  1. I lost my left eye & I find it so amazing when I look at these eye tattoos. I really want one done I’m just not sure who could do it. I know It would be painful but worth every tear. Many ppl r shallow & it hurts my feelings & I get so embarrased. It is zn awful feeling. Plz help me :~

    • I also lost my right eye, be strong and take care of your other eye. We don’t value the importance of our sight until we encounter ourselves in these circumstances. I also want one but I haven’t found the right drawing or an eye that I like. I guess I’ll take a picture of my son’s eye and find someone who can do it right. Be strong!
