not for the squeamish: the world's first eyeball tattoo

We have seen people with tattoos on arms, hands, stomach, back, knees feet... virtually any and every part of the body.

But finally, we have something completely new: an eyeball tattoo.

That's right. A man from Canada volunteered to be the first to try out the new procedure. He had the white of his eye colored blue.

The procedure required a needle to be inserted into his eyeball forty times.

After the procedure was finished, the volunteer (named only as Pauly) had some sage advice: don't try this at home. The Sun quotes Pauly as saying: "The procedure was extensively researched and done by people who were aware of the risks and possible complications and that it should not be casually attempted."

Thanks for the warning, Pauly, I was thinking about trying this in my kitchen.
