Amber Luke Spends $15K on Tattoos and Body Modifications
Australia’s 24-year old beauty has her tongue split, eyeball tattoos, and shaved fangs, for starters.
Amber Luke, a 24-year old ink addict from Brisbane, Australia, has spent over $15,000 in her tattoo and body modification journey, according to Daily Mail.
The self-described “Blue Eyes White Dragon” and “infamous lunatic” tattooed her eyeballs, ears slightly pointed like a pixie, fangs filed down to resemble a vampire, as well as underwent a tongue-splitting procedure.
”The procedure for getting my eyes done was only 40 minutes,” Amber Luke explained. “It was very intense and very painful. My eyes got held open while a syringe was injected into my eye four times per eye. I was blind for three weeks.”
Luke says she wants to be “fully covered by the time I’m 25…”
Amber Luke started getting tattoos about 10 years ago, and since then, has been inked over 100 times. “Back when I was 14, I didn’t know who I was or what I wanted from life. I was catatonic and couldn’t see what was best for me. I was naïve”, she said. “But I now have a backbone and I can stand up for what I believe in.”
She added, “I also have the confidence to look however I want too. It wasn’t until I turned 16 that I was finally able to find an outlet that released all my negative energy.”
