane. It seems that since the millennium, people are upping their game and will do ANYTHING to get attention, eye dye, cutting off healthy body parts, - what is going to be the next thing? people cutting off their head, and walking around with it under their arm? it is insane. What happened, to make people do these absolutely insane things to themselves. It has really stepped up since the millennium. The world went crazy.
social media has a monumental impact, not to say people weren’t being attention-seeking before, but now i think the ease of attaining global attention and it being offered to anyone and not just celebrities has dramatically exacerbated what people will do and how many will do it
Considering there's contacts that do the same thing, have way less complications, and um...look better (more even/dark and such) this is a bad idea on so many levels. When rebellion goes wrong!
There are also temporary tattoos, but yet ppl still get something permanent. I say decorate your home, walls, desks, and body but don't put something permanent or harmful on your body for decoration like tattoos that can't be easily hidden or disfiguring piercings.
@@chknchkn6385 Yeah, this is supposed to be body art. It's not, it's a fashion trend that you can't reverse. It was bad enough when the fashion trend could kill your chance of most jobs.

@@NightmareFoundry I could have been more specific, but I will be here. I'm not talking about the old school trend of arm or body tattoos. I'm talking about the extreme trend of neck and all over arms, hands and even face tatooing. That will cut out a lot of jobs for most people. When it comes to eye tattoos, it's going to disqualify you from just about anything where you have to deal w/ the public. They will only hire people like that if they are hidden, and even then a lot of HR is going to wonder if you're mentally stable and probably won't take the chance.
@@saintejeannedarc9460 Well, if you think someone who is invested in tattooing their entire body is also trying to get a job at Wells Fargo as a bank teller.... You are detached from the world around you. Most of these people either own businesses, or are already in alternative careers like bartending, remote tech work, creative positions, entertainment, etc. A lot of trade jobs are filled with people who aren't made for desk work but deal heavily with the public, and honestly, they tend to make more money than those chained to a desk too. People don't really care what you look like so long as you have good reviews and can fix their sink. To think tattoos at any level hinders you in creating financial stability for yourself is thick boomer mentality. There is a world outside of corporate America that is more lucrative and less soul-crushing. lol
This video unlocked an aversion in me I didn’t realize I had. I am so grossed out by people doing close-ups of their eyeballs while they pry their lids open 😂. I had to look away every time this video showed those clips. 👁️ 👁️
@Zacharias3 Totally! The only way I got through my Lasik procedure was with a big fat Valium and even then it was rough. Best thing I ever did for myself though! I did it in 2008 and still am so happy with my eyesight.
One of the main things I keep hearing in these extreme risk body modifications is that they got something because they "felt ugly".. or "feel ugly". Body mods are risky and should only be done to enhance or improve features you already have. Most of these women, and men even, are already above average looking or straight up beautiful already. I have tattoos and I never got then to hide something or make me beautiful; they added to what was already there; and I weighed the risks in the balance. My eye sight never was on the table.. This is sad to me because it wasn't needed. I don't think this should be done period. People who want this please consider. -Shalom
the attention for being attractive wasn’t enough for them, so much so that they were willing to trade their natural good looks in for getting even more attention by unsettling people. most people will find what they’ve done to themselves to be unsettling and a likely outward indicator of deep-seated mental problems made by immature young adults with brains that are not fully developed. again not everyone will, and people who love body modification may see eyeball tattoos as beautiful, but the vast majority of people will have an intense visceral reaction to this and see it as attention-seeking through self-defacement.
It killed me how the one chick was regretting the color she chose for her eyeballs. I've felt dumb for picking the "wrong" color of bedsheets, let alone permanently dyeing my body "wrong."
The worst idea ever. It’s one or the most dangerous things you can do to yourself. Eye is a very difficult place to operate by an experienced surgeon, the one with 10 years of studies and 10 years of practice. To trust the tattoo artist, even the most talented to do that to you… well good luck with that 😅 The worst complication: Loosing your eyeballs and your life due to cancer or autoimmune disease.
Okay so I was so intrigued by this that I went deeper into the case of Aleksandra, if you'd like to hear some more of Polish madness. She was invited to some morning TV show where she said that "she never read anything explicit about losing vision after getting a tattoo" but that "she doesn't regret this tattoo at all [even though she lost her vision], only the artist choice". On the other hand, the guy she was inspired by, Popek, heavily criticized her... About the tattoo artist, he only does piercing now (tattoo isn't a medical practice, so he can't get a ban of any kind, law-wise), but the funny thing about the edited photos is that here one can be the most public person in the country, but if media mention them as a crime suspect/perpetrator their surname becomes a letter and their pictures are censored, whether it makes sense in one's case or not. Even the most famous actors etc. I'll never understand tattooing eyeballs, because when all's fine all's fine, but then when some issues arise, doctors will turn you away, since medicine isn't about practices like this and they aren't ready for all the complications that come with such modifications. Terrible cases, truly.
I have panic attacks sometimes thinking I could become blind just naturally, I have no clue how those people could ever put themselves in such a vulnerable position. It’s beyond comprehension.
