Uta will probably troll him and us by saying...

"These things? Contacts. Pretty cool huh?" Either that or...

I don´t think anyone pointed or noticed this, but Uta´s proffesion and style gives him a perfect excuse to keep his kakugan on at all times.

For one, society are far more accepting that the tattoo-artists are "odd" to a lot greater extent than most other people, so he can pass off with it.

Also, there´s a thing called "Corneal Tattoing" which involves tattoing the cornea of the eye. The reasons for this practice could shift between cosmetic improvement or improving one´s eyesight.

(regarding the sight improvement, it´s for conditions such as albinism, aniridia (where the iris is missing completely), coloboma (when there´s holes in the structures of the iris), iridodialysis (where the iris is coming off from its spot in the eye), Keratoconus (where the eye´s structure becomes cone-shaped rather than spherical) The tattooing is also used in cases involving loss of iris or correctomy (surgical removal of the iris)...)

I doubt Uta would need such an excuse, since some people does this just for their own preferences...

Either way.

Corneal tattoing is not a new thing, not by a mile, It has been practiced for a little over 2000 years and the methods have just evolved and is keep evolving even now in the present day.

1869 was the first time someone used india ink for the procedure and from there, the base method was established for tattoo artists everywhere.

There are several disadvantages with this method, be warned, such as the risk of blindness, flawed results, fading results, The procedure is difficult to unimaginable levels and people can experience a itch in the eye after doing it, and that itch lasts for quite some time. The procedure might not work at every time and the results might be dire.

Of course, Uta suffers none of that, his eyes are natural.

But it´s not like anyone else knows about that.

So the things he can pull, is either "had the cornea tattoed black, while wearing some nice red contact-lenses."

or

"This? Had one half fixed in black, the other in red, nice huh?"

He got an alibi, it makes sense and as long he´s the only one doing it, nobody thinks about it for long, because let´s be honest here...

...what ghoul in their right mind would walk around with that kind of telltale sign right in the middle of the day and among people?

So if humans sees him, they´ll just assume he´s a human with a sick sense of style.

To quote the Joker

"What is the best place to hide from the world´s greatest detective? Right under his long, pointy, nose!"

He´s hidden in plain sight, that´s all.
