Eyeball tattooing is reportedly gaining traction in Australia, despite medical professionals warning it can cause blindness and cancer. At least 20 Australians have permanently inked their sclera – the white area around the iris – in the practice founded by American body modification specialist, Luna Cobra.
Despite optometrists cautioning the dangers of the practice, people are increasingly undergoing the sclera inking in a bid to stand out.
‘I think it’s just becoming a trend among people that just want to be super-extreme. But the worry is that they are just getting anyone to do it — or doing it themselves,’ Luna Cobra told News Corp.
His practice, which was inspired from a friend photoshopping his eyes in an image, involves injecting ink directly into the eyeball, which spreads and colors the white of the eye.
