Model’s Nasty Story Shows Why You Probably Shouldn’t Get Your Eyeball Tattooed

The last place you’d probably want a tattoo is on your eyeball, but there are actually a number of people who love how it looks and get it done on their own eyes.

As you’re probably assuming right now, the procedure comes with a lot of risks, especially when the person performing it doesn’t know what they’re doing. Unfortunately, that’s what 24-year-old Canadian model Catt Gallinger learned the hard way when she got a scleral tattoo, which colors the white part of the eye with ink.

A day after the Ottawa, Ontario resident got injected with purple ink, her eye was completely swollen shut.
