Video reveals horrific danger of EYEBALL tattooing - woman 'blinded' by extreme body modification
A shocking video shows how an OnlyFans model almost lost her eye after an attempt to tattoo it bright yellow went horribly wrong. Mary Magdalene already had the white of her left eye tattooed black, but wanted to get her right eye inked neon green to look like a 'mutant hybrid apocalyptic otherworldly goddess.' However, just hours after the procedure, the yellow ink injected during the process began to clump near her tear duct, and then seeped into her lower eyelids. 'There's a big clump in the corner that isn't spreading—it's like it's stuck there,' she said in a TikTok video that has so far been viewed over 102,00 times. She continued: 'It's completely bruised and completely bloodshot.' 'I don't want them to amputate [sic] my eye for no reason but I woke up just now and have so much light sensitivity in both eyes. I can barely even see.' The Mexican-born influencer, whose real name is Denise, already has most of her body tattooed, having inked her arms and chest pure black last year. In a series of videos following the procedure, Denise asked her followers for advice, as her eye began to swell dramatically until she couldn't see. 'I think I should go to the ER,' she said. 'I don't know if I should wait it out. One second I think it's okay, then the next second I look at it and it looks more swollen to me.' Eventually, after seeking medical advice at a nearby hospital, Denise was given medication to bring down the swelling and was told to return the following morning for further tests on her eye. She claims that doctors warned her that she may have to undergo an enucleation procedure—an operation to remove her entire eye—if her symptoms deteriorated overnight. 'The doctor was really aggressive. He was just saying the most dramatic things like "you're going to need to get your eye removed probably",' Denise recalled. Despite showing no improvement in her symptoms, the model—who charges almost $30 (£22) a month for her explicit content—was hesitant to return to the hospital, in case medics recommended surgery to remove her eye. 'I just don't know what to do,' she said to her followers in one of the clips. 'I'm just nervous to go to the hospital and then they don't know what to do with this type of case and then they're trying to amputate my eye. 'I was feeling optimistic when I woke up today, but I can't open my eye. When I use the doctor's medication, it burns,' she added. Denise then sought a second opinion from an ophthalmologist after she started vomiting and experiencing visual disturbances in both eyes. After four days, however, her vision began to improve and the swelling started to go down. 'When I open [my eye] I can see, but it doesn't stay open it's so swollen,' she shared in an update. Whilst her original plan was to incorporate green and yellow tones to create a 'psychedelic effect', the adult creator will likely have to undergo surgery to drain the excess ink from her eye. This comes following a string of cosmetic procedure that set the OnlyFans model back more than £110,000. In an emotional post, shared in 2023, she admitted that she had been 'trapped in a never ending cycle' of plastic surgery and was constantly going under the knife to fix botched procedures. The model originally rose to fame after getting an illegal procedure to create 'the world's fattest vagina' in a surgery that almost killed her. In 2023 she admitted that maintaining her head-turning aesthetic 'is not worth all the unnecessary stress.' 'It's not a fun little adventure anymore, it's just draining in every possible way,' she said. 'My time gets drained, my bank account, my energy, my health. And in the long run, you just kind of end up digging yourself into a really expensive time-consuming hole.' Experts have previously warned against any procedure which permanently changes the colour of someone's eyes due to the risk of infection and vision changes. This includes corneal tattooing, laser depigmentation and iris implant surgery. Whilst these procedures are sometimes used to treat an eye injury or existing medical condition, when used solely for cosmetic reasons, there are a number of risks to be considered. Dr James Tsai, president of New York Eye and Ear Infirmary of Mount Sinai, told ABC News: 'These risks can be sight-threatening and can include glaucoma, cataract and corneal problems.' Instead, if you're not happy with the colour of your eyes, specialists recommend contact lenses that can allow the wearer to completely change their eye colour. It comes as shocking research published earlier this year found getting a tattoo could nearly triple your risk of certain cancers. Danish and Finish scientists analysed data from over 2,000 twins, comparing cancer rates in those who inked up versus those who didn't. They found those who had a tattoo were up to 62 per cent more likely to be diagnosed with skin cancer—but those with ink larger than the palm of the hand, were at a significantly increased risk. For these people, the risk of skin cancer increased by a shocking 137 per cent and for lymphoma—a deadly type of blood cancer—the risk soared to 173 per cent. They said their findings were concerning given the rising popularity of tattoos in European nations, particularly among younger generations.

