Eyeball tattoos are a big craze at jails and prisons. Yes, we are used to seeing inmates all inked up with various photos and inscriptions permanently etched on their bodies. Now, inmates are wanting something else – eyeball tattoos.

Before you freak out, you should know that the only people that can give you an eyeball tattoo are doctors. Think about it – would you want a tattoo artist working on your eye?

At first, eyeball tattoos were used to correct abnormalities in the eye to make them appear normal.  Now that people have caught on to the fact that you can have colorful ink injected in to the whites of your eyes you can only imagine the response.

The long term effects of eyeball tattoos include blindness, infection, perforation, and hemorrhaging of the cornea.

Before tattooing the white of your eye, think about if you think you will like the look forever.  It’s highly unlikely that you will be able to reverse the colorful designs in your eye any time during your life.

Even though the eyeball tattoo is most popular in prisons, you can expect that it will become increasingly popular on the streets within due time.

What do you think? Will you consider getting an eyeball tattoo?
