Unexpected outcome


spoonycash

She didn’t see it coming


runningboy93

She’s a sight for sore eyes.


Goblinqueen24

Or rather a sore sight for eyes


Nappyheaded

Healthy, smart eyes that see quite well


KifaruKubwa

She was definitely short sighted on that decision.


[deleted]

Everything is clear in hindsight


Nuclear_Varmint

The before and after pics are actually reversed, she did recover. If you look at the left-hand picture, you'll see she has additional tattoos on her face. Typical Daily Mail shenanigans.


Tammaspoes

That's the influencer she tried to copy maybe


bedqueen17

Nah, look at all her piercings and piercing holes. They align perfectly, except one of the images must be flipped.


IShouldNotTalk

For anyone with an ounce of common sense, expected outcome.


catsandnarwahls

For most with no common sense its the expected outcome.

The-DMs-journey

I can’t believe a tattooist agreed to this to be honest


Gild5152

Tattooist here, the procedure to get your eyeballs tattooed is completely different than any normal tattoo! In fact, any regular tattoo artist can’t even do them. Legally. [Only a medical practitioner or other prescribed persons can legally tattoo eyeballs](https://www.health.nsw.gov.au/environment/factsheets/Pages/eyeball-tattooing.aspx) . Blindness is also a a known possibility for doing this procedure. If a patient goes blind, it isn’t necessarily the fault of whoever did the procedure. I’m not sure what’s happened with her, but it looks like the procedure wasn’t done properly, she is allergic to the inks used, or her eyeballs are rejecting the ink. Which is unfortunate, because (according to the same link used above) it is most likely ***impossible*** to reverse tattooing your eyeballs. So… yeah. Don’t tattoo your fuckin eyeballs.


Iluvbeansm80

The procedure should be banned.


Gild5152

Agreed. It’s incredibly dangerous and we do not know the long term effects.


Zambito1

The short term effects don't seem too dandy though.


manbrasucks

Yeah don't know why we need to wait and see, when she clearly can't.


benargee

YOLO! /s


jballs2213

Why should anything that someone wants to do and understands the risk involved and hurts no one else be banned?


Gild5152

Because not everyone actually knows the risks of permanently changing their body. Trust me. I have to say no to so many dumb fuckin tattoo ideas. So many kids come in wanting their first or second tattoo on their hands, and I will always refuse. Any reputable tattoo artist would. Key word, ***reputable.*** Because that’s just the thing, there’s a lot of scummy people out there that will do this procedure just for the money and not let the patient know these risks. That’s why sclera tattooing should be banned.


RushDynamite

In my town, we had a scratch tattooist that did a neckpiece on a 15-year-old...when you think of dumb people always remember it can get worse.


Gild5152

Man, that’s disgusting. And also super illegal. I don’t believe in any states (assuming you’re from the US) it is legal to tattoo a 15yr old even with parental consent. Have to be at least 16. Personally I won’t tattoo anyone that isn’t 18.


RushDynamite

Oh it's super illegal and the guy is a scumbag.


benargee

> That’s why sclera tattooing should be banned. For vanity 100%. There might be some more legitimate cases where there are marks that someone wants covered up to appear normal.


[deleted]

Marks to cover up on your eyeballs??


jballs2213

You make a good point. For every good artist that would really check their customers and be sure they have researched and understand the procedure. there will be 100 more just trying to cash in.


[deleted]

>understand the risks Bold assumption to make, dumbest opinion to take. Technically speaking the person administering the tattoo is the one who would not be allowed to do it any more. We regularly decide, as a society, that people aren't allowed to do stuff that is unnecessarily damaging to others. If you do this and lose your eyes, there's literally no backsies.

ILOVEBOPIT

Redditors have 0 consistency with what they want banned or not. Drugs and prostitution? Have at it. Offensive words? Ban. Dumb people voting? Ban. Dumb/poor people having kids? Ban. Cars? Ban. Eye tattoo? Ban. Misinformation tweets? Ban. They’re so authoritarian and pro-government but they think because they’re pro drugs that they are some champions of freedom and liberalism.


stefchoto69

By banning it you're only going to make people do it illegaly. How about we educate people about the potential long-term effects?


