Go ahead, express yourself. But please don’t do it by getting an eye tattoo! The eye is a delicate structure, you’re only got two of them, and ink injected around the structures of the eye can cause some very serious problems. A picture is worth a thousand words, and so we reluctantly share with you this photo of a 26 year old man who decided to get an eye tattoo. You can see the massive inflammation that occurred as a result of the tattoo, and the green discoloration of the eye. This case was reported in the American Journal of Ophthalmology this month. Be smart, be safe. Don’t ink your eye.
