What is an Eyeball Tattoo? An eyeball tattoo is a type of cosmetic body modification. Eyeball tattoos, also known as sclera tattoos, are an emerging trend of injecting ink into the sclera (the white of the eye). 8 Unlike tattooing skin tissue, an artist injects the tattoo ink in between two layers of the eye under the surface of the conjunctiva.
