A model has claimed people say she’s gone ‘too far’ after having her eyeballs tattooed

Sarah Sabbath, from El Paso, Texas, has insisted that she will keep having ‘random stuff’ inked on her skin, despite the criticism.

The tattoo artist told the Daily Star: “My tattoos are a part of me so [my family and friends] can’t really see me without them.

“But yes they are supportive – of course, they also think I went too far.”

She continued: “I got my first tattoo on my back and it was my baby brother’s name.

“I love art and expressing myself. I honestly just have a lot of random stuff.”

Sabbath’s tattoos range from blooming flowers and snakes on her thighs to a lotus design on her chin but she has no plans to stop anytime soon.

“I plan to get some blackwork soon. On my hips,” she told the publication.

Blackwork is a specific tattoo style that involves turning the skin completely opaque and black.

Although this sounds pretty experimental, Sabbath has had much more risky work done in the past.

Previously, she had her eyeballs tattooed, which is known to cause blindness when done incorrectly.

Currently, the process is illegal in the UK.

“I got them, I think, four years ago. I like the way they look,” Sabbath said. “It was uncomfortable!”

According to the model, the procedure didn’t go entirely to plan when the ‘guy didn’t put enough saline solution into it’.

She claimed: “There was too much ink and not enough water solution so I went blind from my eye tattoos.

“I had a very difficult time doing anything – I could not watch TV, I didn’t like being around bright lights and I didn’t like being outside.

“I got very, very depressed from it.”
