man tattoos his own eyes

Not with a design or anything, just color of course but it's just as dangerous, or is it?


WAFB.com, Louisiana's news channel did a story on a man in Oregon who had his 98% of his body covered in tattoos.

Matt Gone is a tattoo extremist whose birth defects prevented some of the muscles in his body from developing properly and inspired him to get his first tattoo nearly 22 years ago.

"The tattoos make me not hate my body, even though my body seems to be hating me," he said.

Gone had his eyes inked two different colors. His doctors have expressed concern with the ink in his eyes causing infection, but Gone is assured that the procedure is safe.

"I patch tested it and was successful," he recalled. "I had to take the risk. I've done that a lot of times before. I'm not crazy. I'm trained. I have a lot of experience."

Doctors still disagree and think he has gone too far.

"The risk of putting a needle near your eye is grave," said Dr. Douglas Meier, an ophthalmologist with the Portland Clinic.

With 98% of his body inked including his eyes, Gone thinks that just about enough.

"I never really knew how far I would ever go," he said. "And this is about as far as you can go."

lizard man and cat man!

I'm sure most people have come across them, but I found 2 interesting people who took tattoos to a whole new level.

Meet, the Lizard Man. Seen on TV shows like Ripley's Believe it or Not and on the History Channel in a tattoo segment, he has turned himself literally into a lizard.

Kim Acrylic from punkglobe.com was able to chat with him.

Kim:"Where was your first tattoo?"
Lizard Man: "A design on the back right shoulder."


Kim: "Let me guess you spend millions?"
Lizard Man: "Nope cause I haven't made millions."




Don't forget the Cat Man.

He's been on the same TV shows as Lizard Man and has also used tattoos to give him 'the cat look.'


Tattoos are something that people get to change or better their appearance. With these two people, they used tattoos to transform into something else. Should tattoos be used to add color or flair to a body, or should they be used to completely change your body? Tattoos already have a history of their own, mostly negative so these people raise the questions; "how much is too much?" and "are tattoos for adding or change to the human body?"

REMEMBER: we don't judge we just say what we see. And these two people are unique in their own way, just like everyone else in the world.
