The variation of eye tattooing comes as a great shock to most people. It seems unlikely that the eyeball is an area that can actually receive any form of pigmentation without suffering major damage.

During the tattooing procedure, the pigment is placed under a thin film on the cornea of the eye; specifically, it is injected between the sclera and the conjunctiva. The pigment then bleeds through the space creating the so-called eye tattoo. Warnings against this variation of eye tattooing include risk of eye-tissue penetration which can potentially damage the tissue and retina impairing overall eye functionality.

Eye tattooing of this nature is generally considered dangerous and unadvisable; however, some people choose to undergo the procedure as an expression of boldness, body ownership and originality.
