Eyeball tattooing is reportedly gaining
traction in Australia, despite medical professionals warning it can
cause blindness and cancer. At least 20 Australians have permanently
inked their sclera – the white area around the iris – in the practice
founded by American body modification specialist, Luna Cobra.
Despite optometrists cautioning the
dangers of the practice, people are increasingly undergoing the sclera
inking in a bid to stand out.
‘I think it’s just becoming a trend
among people that just want to be super-extreme. But the worry is that
they are just getting anyone to do it — or doing it themselves,’ Luna
Cobra told News Corp.
His practice, which was inspired from a
friend photoshopping his eyes in an image, involves injecting ink
directly into the eyeball, which spreads and colors the white of the
eye.
