I really have nothing to say to this image gallery detailing the world’s first eyeball tattoo.  Well, nothing to say except, “Ewww, gross!”  That’s not very helpful, I know, but it’s the first thing that springs to mind when these horror-movie quality images reveal themselves. 

The man is apparently from Toronto, and the process took 40 injections of blue ink into his eyeball.  From what I remember from my dad’s laser vision correction surgery, the eye doesn’t actually feel pain, but I guarantee you he had to look up and watch as that needle came closer… and closer… and closer to his unprotected eyeball and had to not blink.  I mean, we’ve talked about some weird tattoos here at PopFi, but this is the weirdest of the weird. 

The first thing I thought of when I saw one of the shots in that gallery was of Lucio Fulci’s 1981 movie, The Beyond, which is infamous for a particular scene involving an eyeball and some gouging.  There’s also a scene in Takeshi Miike’s 1999 classic Audition that involves acupuncture needles and the eyeball that is also incredibly cringeworthy.  Maybe I’ve seen too many horror movies, but that eyeball tattooing process made me shudder!

Follow the bouncing balls!  If you’re a Google user, and you probably are, you’ll notice that the company’s traditional Google doodle logo has changed, yet again.  It’s not something Labor Day-themed, but it’s a bunch of bouncing balls that, when you mouse over them, they start flying around the screen.  When left alone, they eventually [...]

Talk about your oddities!  It’s kind of rare to see a cow with two horns in America, but to see a cow with three horns?  Only in China can you find this kind of weirdness!  When this particular mutant cow was born on Jia Kebing’s farm two years ago, Jia saw the bump on its [...]

On the British sci-fi show Dr. Who, you never really knew where the Doctor and his companions were going to land next thanks to their time-traveling police box known as the TARDIS (short for Time And Relative Dimensions in Space).  That bright blue police box has become an iconic part of science fiction lore, a [...]

There’s a lot of stuff you just have to see to believe.  It may sound crazy, and it is kind of crazy, but John Myers from Bloomfield, New Jersey, turned out to be his own worst enemy and his own best friend.  While visiting beautiful Madison, Wisconsin, for a friend’s wedding, he put his bag [...]

Rachel Stieringer, a 19-year-old from Keystone Heights, Florida, thought she was being really funny when she updated her Facebook page.  She took her infant son and posed him next to/against her massive green bong.  Everyone had a big laugh, except for Rachel and the Keystone Heights police department.  The bong baby’s mama was arrested and [...]

See that little fellow above?  Well, take a good, close look at his photo and tell me what you see.  Aside from the fact that he’s an adorable little guy, that is.  That’s right, he’s got two tiny ears in the middle of his larger ears!  This four-eared cat, named Luntik, was uncovered in a [...]
