There are further moves in Canada towards making eye tattooing illegal.
In the province of Manitoba, Scott Johnson (Member of the Legislative
Assembly for St James) has proposed a bill banning “cosmetic eye
tattooing and eye jewellery”. The Association of Optometrists of
Manitoba and the Association of Physicians and Ophthalmologists of
Manitoba have given the proposal their strong support, pointing out the
obvious dangers of such procedures – which were brought to everyone's
attention so dramatically in 2017 by the case of Catt Gallinger, a woman
from Ottawa, who developed severe complications after an eyeball tattoo
went badly wrong [see news item in Total Tattoo Magazine Issue 158]. If
the legislation is passed, Manitoba will become the second Canadian
province to make eye tattooing illegal. It is already banned in Ontario.
