Where does a tattoo enthusiast look when he runs out of skin? For Matt Gone, the answer was obvious.



Gone -- who estimates he has covered more than 98 percent of his body with ink -- recently tattooed his own eyeballs.



I never really knew how far I would ever go, and [tattooing my eyes] is about as far as you can go, he told Fox 12.



The Portland, Ore., resident started getting tattoos about 20 years ago to mask birth defects that left him with some undeveloped muscles. Since then, he's adorned his body with elaborate images and a unique checkerboard design.



But his latest tattoos are certainly his most eye-catching.



I picked different colors cause I like mutations because I have birth defects, said Gone, who injected blue ink into his left eye and blue and green ink into his right.



Ophthalmologists say they don't like the looks of eye tattoos, arguing they can lead to infection that could cause blindness or even the loss of an eye.



Gone isn't the first person to get an eye tattoo, and he says he carefully patch tested before doing the deed.



Though he's proud of his own work, he doesn't want to see others duplicate it.



I'm glad I [tattooed my eyes] -- I got lucky -- but it's your risk and I'm not going to help you, he said. I did this for me, this is my project, my body.

Weirdo.

Creepy, I personally see nothing wrong with a tattoo or two as it could truly be a rather intriguing way to express ones self however, numerous tend to over do it much like people tend to over do it with other things like piercings.
 
Some of the people with tons of tattoos look cool, but I don't think he does...



Eye tattoos are stupid. Seriously, I don't see the point in them.
 
It would be seriously creepy if he managed to actually do his eyeballs instead of his eyelids.
 
This seriously is one of the sickest things I have ever read. He's very lucky he didn't blind himself doing this. If I ever saw this guy in person, I think I would

, actually, I've talked to a couple of my friends and even my mother about it and they've stated that there are numerous locations that actually have tattooing your eyes as a regular thing, yuck.
 
I didn't even think that would be possible...



It would be kind of interesting to meet someone like that though XD.
