Can the white of the eye be tattooed?
Eye tattoo anyone?
Maybe permanently blood shot would be cool!?

Yes. I saw a whole article/blog post about it not too long ago. I’d send over a link, but I’m queasy just thinking about it.
Maybe, if it’s possible, it might be cool, but maybe it wouldn’t be cool at all, at least not for the rest of your whole fucking life. Just something to consider.
Yes, it can be done, often with the assistance of an ophthalmologist. Corneal tattooing is what you’re referring to. (I actually had to look up the spelling of ophthalmologist.. ha.)
I hope not! That’s hardcore.
If you can find an ophthalmologist willing to do that, you need to find another, more ethical and professional ophthalmologist, in my opinion.
“Corneal tattooing is an ancient procedure that was first employed by Galen in 129 AD to disguise leucomata of the eye. The list of indications for tattooing of the cornea has decreased over the centuries due to the progress in both keratoplasty and contact lens fitting. However, current indications may include eccentric corneal scars, contact lens intolerance, complaints of visual disability secondary to light scattering (ie, due to an eccentric pupil or large peripheral iridectomy), and for ocular cosmesis in non-surgical eyes.”

Sometimes the reason is medical.
Yes it can…check This out… looks like fun
Indeed. I found a video about it once.
Wear the costume contacts if you want to change the look of your eye. It is possible, but why on EARTH would you want to do that?

Yeah, I’ve seen it done before. They inject color into the eye.
I watched MSNBC’s Lockup and there were some guys tattooing the whites of their eyes in prison. There is also a place in Amsterdam where you can get a jewel permanently set into your eye.
Probably, but why would you want to do THAT??????
@MRSHINYSHOES google might pay you to put a “g” before your left pupil and “gle” after your right pupil….
@Ltryptophan It just seems like a risky thing to do, not to mention unappealing (well, to me at least). And I’m sure many others would think it’s bizarre too.
@MRSHINYSHOES If your impression of this question is that somehow, I personally, am interested in having the whites of my eyes altered in any way whatever, I am sorry to disappoint you but I have no such interest. Rather, my interest is in everything. Especially things that are out of the ordinary and wildly creative!
@Ltryptophan If you like it and it makes you happy, go for it! :)
@MRSHINYSHOES you might have contextual reference problems in your last comment, maybe I’m wrong.
