Amber Luke, a Brisbane body modification enthusiast, posted a never before seen photo of herself before she underwent a $120,000 head to toe transformation.
Luke spent $50,000 on about 600 tattoos, including having blue ink injected into her eyeballs in a 40 minute procedure that blinded her for three weeks.
She also spent $70,000 on various extreme body modifications including cheek and lip fillers, tongue split, pointed implants in her ears, breast augmentation, and a Brazilian butt lift.
Luke, a self-described “blue eyed white dragon girl,” posted a picture of herself before the extreme makeover, when she only had a quote tattoo on her collarbone and a tiny piercing on her cheekbone.
“No face tattoos, just a dermal [piercing],” she captioned the Instagram Story. “We’ve all got to start somewhere.”
She posted another photo of her 18 year old self, rocking a bare face and quotes along her ribs.
“This was me at 18 years old. I was so catatonically depressed, suicidal and was a walking dead girl. I was numb. I hated myself majority of the time – that hatred ran deep. It tormented me,” she captioned the post. “Now, I’ve totally transformed myself into someone I’m proud of being. I’m a strong woman who knows exactly what she wants and who she is.”
