Model left crying purple tears after eyeball tattoo goes wrong

Sep 30, 2017: A model has lost the sight in one of her eyes after getting a tattoo on her eyeball.

 

Catt Gallinger said that the decision to get the tattoo was a ‘massive mistake’ and she is facing a long recovery from the procedure.

At one point it appeared as though she was crying purple tears from her sclera tattooo as residue escaped.

She said that she got the tattoo so that she would ‘feel more at home in my body’, but now she’s warning others of the dangers and urging them to do research.

 

Catt, from Ottawa, Canada, said: ‘As it stands I will have to see a specialist and am at risk of being blind if it doesn’t get corrected.

‘This was caused by undiluted ink, over injection, not enough/smaller injections sights.

‘There are multiple people who can attest that my aftercare was good and any other part of what I am saying.

‘I am NOT sharing this with you to cause trouble, I am sharing this to warn you to research who you get your procedures by as well as how the procedure should be properly done.

‘I have been to the hospital three times, I had no furry pets to cause any dander, and I wash my hands every time I do anything with my eye, both before and afterwards.

‘I was on antibiotic drops for the first week and a half and have been on steroid drops for four days now, with little success at bringing down the internal swelling. The external swelling lasted for almost a week.

‘The photos show the day of (purple drop), the day after(swollen shut) and now three weeks later.

‘Just please be cautious who you get your mods from and do your research. I don’t want this to happen to anyone else.’

In a recent update she said that the pain and irritation are lessening, but her eyesight is not better.

She added: ‘The colour appears to be lighter but that may just be due to the ink shifting around.’
