A method for suspending colorant in a subconjunctival space of a human eye, including steps of accessing the subconjunctival space, injecting colorant into the subconjunctival space, suspending colorant in the subconjunctival space, spreading the colorant into a desired pattern, and closing access to the subconjunctival space. The system avoids tattooing, implanting, and corneal modification. Permanent results may be obtained. Colorants may be suspensions or stains.
