Aleksandra Sadowska goes BLIND after dying ‘white part of the eyes’ black

Aleksandra Sadowska, of Wroclaw in the west of Poland has been left completely blind in one eye and will soon lose sight in the other after a tattoo artist botched an attempt to dye her sclera- white part of the eyes black.

The woman had gone to the tattooist after deciding she wanted to emulate a rap artist called Popek, who also had the whites of his eyes dyed black.  The procedure left the 25-year-old model complaining of pains in her eyes which the tattooist is reported to have said was normal and could be treated with painkillers.

Based in the Polish capital Warsaw, the tattoo artist named in local media as Piotr A., is facing three years in prison for unintentionally severely disabling the woman

After losing complete sight in her right eye, Aleksandra was told by doctors that the damage was irreparable and that she would soon lose sight in her left eye too.

During the subsequent investigation it was found that the tattooist had made serious mistakes in the process, including using body ink for tattooing skin, which should not come into contact with the eye.

The tattooist, who still runs his salon where he carries out mainly ear piercings, has now been charged, four years after Aleksandra's ordeal began. He has pleaded not guilty. The court case is expected to start soon.