I had eye surgery (LASIK) you're not supposed to feel anything, they squirt a bunch of anesthesia until you can't feel anything and then they go in with a needle ,but you don't feel anything. Idk why a tattoo would be any different, this is horrifying
There are but people still do stuff illegally, look at the black alien project, he’s removed his nose ears and plans on getting rid of his legs, none of it legal but he still found a way.
The 'I don't regret it' cop out for literally causing your own blindness really pisses me off.... I'm so over the 'no regrets' thing. Option 1: You are so out of touch with reality that you don't appreciate the importance of your eyesight and how much it contributes to your daily life. Which would put you dangerously close to being an asshole as well. Option 2: You regret it so profoundly that you cannot even being to cope and have to deny it to get through your daily life. I really don't like the body modifications communal mentality of regret nothing. The changes you make to your body can have really profound unknown effects that I bet would 100% change your decision, unless you are the option 1 person.
Completely agree with you. If everyone has this mentality of 'no regrets' all the people who are not happy with what they got are looked over. People could learn from those mistakes, mistakes of others that they don't have to make themselves.
"No one is supposed to go blind getting their eyeballs tattooed. " Sounds like the title of a book for fools . Imaging the discomfort of a single eyelash in your eye and had no peace until you got it out..
“Tattooed eyeballs please” I cannot imagine any sane mentally stable person wanting to burn money and destroy body parts even after research. It’s totally Senseless, pun intended ☠️
No one is supposed to go blind while getting their eyeballs tattooed. Correct, no one should be tattooing their eyeballs, 🤦🏾♀️. No tattoo=no blindness.
I've done two of my piercings at Piotr's studio. You don't really have much options in Poland i guess when it comes to bodymodification. This guy i think he founds himself able to perform all kinds of that. And he has indeed big portfolio of all different kinds of stuff. When i saw his full offer of bodymodifications i was like laughing with my friend about it that he probably never done some of those but still put that in his offer because he thinks its easy peasy. And when i first heard about that girl i imidietly check if its him. And well my intuition was right about that guy
*I am from Poland and yes - we almost never get to know someone's full name or personal information unless they allow it. The case You discussed was a huge thing in polish news back then... We never got any information about this... "artist's" identity. I hope he's not able to hurt any more people.*
My heart aches for all three affected, but especially the second woman and her daughter. I hope she is growing to love herself and her skin so she can teach her daughter to do the same. The child seems to have a good head on her shoulders already ❤️ For all who read this, remember: health is wealth. Protect it. As cheesy as it sounds, it is true. Happy new year!
I feel for the child, not the mother. She was warned by her child who clearly has more sense than the literal adult, and selfishly did it anyway. Like someone else here said, she won’t be able to see her child’s face anymore and watch her grow up.
Personally, I go by "you do your thing, I do mine." If someone wants to get body alteration done, that is entirely their choice. But personally I think tattooing your eyeball, a quite sensitive organ in the first place, to be a particularly unwise decision.
In my opinion, if you want to get this type of tattoo, it's worth waiting all the time and save all the money that it's necessary to do it with an expert. It's your eyesight we're talking about here 😔 I'm so sad for the last two people. P.S: I love your content, Celle! From one tattooed girlie to another ❤ sending love from Chile.
If someone had contacts that looked the same I wouldn't be able to tell the difference. Way too much of a risk. Sight is one of the most precious things I feel I have as well as hearing. I'd never compromise one of my senses for a body mod.
I have much respect to Luna for developing the modification and for the way he does these tattoos today. He already charges such a high price (justifiably so), and really does his due-diligence to ensure that he is educating his clients on how dangerous of a procedure it really is. His efforts make it so that clients who aren't totally, 100% committed to this procedure and ALL of its risks are deterred from the beginning. So I don't think it should be an illegal procedure, because he clearly does it correctly. What really baffles me is how other tattoo artists are seemingly able to carry out Luna's procedure with no education or training whatsoever. Like, surely you should need some kind of qualification before sticking a needle into someone's eye?
Luna should also pay for disability checks for the ones that go blind. Because, I don’t want to pay for a person that risks their health on my dime, my family is more entitled to my money than a person that wants attention or makes money off of their decisions.
Luna has always had a "don't do it, but if you absolutely have to do it, do it as safely as possible" mentality, and he applies it to all the heavy mods he performs. He makes sure every client is fully educated on every risk, I respect him so much.
@Adennative they should defo have some mandory therepy first tho i dont think this should be allowed without therepy first to make sure there processing the danger thats the thing because when were really stoked to do something we can become flooded by endophines the happy chemical ect so in all relaity they should have some type of therepy process first
If there's one place in my body that I avoid any kind of modification is my eyes, I did eye surgery once and it was enough to know that you just mess with your eyes if it's really necessary.
tbh if it were me i would just get scalera lenses if i wanted that look. i love tattoos and i have many, but i constantly worry about how they will receive medical treatment in the future as most eye-related diseases have to do with the color/visual appearance of the eye itself 😭
I do not understand how these people say they have no regrets. It is not worth the risk and they were blinded, even though it was temporary in 2 out of the 3 cases.
It is hard to admit they were wrong and dumb. Anyone doing this is practically begging for blindness. And when they get it they go surprised pikachu face.