Drunk man impales EYE after falling face-first on to ornament – narrowly missing his brain
A man was so drunk he impaled his eye after falling over on to a sharp figurine that went in so deep it barely missed his brain. The 39-year old from Coventry tripped on a rug at his home and fell onto a 15cm statuette of an eagle which was standing on his fireplace. The eagle's wing became stuck in his right eye socket and he was rushed to hospital while still conscious. A CT scan found the wing had pierced through the eye's orbit into his sinus cavity and narrowly missed his brain. He was given antibiotics and a tetanus vaccination to prevent infection, and doctors were able to safely remove the figurine. They found he had suffered a haemorrhage in the right eye and lost vision, according to medical reports first published by Need To Know. Doctors say the man was lucky to make a 'good' recovery, as he suffered a serious condition where blood pools in the front part of the eye, between the cornea and the iris. Blunt trauma is the most common cause and can lead to scarring, vision problems, and even permanent vision loss. Common symptoms include blood in the eye, sensitivity to light, pain and vision changes. Had the figurine reached the man's brain, it could have caused a bleed in the organ, which can lead to severe brain damage, coma and even death. Following the surgery, scans revealed he had damage to his eye but nothing further. His right eye's vision was affected, with a visual acuity of 6/60—meaning that at six meters, a person can see what someone with normal vision can see at 60 meters. This is the minimum threshold for legal blindness in the UK. A person with 6/6 vision is the benchmark for what optometrists consider 'normal', meaning someone can see at six meters what a person with normal vision can see at the same distance.

Man impales eagle statue into his eye socket & also narrowly misses his brain after falling on it in horror accident
A MAN has impaled his eye on an eagle figurine, which narrowly missed his brain, in a freak accident. The man, 38, nearly died after he tripped on a rug at his Coventry home and fell onto a 15cm brass statuette on his fireplace. 3 3 To his horror, the wing became lodged in his right eye and he was rushed to hospital - all while being fully conscious. A CT scan revealed found the object had pierced through the eye socket into his sinus cavity, narrowly missing his brain. He required a neurosurgeon, ENT specialist and an ophthalmologist to work on safely removing the wing. They found evidence of a haemorrhage in the anterior chamber of the right orbit - a fluid-filled space right behind your cornea. And, the medial canthal tendon was also partially severed. This is a crucial structure that forms the inner corner of the eye and connects the upper and lower eyelids. Despite the traumatic injury, doctors have given the man an "optimistic" prognosis. He was treated in hospital for a week and given antibiotics, as well as a tetanus toxoid vaccination. The patient now has a visual acuity of 6/60 from his right eye. A visual acuity of 6/60 means that at a distance of six meters, a person with this acuity can see details that someone with normal vision could see at 60 meters. It is often classified as severe or even legal blindness. But a post-op CT scan showed only a defect in the lamina papyracea, a paper-like plate of bone that forms the inner wall of the eye socket. Doctors confirmed the man made a speedy recovery and he is in stable condition. This comes after doctors were force to pull a motorcycle brake handle from a teenager's eye after it got stuck during a horror road accident. What to do if there is a foreign object in your eye Gently flush your eye with clean water to try and remove the object Blinking can also help to dislodge the object Keep your eye closed until you can be seen by a medical professional Avoid rubbing the eye When to go to the emergency room If the object is embedded in the eye If there is severe pain, swelling, or blurred vision If there are white patches on the cornea If the object can't be flushed out Miraculously, the boy, 19, escaped with no major injuries or lasting sight problems, docs said. Sharing gory details and pictures of the freak accident in a journal, medics in Malaysia revealed how the lever missed his eyeball by just millimetres. Firefighters were said to have cut the brake handle from the bike at the scene of the crash so that paramedics could get to him. The bike handle was awkwardly protruding from his right eye socket, slightly to the left of his eyeball. After an examination, doctors discovered his retina, the layer of tissue at the back of the eye that helps us see, was damaged and cloudy. CT scans revealed the handle had pierced the lower eye socket and damaged part of the bone around his nose. The 17cm handle had luckily missed his pupil and nerves, which meant he narrowly escaped long-term eye damage. Elswhere, a shocking video revealed the moment doctors discovered the horrifying truth behind a patient's sore eye. A 34-year-old man attended an eye hospital in China and claimed that something was lodged in his eye ball. He said he felt as though there was a 'foreign body' and itching in his right eye. What the experts found left the man horrified.
