The Indiana Legislature has approved a bill to effectively ban the practice of eyeball tattooing. The measure comes after news reports last fall about an Ottawa woman who had major complications from getting an eye tattooed purple. She was still in pain and required constant eye drops in late November, when she last spoke to CBC News. Under the Indiana proposal, tattooists would be prohibited from colouring the whites of an individual's eyes. Ontario added an eyeball tattoo ban to a patient protection bill, which passed in December.
