Quest Gulliford, a TikTok star and cancer survivor, has spent over $70,000 on tattoos since 2009. His latest viral video reveals his daring decision to tattoo his eyeballs. Gulliford stated, “It was definitely high risk, high reward, especially since I’ve wanted it done for so long… and I’m still very happy with it three years later.” The eye transformation alone cost him $10,000.

The procedure took place in Houston, Texas, requiring significant mental preparation. Gulliford admitted, “It took me a long time actually on the day once I walked into the shop to even psych myself up to get it done.” The unconventional tattoo involves a needle penetrating all sides of the eyeball, unlike traditional skin tattoos.

Gulliford plans to return to the same artist next month to enhance his eye ink further, demonstrating his commitment to self-expression. His tattoos are a testament to his resilience, including symbols of his victorious battle against Hodgkin’s Lymphoma.

Gulliford’s body art tells his life story, from his first tattoo, a cross with ‘God First,’ to a purple cancer ribbon marking his struggle with cancer. Reflecting on his health journey, he shared, “I had a big lymph node growing… It was about six months of chemotherapy. I felt like I had superhuman strength following that experience.”
