In a remarkable fusion of art, dedication, and creative audacity, tattoo artist Stoke Lucero, owner of Nocturnal Tattoo in Lakewood, Colorado, has earned a Guinness World Record for the most eyeball tattoos on a male body — a milestone years in the making.
Lucero didn’t embark on this journey to chase fame. His achievement emerged from a deep commitment to his craft and a long-standing partnership with client Chadwyck Minson, who wanted a leg sleeve unlike any other. What started as a bold artistic idea — a full leg covered entirely in eyeball tattoos — evolved into something visionary.
Over the course of several years, Lucero painstakingly inked 100 unique eyeballs onto Minson’s right leg. Each one was crafted with its own detail and flair — some hinting at animalistic origins, others adding to a surreal, almost watchful mosaic that now defines the leg sleeve.
“It was never just about breaking a record,” Lucero said. “It was about telling a story — about perception, protection, vision — through the lens of tattoo art.”
For Minson, the sleeve represents personal symbolism and spiritual depth. For Lucero, it was a test of artistic discipline, precision, and the power of sticking with a singular concept and pushing it as far as it could go.
Tattoo enthusiasts and artists around the world have praised the project as a blend of dedication and surreal creativity — a record that speaks to the transformative potential of body art.
With the Guinness World Record now officially recognized, Stoke Lucero’s work stands as both a technical marvel and a deeply expressive achievement in modern tattoo culture.
