(news.com.au) – A woman who has spent over $37,000 modifying her body reveals she went blind for three weeks after getting her eyeballs tattooed with blue ink. Amber Luke, 24, from NSW underwent an excruciating and dangerous 40-minute procedure to transform her eyes.
It was the latest in a string of body modifications the body piercer has done, included getting 200 tattoos on her body, having her tongue split and her earlobes stretched. Blue-haired Amber has also had a boob job, cheek and lip fillers and pointed implants placed in her ears. Amber, who calls herself the Blue Eyed White Dragon and first developed her bizarre fascination with extreme modifications at 16, said the eyeball job was the most dangerous procedure she has done to date.
Speaking to Barcroft Media, she said: “I can’t even begin to describe to you what the feeling was like, the best thing I can give you is once the eyeball was penetrated with the ink, it felt like [the tattoo artist] grabbed 10 shards of glass and rubbed it in my eye. “That happened four times per eye, that was pretty brutal. Unfortunately, my artist went too deep into my eyeball.
“If your eyeball procedure’s done correctly, you’re not supposed to go blind at all. “I was blind for three weeks. That was pretty brutal.” Amber said she hopes to fully cover her body with tattoos by March 2020 – but she won’t get any more extreme modifications done. She said: “I don’t plan on getting any more body modifications that are extreme in that manner. So no more tongue splitting, no more eyeball tattooing.” FULL STORY
