A Brazilian woman has left the internet open-mouthed in horror after sharing video footage of herself having her eyeballs tattooed black – prompting outrage from viewers who have warned that she could ‘go blind’.

Kiki Mary, from Brazil, shocked users when she posted a video of her getting the whites of eyes tattooed with black ink. 

The two-part series, which has amassed over 2.1 million views collectively, boasted her unusual look and had users covering their eyes as the syringe inched closer to hers.

Are eye tattoos worth it? The risks of getting inked in the eye

  • Temporary or permanent blindness
  • Retinal detachment 
  • Sensitivity to light
  • Loss of the entire eye 

The first video showed a tattoo artist injecting black ink into one of her eyeballs with a syringe before pouring water into her eye. 

After she dropped some water into Kiki’s eye, the tattoo artist then patted her eye dry with gauze. 

Kiki then opens her eyes to show off her new look that sees her right being filled with black ink. 

And if one video wasn’t enough to get users stomachs turning, the Brazilian woman then shared a close up of her getting her left eye tattooed with the same black ink. 

Giving the camera a worried look, Kiki prepares to have black ink injected into her eye as the artist inches closer. 

The same procedure is used in the second video, but this time the artist gives users a more in depth look at her work as she opens Kiki’s eye and rotates her head so viewers can see the black ink from all angles. 

Viewers were horrified by the footage as many questioned why Kiki would risk going ‘blind.’ 

One user said: ‘Why? Just why?’ 

Another questioned: ‘Why ruin your natural beautiful eyes?’

‘Why risk going blind,’ said another user

‘This is something I’ll fully never ever understand,’ added another user.

And the social media users were right to be concerned especially because other women know the risks far too well. 

Anaya Peterson, from Ireland, tattooed her eyes bright blue, taking inspiration from Australian model Amber Luke, who was said to have gone blind for three weeks after the procedure and even cried blue tears.

‘I don’t have 20/20 vision anymore. From a distance, I can’t see features on faces. 

‘If I didn’t have my eyeballs tattooed, I wouldn’t be having this problem. Even today I woke up with more floaters in my eyes. And that is dangerous,’ Anaya told Kennedy News.

Anaya noted that after she was inked she had to be rushed to the hospital due to the severe swelling.

‘I’m kind of recovered — on the outside, it’s recovered. It’s just inside. I’m basically on the verge of going blind,’ she said.,

Aleksandra Sadowska, from Poland, also went blind after having the whites of eyes tattooed black – the exact same procedure as Kiki. 

Aleksandra ultimately sued her tattoo artist, who was found guilty of permanent disability. 

According to the Academy of Ophthalmology, having your eyeballs tattooed eyeballs – also known as scleral tattoos – is not a traditional form of tattooing, meaning that those performing the procedure are not formally trained or certified to give scleral tattoos. 

According to WebMd, these tattoos are highly dangerous. 

After a series of eye tattoos went wrong, laws began to change in the 2010. 

Now, eyeball tattooing is banned in Oklahoma, Indiana and Washington.
