Don't it make my whole eye blue.

Posted by apostropher

Genital piercing? Sure, if you're a coward. Real men get their eyes tattooed.

For body-art enthusiasts have developed a new technique that gives a whole new meaning to beauty being in the eye of the beholder. What is thought to be the first ever "eyeball tattoo" has been inflicted on a man in Toronto - good news, perhaps, for anyone who ever dreamed of having blue eyes.
The tattooer injected ink into the eyeball of volunteer Pauly Unstoppable using a needle, until his eye was completely blue. Just in case you weren't yet feeling squeamish enough, bear in mind that it took more than 40 tries before the eye was filled with ink. The blue substance used was mixed with antibiotic eyewash.
The experiment was carried out for Canadian company ModProm, with those taking part insisting that Pauly would not go blind.

Oh yes, of course there's a picture.

Update: More pictures of Mr. Unstoppable.

Man tries to have sex with goat, fails .

Really, could you ask for a story with more pathos than that?

I have to say genital piercing still seems worse.

Next, he's off to Kaitan to demand details from the Emperor. The spice must flow.

It's probably funnier as a non sequitur, now that you mention it.

I wonder how that tattoo looks and/or behaves under MRI scans. Is there anything metallic or magnetic in the mix?

Don't it make your brown eyes blue.
This guy and the sucker-boy should get together...in a cage. They could pass the time between exhibition times by piercing each others genitals.

I really can't see what people see in this.

But I suspect that the guy doing the injections could be prosecuted for engaging in the medical profession without a proper license - after all, and eyeball is NOT skin.
