Australia’s most tattooed woman has travelled halfway across the world to undergo more body modifications that are illegal in her home country.
Amber Luke went to Spain to get extreme work done on her body which is outlawed in Australia.
The 31-year-old travelled to Barcelona to have a ‘coin slot’ inserted into her ear, as well as going under the knife to have a silicone bow placed under the skin in her hand.
She took to social media to tell her followers about the new procedures.
She said: “Australia has made them highly illegal for seven years. I’m about to get two body mods done, I am super f***ing keen!
“I have had this plan for a while, I am getting a coin slot in my ear. They take a hole out of your helix that they put different earrings in and layer it. And for the past year and a half I have planned to have this body mod in my hand, it is a silicone bow, I am very excited!”
The procedures she is getting done are called subdermal implants, which are strictly regulated across Australia due to the potential risks involved in getting them.
She said “The end result is to have a nice implant that is not all f***ed up! That is going to be my mission in Barcelona, and healing.”
Her followers have expressed concern at her decision, with many warning that there is a reason those procedures are considered illegal.
Amber also revealed she struggles to find a job because of how she looks.
She said: “I’m not going to sugar-coat it, it has limited my [employment] options but that’s okay.
“Because the way I see it is, I don’t want to work for a company that’s shallow-minded [and can’t] look past my image. They won’t look at my work ethic, they won’t look at my morals or my values or what I have to bring to the table.”
Amber, known online as Dragon Girl, is already covered from head to toe in tattoos and says she has spent in excess of £250,000 on tattoos, including some on her eyeballs. The first time she got art on her eyeballs she was left blind for three weeks, and she recently announced she will head to Brazil to get it done again.
“The reason I’m doing this is because I was so botched in the first place I do not ever want to experience that again,” she said. “People say, ‘Why the hell would you put yourself through that again, knowing that that could be a risk?’ But there is actually no risk if it’s done correctly.”
She revealed the original mistake happened when the tattoo artist, who set out to tint her eyeballs, did the procedure incorrectly which caused “excruciating pain and temporary blindness.”
“I’m adding two pin points of black ink to each eyeball. My eyes are solid blue at the moment, with my iris being brown. It will look kind of like a nebula galaxy effect on an eyeball,” she said.
