But Gallinger hadn't done enough research and gave in too soon to pressure from her boyfriend, she said.ĭuring the procedure, Gallinger said he made many errors. So Gallinger said getting a sclera tattoo seemed like the next step. "She already has about 25 tattoos on her body, and has undergone another risky procedure to split her tongue to make it appear forked. Gallinger identified the person as her then-boyfriend, a body modification artist, to Time magazine: It is my fault that I gave in when they repetitively asked me to do my eye." "The procedure was done by someone who told me that they were experienced, Gallinger said in a September 25 video. In early updates, Gallinger accused the person who had tattooed her eyeball of misstating his qualifications and training and said she planned to take legal action. Gallinger did not respond to initial interview requests from The Post and did not respond to follow-up messages sent Saturday through Facebook and GoFundMe. "But, the past is done, and the facts are clear, has been victimised." "I know many people do not understand the choice to get the tattoo," the fundraiser stated. I'm so tired of it all."Ībout a month ago, Gallinger started a GoFundMe account to raise money to cover the cost of her medications and for transportation to her medical appointments. "Since I've always been honest on here, I will continue to be. I CANNOT open it at all without significant effort," Gallinger wrote November 24. The skipped surgery meant she was now at high risk for eye loss, though she would still explore sedated surgery options, she said. Gallinger said she attempted to go in for a surgery without sedation November 23, only to suffer the "worst panic attack in my life". "If I miss a day and it dries out it's very likely it can cause a very serious sight-loss issue as well as tear or dissolve completely in that spot," Gallinger wrote in late October. She has spent weeks moisturising the eye with artificial tears to combat a thinning cornea. Instead, a swollen layer of lavender has settled upon where the white of her affected eye should be. However, she claimed her doctors were unfamiliar with what could be done, as they had never handled such a case before. More than two months later, Gallinger's prognosis has not improved, despite some hope early on that she could undergo surgery to remove excess ink from her eye. "This video has me, like, so worked up! The whole point of me being public, the whole point of me telling my story, the whole point of everything is to create awareness against that, is to help people realise the damage that could be done." "Risky is, oh, I might get a scar for it or oh, it might cause a little bit of bruising. In a Facebook Live session November 17, Gallinger took issue with a video she had seen online that characterised sclera staining as "cool" but "risky". On November 10: "As you can tell, the eye is swelling again. It's blurry again, so that's not the greatest thing." "The pain sits in along my socket and in behind the eye, and it feels like something's trying to push its way out," she said in a Facebook video November 5. "I would like to see in the future, a bit more open-mindedness when it comes to body modifications and tattooing.Purple ink started dripping from the model's eye virtually straight away.
