The opposition party said that the government clearly stipulated in a number of medical amendments promulgated in June, 5438+09 that eyeball tattoo, that is, eyeball staining, is a legal act. The amendment states that "eyeball tattoos, tongue rings and tongue lines are all skin penetrating behaviors". Eyeball tattoo refers to injecting one or more color dyes into the whites of the eyes.
Skinner, director of health, said that all in all, any human body piercing needs to be managed, but he also said that the possibility of banning eyeball staining for cosmetic reasons cannot be ruled out. "I'm asking whether eye tattoos are in line with medical common sense. If I find that it violates medical common sense, I will consider banning this practice. "
A website providing eye tattoo service pointed out the danger of this practice, saying, "Yes, some people are blind because of eye tattoo". Secord, an opposition health spokesman, thinks eye tattoos are dangerous. "Unlike ear piercing, eyeball tattoos have great health risks, and inferior dyes may also increase the risk of blindness and cancer. This is completely irresponsible. I don't understand why the Baird government still wants to manage or even admit that the behavior is legal. "
Secord said that doctors also indicated that NSW had at least 20 cases of eyeball tattoos. Adlen Schell of the Optometry Center in New South Wales pointed out that there is no evidence that eye tattoos are becoming popular. He said that in view of the possible risks, optometrists think it is best not to dye the eyeball.
Adlen said: "This method will stain many parts of the eyeball, which may lead to infection and blindness. Because of this, some states and other countries in the United States prohibit eye tattoos. This is different from traditional tattoos. Being in good condition at present does not mean that there will be no complications in the future. Sometimes, the eyeball injected with black dye will even transfer the dye to the face and eyelid tissue. "
