Body modification fanatic gets her eyeballs tattooed black
A tattooist with completely black eyeballs and a split tongue says she’s “addicted” to the pain of body modification, having gotten her first piercing at 15. Anu Karki, 25, a tattoo artist from Nepal, South Asia, says she’s the first woman in her country to get her eyes inked entirely black, with this being her favourite modification so far.
Having grown up “obsessed” with all things body modification and piercings, Anu is now known online as “emo punk”, on account of her unique look. According to Anu, who has various stretchers and tattoos, she falls “in love” with her eyes “every time” she sees them, and feels “so proud” to be the first girl in Nepal to have them inked black.

Anu said: “The most painful body modification for me was my split tongue, as I felt sick for at least a week. I have no idea how much I’ve spent on tattoos because I have my own studio, so I don’t pay for these now. I gave myself my first tattoo about five years ago and a modification about five months ago.”
Altogether, Anu says she’s spent around 365,000 Nepalese Rupee (£2,386) on crafting her eye-catching look and has plans for further transformations going forward. She’s hoping for a tongue tattoo for her next modification but says “this will take some time”.

Anu, who regularly shares footage of her striking look on TikTok, continued: “My dream body modification is horn implants and making my ears pointy, as well as getting a hook, but let’s see. I get a lot of positive and negative reactions, as our culture is different for most girls.
“Society loves a girl with decent clothes, who can become a nice housewife but I don’t like these people who judge. They think tattoos, modifications, and piercings are done by people who take drugs and they don’t understand it’s an addiction getting inked to the pain.
“If they hate or like what I do, I still will do what I want to my body and I won’t regret any of this.”
Despite getting some mixed reactions, Anu – who clocked up more than 45,000 views and one thousand likes with one vid – is confident and happy with the way she looks.
She added: “I hope people will understand that I’m independent and have so many responsibilities. I love myself and I won’t let them hurt my feelings. I’m proud of who I am.”