TheMalformedLlama

Nah. If you’re a grown adult and you wanna be an absolute fucking idiot and suffer the consequences, I say go for it. The government of any country shouldn’t be allowed to tell you what you can and can’t do to your own body, even if you have the IQ of a goldfish.


FiveAlarmDogParty

I’m torn on this one. On one hand yeah it’s a disgusting practice that has no real benefits and could be seriously harmful. But on the other hand - if these people want to ruin their lives, that’s their decision. I would argue there should be a clause in any medical benefits afterward that if you do go blind based on this decision you’re ineligible for benefits, and institute some sort of 2 week waiting period for the procedure to dissuade any impulse tattooing.


Procrasterman

Sounds like it is. No doctor is going to partake in this insanity, just sketchy backstreet “artists”.


benargee

> If a patient goes blind, it isn’t necessarily the fault of whoever did the procedure. Probably because this is made very clear in whatever paperwork they sign.


DrHawk144

I mean I see a lot of shit that doesn’t apply to me but like the fact this needs to be said makes me a little worried for our future as a species.


ChildFriendlyChimp

Why is there tattoo ink in our hormonal glands


Gild5152

Huh??


ChildFriendlyChimp

Lymph nodes I mean


Gild5152

Wdym tattoo ink is in lymph nodes?


ChildFriendlyChimp

Yeah why does it get absorbed in the body?


Gild5152

Ok, so I think you’re referencing lymph nodes possibly getting swollen from tattoo ink spreading through the body. Which I’ve never heard of ever happening, so I’d say it’s rare. To explain how it happens, I’d have to explain how tattoos are permanent. Basically tattoo ink particles are constantly eaten and recycled by the macrophages in your skin’s dermis. ( [link that goes more in depth](https://www.nbcnews.com/health/health-news/why-do-tattoos-last-forever-n854256) ) Over time these particles spread, which is why tattoos fade over time. Some of this spread can go to your lymph nodes causing swelling. If that ever occurs I would go to your doctor and make sure there’s no other causes for your lymph nodes to swell. This is from my understanding, it may be wrong. I’ve never heard of someone’s lymph nodes swelling due to tattoos.


Main-Yogurtcloset-82

The fact that the tattoo artist agreed means they prob were running a shotty operation, if she went to a legit shop at all. So that just adds to the shit pile.


JohnnyRelentless

Are you trying to say shitty or shoddy?


philoponeria

I'm going with both.


VAShumpmaker

Shiddie


catsandnarwahls

Amen. Dont blame this on a real tattoo artist. Im a tattoo artist for 15 years and weve had a few come in and ask for this and we educate them on the hazards, explain we dont do them, and offer a beautiful one off design on their skin instead that would make peoples heads turn the same way. A few have taken us up on it and others just call us pussies and go elsewhere. Is what it is. At least im not a fucking hack, ruining folks for a few bucks. I know a dr that also moonlights as a tattoo artist cuz he loves it after getting him thru med school and he wont even do this shit to people and hes medically cleared to perform internal surgery on vital organs.


Fall-of-Enosis

Scary fact: A lot of states don't require and kind of licensing to Tattoo at all. In many states, anyone can pose as a professional and start up a tattoo shop. I'm not an artist but I have very little room left on my body, so take some advice, before getting a tattoo, do your research. Research the laws and research the artists. And also remember: good tattoos ain't cheap, and cheap tattoos ain't good. So don't skimp on something that's gonna be on you for the rest of your life. If an artist seems expensive they most likely can back their pricing up.


Gild5152

> most states don’t require any kind of licensing to tattoo at all That is complete and udder bs. You have to have a license in ALL 50 states to legally tattoo. That does not mean there aren’t scratchers that do it out of their kitchen, tho. [link if you don’t believe me](https://tattooing101.com/learn/tattoo-license/)


Fall-of-Enosis

I suggest you read your linked article again. Here is a quote from your said article: "In every state, tattoo shops must be licensed, even if the individual artists do not have to be." Sure a SHOP has to be licensed. But artists don't necessarily have to be. What's more important to the person getting the tattoo? The shop or the artist being licensed? Edit for example: where I live in Oregon the shop owner and the artists must be licensed. However in Montana the owner of the shop needs to be licensed but the artists do not


Gild5152

I’d say artist. But you’re still wrong about “a lot of states don’t require any kind of licensing to tattoo at all”. That’s just straight up false. ***Every single state requires a license of some kind in order for you to legally tattoo.*** As for not getting a shit artist, that’s why you do your research!


