A Portland, Ore., man who is known for having more than 98 percent of his body covered in tattoos, has injected ink into both of his eyes — by himself, KPTV.com reported. Matt Gone claims he was born with birth defects that inspired him to hide them using tattoos. He began tattooing his body 20 years ago, and is best known for the checker pattern on his face and chest. "I picked the checker pattern because nobody had done it," Gone said. Gone tattooed his own eyes with two different colors, blue and green. "I never really knew how far I would ever go, and [tattooing my eyes] is about as far as you can go," Gone said.Extreme Body Art
