A black-and-white photo of a person mid-air in a Superman-style body suspension pose, supported by multiple hooks in their back and legs, smiling joyfully toward the camera. They are suspended horizontally in a large indoor space with high ceilings and visible rigging. A group of onlookers—some seated, some standing—watch with expressions of admiration, amusement, and support. The atmosphere is lively and communal, capturing a moment of shared experience and transformation.

Howie has infiltrated the prison system!

Well maybe not, but the procedure of eyeball tattooing that he has been known to perform has.

Thanks to  Allen Falkner for passing on this video to me.

    @sean, Fair enough reasoning. I retract what I said.

    This is definitely not a trend that I want to see continue to spread throughout the community. It’s dangerous and it’s a bad idea.

    I wish that Shannon had posted more about his multiple trips to the ER/Doctor and that if a person without healthcare, unlike the ability to go to the ER when a mod goes wrong in Canada, they’d have been deep in debt from it.

    I also can’t believe that they were able to do this in prison and weren’t punished for it. I’m sure they had to see a doctor in jail and that cost tax payers even more money to get them checked out.

    I didn’t watch the interview but can someone tell me if they actually have computers in the prison to view BME on? Did they mention getting the details on the procedure from BME?

    I wanted to point out that the claim that this procedure was based on the “concept” of my eye implant is incredibly misleading. Nobody was there to view my procedure and I was not involved in the eyeball tattooing so basing the theory of how to do this procedure from a description that I gave of having my implant done (which I couldn’t see or feel or replicate anything being done to me) is really really off the wall.

    My procedure was done by the head of the Netherlands Institute for Innovative Ocular Surgery which is responsible for research and development of ophthalmic surgical techniques which are then used around the world. This is a huge leap to say one procedure was based on the other.

    I’m fucking stoked to see the DIY approach in this video.

    After Howie did my eye, I went back a few months later, and did a little more on my own.

    DIY FTW!
    (also, giving a pro like Howie your money, for the win!)
