Eyeball (scleral) tattoo gone wrong!!
The decision to walk into a tattoo parlor and have someone needle-inject ink into the whites of your eyeballs is a bad one. If done as intended, the tattooist injects ink just under the surface of the conjunctiva, so it colors the sclera – the white part of the eye. If the needle isn’t in exactly the right place, the ink can be injected into the inside of the eye, onto the retina or into the tissue around the eye, causing terrible consequences. A 26-year-old man presented with pain, photophobia, decreased visual acuity and eyelid edema in the right eye after undergoing a green eyeball tattoo in a tattoo parlor. Four days later his symptoms worsened and he sought medical care. The patient reported that the green pigment used in the injection was diluted with isopropyl alcohol, distilled water and glycerin. A clinical diagnosis of orbital cellulitis and posterior scleritis of the right eye was made. The patient was admitted for hospitalization. Intravenous antibiotic treatment (ceftriaxone and clindamycin) and topical antibiotic (moxifloxacin) were started. 2 days later, oral prednisone was initiated. A right tarsorrhaphy was performed due to conjunctival exposure and after 3 days the sutures were removed, resulting in clinical improvement. The patient completed 7 days of oral antibiotic treatment and prednisone was slowly tapered for 30 days. Fifteen days after starting treatment, proptosis, restriction of ocular movements and chemosis resolved, choroidal detachment disappeared and visual acuity improved. The right lower eyelid developed a green pigmentation. Eyeball tattoos are done by non-ophthalmic trained personnel, which increases the risk of serious ocular complications like globe penetration and endophthalmitis. Nevertheless, long-term effects on the eyes and vision are uncertain, but in the worst case scenario could include the loss of vision or the eye. Regulations prohibiting the practice of these procedures are required, because despite warnings of multiple health risks, more people are looking to get this procedure nowadays.

At least the persons doing this job should train themselves because people r not going to stop They always want to try something daring or unique and such people can’t differentiate it from stupidity
What is the point of doing this aside from wanting to be "different". Ppl really don't do the research bc if they did, they would see the vast amounts of problems that have come about from do this.
