After a life-changing car crash, Pavel lost his nose and one eye. With diabetes complicating surgeries, he eventually chose to remove his remaining eye to protect his health.
Instead of a glass prosthetic, Pavel opted for a hyperrealistic tattoo—something never attempted before. A skilled medical tattoo artist spent a year studying his photos, mixing custom pigments, and practicing on synthetic skin to create the illusion of an eye.
