    A woman has been left completely blind in one eye and will soon lose sight in the other after a tattoo artist botched an attempt to dye her eyeballs black.

    Aleksandra Sadowska from the city of Wroclaw in the west of Poland had gone to the tattooist after deciding she wanted to emulate a rap artist called Popek, who also had the whites of his eyes dyed black.

    The bungled procedure left the 25-year-old model complaining of pains in her eyes which the tattooist is reported to have said was normal and could be treated with painkillers.

    Based in the Polish capital Warsaw, the tattoo artist named in local media as Piotr A., is facing three years in prison for unintentionally severely disabling the woman.

    After losing complete sight in her right eye, Aleksandra was told by doctors that the damage was irreparable and that she would soon lose sight in her left eye too.

    During the subsequent investigation it was found that the tattooist had made serious mistakes in the process, including using body ink for tattooing skin, which should not come into contact with the eye.

    The woman's lawyers told local media: 'There is clear evidence that the tattoo artist did not know how to perform such a delicate procedure.

    'And yet he decided to perform it which led to this tragedy.'
    I have a fairly libertarian view of this stuff even if I think most of it is incredibly stupid but fooling around with somebody's eyes is not for gifted amateurs. Blindness is completely different from having laughable skin, junk jewelry in your face, or some drooling speech impediment from tongue-splitting.

    This kind of thing should be done by a board certified ophthalmologist, if it is ever done.

    Terrible, and proof that stupid does sometimes hurt.

    This is a case where proper government oversight is warranted. Procedures like this should be illegal.

      Very sad and grotesque.

      Don't tattoo your eyeballs, boys and girls.

          OK, so I've never had a tattoo, never had any interest in getting a tattoo (couldn't come up with something that I wanted to be that permanent, and I'm deathly afraid that if I get Chinese characters, they'll actually spell "exploding chicken" instead of the profound statement that I thought it was). My ex, however, has numerous tattoos, and I've been present for a couple of them. That hardly makes me an expert, but I do get the general idea that much of the process involves using a tool that repeatedly jabs a needle into the flesh to seat the ink.

          Can someone please tell me who in the flaming blue fuck wants to do that to their EYEBALL?!?!?!!!??!!

              Could be. Her 'before' pix show a dishwater blonde but she apparently liked to dye her hair red at one point.

              Having been lashed with freckles over every part of my body exposed to the sun, I can tell you that facial and hand freckles fade by the time you are in your twenties to early thirties. Not so for the others. They will reappear with exposure but not as dark as they were when you 6 are years old. My freckles on arms and legs can be detected in the winter but they are very, very faint until summer and they don't get as dark as they did when I was a kid. Ditto for my birthmark.

              Tattooing freckles is a thing now but it's gonna look weird when you hit 40.
