Woman Warns Others After Eye Tattoo Goes Horribly Wrong

**Some of the images in this story are graphic**

Meet 24 year old Catt Gallinger from Ottawa.

A few weeks ago Catt received what’s called a scleral tattoo which is the practice of tattooing the white parts of the eye, unfortunately, it didn’t work out so good…

According to her, “this was caused by undiluted ink, over injection, not enough/smaller injections sights.”

 

Her doctors apparently told her that she would be unlikely to regain full vision in her eye.

Her reasons for sharing her story and video?

She says, “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.”

She posted the following update on her Facebook page yesterday (you can read the full post below):

“There is a lot of buildup around my cornea so that is a concern at this point however my eyesight is still holding so that’s good.

 Next week I have an appointment to check how well the meds have worked and take a look at my cornea and the surrounding area again.

I will be looking at surgery some time after that (most likely Thursday) to remove the excess ink from my eye.
The surgery itself should not damage my vision further.”
