With All The Sympathy I Can Muster, You Don't Need To Warn Me.

I'm Not A Retard. 

How many people in her childhood told her "Don't stick shit in your eyes."

The story from Canada, September 2017.

OTTAWA, Ontario – A Canadian woman posted graphic images of her eye leaking purple dye after she says a risky tattoo on her eyeball that may leave her partially blind.
Catt Gallinger, a 24-year-old body modification enthusiast from Ottawa, is trying to warn others after getting a “scleral tattoo,” which consists of injecting ink into the white part of the eyeball.
Gallinger says she’s considering legal action and thinks the artist used the wrong needle, which forced undiluted dye too deep into her eye, according to CTV News.
Gallinger is currently meeting with specialists and says she’s had several trips to the hospital after the tattoo caused a “hemorrhage and sclera tearing.”
She says her vision is blurry and she sees double. Because of the location of the tattoo, there is only so much doctors will be able to do.
“You can’t laser it away like you can on your skin,” Dr. Setareh Ziai, an assistant professor of ophthalmology at the University of Ottawa Eye Institute told Global News. “No physician in their right mind would ever recommend this to anyone.”
Gallinger said she is starting to accept that she will never have her vision fully restored. There is also a possibility that the eye may have to be removed if ink moves to the retina, causing nerve damage.  “As far as I’m being told right now, I will be able to keep my eye,” she said.
