CATT GALLINGER, 24. |
Catt Gallinger, a 24-year-old from Ottawa, got a new tattoo this month, and it could cost her an eye. The former pet nutritionist received a sclera tattoo, a body modification procedure that involves tattooing the eyeball, and has lost partial vision as a result. There’s a possibility she could end up losing her eye altogether.

Gallinger is now telling her story in an effort to spread the word about the dangers of sclera tattoos. In a series of posts and videos shared on Facebook, she is tracking her recovery, her treatment and the medications she has been prescribed. She also shot a Facebook Live video to answer questions from viewers and followers.

Gallinger is a body modification enthusiast, who’s covered in tattoos and has had her tongue surgically split. The sclera tattoo just seemed like the next logical step in her exploration.
“I have a lot of friends who have had it done and it worked for them,” she tells Global News. “I’m not jumping on the bandwagon or anything, but body modification is part of my life. I had been thinking about doing it for a while.”
