A model from Ottawa, Canada, whose artist ex-boyfriend attempted to tattoo her eyeball with purple ink could have permanent vision loss.

According to the model Gallinger the ex-boyfriend bungled the procedure by using a needle that was too big, sticking it in too deeply and using “pure ink” instead of ink diluted with saline.

She said they had been only together for a month but have known each other for years and thought she could trust him with the procedure because he had a portfolio but she was wrong.

According to her she went to hospital immediately because she experienced pain and swelling, but that doctors sent her home because they weren’t sure something was wrong.

She went to a second doctor when she was still experiencing symptoms weeks later. The medical professional was apparently horrified.

She said she is scheduled for surgery next week as she is still experiencing pain and blurry vision.

However the ex-boyfriend has defended the procedure and blamed her for not taking care of her eyes after the procedure and for not using eye drops as he had recommended.

After the photo of model eye went viral, popular science published a primer on how scleral tattoos; that is tattoo on the white part of the eye works.

But experts say the procedure is dangerous in general that what happened to Gallinger is an extreme version of possible risks.

A safer option is a surgical corneal tattoo performed by a qualified ophthalmic surgeon, according to PopSci. Corneal tattoos are typically performed as a type of reconstructive cosmetic surgery, or to improve eyesight.

She said that the aftermath of the tattoo is also taking a toll on her mental health.

“At this point, every day is different,” she said. “Some days I feel a bit better, other days I kind of want to give up.”
