Sclera tattoos are becoming more popular, which consists of getting the white part of the eye colored but experts advise against it. These types of tattoos are extremely dangerous and can cause you to go blind. The same goes for Halloween decorative lenses, which are often sold online.
Catt Gallinger had a sclera tattoo on her right eye and after the procedure, a purple liquid began to ooze out of her eye.
