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.’