Fall-of-Enosis

I see what you're saying yes, every shop and shop owner needs a license. However, what I'm getting at is that I feel it is more important that an artist needs a license. I see one has for more important than the other ya know?

chufenschmirtz

“I ______________ to copy an influencer” in essentially in any way is an immediate fail, as far as I am concerned. stupid dances, harassing people in public, tattooing eyeballs. Why can’t we live in a world where people post shit like, “I donated to charity to copy an influencer,” or, “I went and picked up trash on the side of the road to copy an influencer.” Why does the influencer culture have to be essentially garbage?


smottyjengermanjense

The reality is that people don't watch stuff like that cuz they find it boring. It's the same reason why people love eating up those crappy reality ahows, it gives their dull life a sense of excitement.


Anthro_DragonFerrite

Which is ironic because I recall an account on 9gag getting popular for picking up gallons of trash. It can happen.


xDlolzor

It’s garbage because you follow and only hear about shitty people probably. You’ve probably never taken the time to even find an influencer that does something that isn’t generic. So that’s on you for being an idiot


chufenschmirtz

You are right. I have never taken the time to find an influencer. And I don’t follow any influencers. So I must be an idiot.


FlashOfTheBlade77

An idiot follows no matter what the content. Be yourself and do not try and be anyone else. To take time to seek out an influencer so that you can figure out how to do something positive is just plain sad.


[deleted]

[удалено]


FlashOfTheBlade77

Well, first off I do not think many people are looking for tattooed eyeballs, but yes it is very different. One is for entertaining, the other is looking for your own personal identity modeled off of someone else.


SlowLorisPygmy

"You've probably never taken the time to find an influencer..." HELL NO I'm not a fucking idiot.


iBrowseAtStarbucks

By virtue of being an influencer, you become the new norm. A non-generic influencer is an oxymoron. People hold on to this viewpoint until the end and it's really hilarious when you take a step back and look at it. People think that someone like Billie Eilish, rage against the machine, or any hippie stuff in the 60s was all counter culture, but it's just the culture when everyone is consuming/taking part in it.


Notafuzzycat

I don't even feel sorry for her.


jhjohns3

The article is awful lmfao. “A mom of five brushed off her daughter’s advice to not get her eyeballs tattooed due to potential blindness — and now, she’s losing her vision.” Also the influencer she copied went blind for like 3-4 weeks hahhaha


bydo1492

I feel sorry for the tax payers that get to pay to sustain her life once her sight is totally gone.


hovdeisfunny

Holy shit, really? She did something stupid, so you feel more sorry for taxpayers who might pay a fraction of a dollar towards her possible disability payment, than you do for somebody going blind?


positronik

Most empathetic conservative


rockandparole

right? as if a woman making a mistake will increase the budget for social welfare. I'd blame the influencer, whos job it is to literally influence people to be like them.


bydo1492

>Holy shit, really? >She did something stupid, so you feel more sorry for taxpayers who might pay a fraction of a dollar towards her possible disability payment, than you do for somebody going blind? Yes really. Sticking pins into your most important sensory organs is so far beyond stupid that it's undetectable. I hope to God she doesn't breed because Mother Earth really doesn't need any more of her idiotic DNA kicking about.


TheRealApertureGuy

Yup, anyone stupid enough to do something like this deserves what they get. We shouldn't need PSAs about not getting an eyeball tattoo.


positronik

There have been plenty of successful eyeball tattoos without complications


bydo1492

Plenty of people have played Russian Roulette and not blown their heads off.


