Republican State Sen. John Ruckelshau­s of Indianapol­is is the proud sponsor of a new measure in Indiana that bans eyeball tattooing. According to the proposed law, passed by both the Senate and the House, tattooists would be prohibited from coloring the whites of a customer’s eyes, with a fine of up to $10,000 per violation. The Associated Press reported that Sen. Ruckelshau­s admitted he’s not aware of any problems with eyeball-tattooing in Indiana. The legislatio­n was on Gov. Eric Holcomb’s desk for his signature on March 1.
