Australia’s most tattooed lady, Amber Luke, shocked the world with a vintage image of herself when 99 percent of her body was free of tattoos.
The 28-year-old showed off how she changed her figure over the span of nine years by posting a side-by-side comparison on Instagram.
Amber seems to have just a few tattoos on her hand, neck, and forearm in the first image, which was shot when she was in her early twenties.
On the other hand, her torso is almost entirely covered with tattoos in the most current image on the right.
The native of Brisbane remembers being dubbed a “degenerate” and subjected to criticism for getting a tattoo on her neck when she was younger.
“I know, I f*cking know,” I said, so don’t be mad at me for having a floating neck at twenty. That neck tattoo was the end for me, according to everyone in my life,” she wrote on Monday, December 23.
“Just a ‘degenerate to society’ with a floating neck tattoo—no ambitions, no profession. “F*CKING WRONG – on so many levels… for your egotistical stalking, unfortunately.”
A picture of one of her tattoos that reads, “I’ve been to Hell and back and let me tell you – it was beautiful,” was also shared by her.
Amber’s alteration, which includes demonic symbols and a split tongue, cost $350,000 AUD ($218,000). She also had a vivid blue tattoo on her sclera, or the white portion of her eye, which caused her to become blind for three weeks.
In a another post, she said, “I have no regrets and I won’t stop,” despite the fact that getting eyeball tattoos caused her to become blind.
Together with the tattoos on both of her eyes, Amber has 35 facial tattoos. Amber, who is regarded as the most tattooed woman in Australia, has spent $218,000 on body art.
Speaking on the Australian radio program Robin, Terry & Kip, Amber spoke about the discrimination she encounters from those who just consider her looks.
Some even go so far as to confront her in order to voice their dislike of her body art. According to The DailyMail, she said, “Everyone has their own opinions about what beauty is.”
“You observe these cultures [where people] extend their lips, ears, and necks.” However, we all have the right to our own opinions, and that’s OK in the end.
Even though I’m getting a lot of tattoos, I’m not hurting anybody. However, what bothers me is when someone approaches me in public to voice their opinion and says,
‘Oh, you’re ugly,’ or ‘You’ve wrecked yourself.’ Knowing that individuals may express their strong opinions without fear of consequences is really upsetting.
The 28-year-old has 35 tattoos on her face, including two on her eyes. Amber sometimes does a “smile test” to gauge how others respond to her looks.
When she walks into a new location. “I just grin and see how they respond. I’ll tell you, it’s a really uncomfortable sensation when strangers act so hostile and unwelcoming towards you.
One thing I’ve discovered—and it wasn’t taught to me quickly or easily—is that people tend to condemn things they don’t fully comprehend.
She said that she intends to get additional tattoos in the future and that “this society is brainwashed enough; I encourage you to not be a sheep & do what makes you GLOW.”
A lady called Kerrie Ashby claimed in October that she was turned away from a South Australian eatery due to facial tattoos. “I felt a little embarrassed, but not furious.
It was completely unreasonable and uncalled for. Kerry said that she is not “troublesome” and has always been “respectful,” saying, “It’s not a reasonable cause.”