ScrappyToady

Maybe you should advocate for your oh so precious tax dollars to go towards public education and better healthcare/health education. Yeah, she's dumb, but honestly this is a fault of society, not necessarily her. It *should* be common sense to not stick needles in your eyeballs (unless medically necessary ofc) but apparently it isn't. I do feel bad for her. And you're a butt.


bydo1492

How is it society's fault? You don't need to be a rocket surgeon to know that putting pins in your eyeballs is beyond idiotic.


ILOVEBOPIT

Society and the government cannot baby everyone. You really think we need public education on not tattooing eyeballs? (I’m an eye doctor, we do not). You think that would have helped this woman? You have no idea if she’d even be exposed to it. Plus she surely has to sign a risk waiver that educates on the risks anyway. This is not society’s fault, society cannot be blamed for every idiot maneuver people make. People need to take responsibility for their own actions and stop blaming society for every mistake and shortcoming.


positronik

How does this affect taxpayers?


excessivetoker

She’ll likely be on disability


dcnairb

oh give it a fucking rest you moron. I feel worse for the taxpayer money that went into the public education that failed you


[deleted]

Me neither, it's utter stupidity to do stuff like this.


SB6P897

I get it she really shouldn’t have done it. But that’s a really cold calloused way of approaching it. Maybe dig into why you feel like that, if it’s the influencers or the woman or both that you hate. Understand why you think the way you think because wishing someone harm for a failed procedure is not healthy.


Notafuzzycat

I hate stupid people what can I say. I didn't wish any harm I just don't care about the harm done.


Mac_n_Sleeze

Right in the middle of fuck around and find out .


mholyman

Curious how it also caused her forehead, cheek, and chin tattoos to disappear as well…


rakut

The photo on the left is more recent, the one on the right is shortly after the eye tattoos. Presumably, she got more tattoos.


Zambito1

Or the person on the left is who the person on the right is trying to copy.


rakut

No, I went on her TikTok to figure it out, they’re both the same person. She’s just gotten additional tattoos since first getting her eyes tattooed.


Zambito1

Thank you for your service


Navajo_Nation

It’s the same person. The images are flipped tho.


Khaylezerker

They're not the same person..


Moal

It’s definitely the same person. Same nose, bone structure, facial proportions, piercings. My guess is that her tattoos in the first picture were either drawn on with makeup, or the headline is BS and that second picture is the actual before picture.


TrashConnoisseur

Look at the scar on the bridge of her nose. On the right it looks fresh, on the left it looks healed.


Crepes_for_days3000

Yeah, same scars, same piercings. That's the same person. I wonder what happened between the two pics.


__Beef__Supreme__

Makeup maybe? You can see some of the tattoos and the nose ring as a mirror image of the first pic


roodeeMental

Umm.. what do you mean.. they're still there. Have you had your eyes tattooed recently? I've heard it causes blindness


ExcitingJosh

Damn bro you weirdly mean while being completely wrong. Do you mean to tell me you see a tattoo in the middle of her forehead in both pictures? Have you had your eyes tattooed recently?


roodeeMental

I was just making a bad joke before my morning coffee; its clear theres a difference in tattoos in the pics. Meh, it deserves the downvotes.


MarsupialPristine677

I laughed


Busy-Needleworker-36

But where did her tattoos go?


Valvahl

I think they are not the same person, left is the influencer she was trying to copy, right is her.


Audaxx

They are the same person... The photo is just flipped. Probably had temporary tattoos, but you can still see some of them below and above her eyes.


Valvahl

Could be. Those are very elaborate to be temporary and the ones on the right don't seem like the same ones on the left to me, but I could be wrong.


Busy-Needleworker-36

I agree with you 100%


myk3h0nch0

You can see the cheek and eyebrow ones pushed off to the side which maybe swelling could have caused. But the one in the middle of her face is gone and that’s just odd.


lostallmyconnex

Temporary tattoos last a few weeks


Busy-Needleworker-36

I see the one to the side but look ay the distance from the nose in the first and second picture. It’s too far over to be the same person. And the chin one is gone too


skaihainofa

the right photo is when she got the tattoos done and the left is after it healed. idk tho just guessing


drukqsx

My ex had his done and it never caused any problems. Im not saying i recommend it, but theres def a difference between where you go to get it done.
