Turns out an Australia woman thought it was indeed a great idea to get the over the top tattoo…which caused her to lose her eyesight. The woman, who apparently has already spent nearly $26,000 on tattoos, says she went blind after undergoing an eyeball procedure to tattoo the whites of her eyes.
Amber Luke, who goes by Blue Eyed White Dragon, wanted to tattoo her eyes. The 24-year-old said she went blind for a total of three weeks after following the painful 40-minute procedure. Recalling the pain, she stated, “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 eyes.”
The Australian said the procedure “shouldn’t’ be dangerous” but that the artist went too deep into her eyeball which ultimately caused her to lose her vision. So, yeah, safe to say that the artist is probably going to get a hefty lawsuit in the future. Luke’s body is covered in tattoos, 200 to be exact, and plans to get more. But she does say that none of the extreme variety of tattoos she has around her body caused her to lose her vision. Because well, they weren’t close to her face.
She did learn her lesson though and doesn’t plan on getting any “extreme body modifications” anymore. Basically, she has vowed off tongue splitting and eyeball tattooing forever.
