Woman who went blind from eyeball tattoo gets 'most brutally torturous' inking done again

She said it went much better the second time around

A woman who went blind for three weeks after getting her eyes tattooed has gone back and had the procedure done again.

Australian woman Amber Luke has 98 percent of her body covered in tattoos, and has said she had 'no regrets' over getting inked so much.

That's even after she got tattoos on her eyeballs which left her blind for three weeks, a procedure which another woman copied and also suffered loss of sight.

While she declared that she was 'definitely not doing that s**t again', Amber decided that she would like another turn in the tattoo artists chair to work on inking her eyeballs.

The 29-year-old travelled from Australia to São Paulo, Brazil, for a procedure on 18 May to get her eyes tattooed for a second time.

Amber, who has been dubbed 'Dragon Girl' for her appearance, revealed the results of her new art in a clip on Instagram where she showed that her sclera, the white part of the eyeball, was now blue and black.

"For me, it was about taking back what’s mine and was supposed to be mine in the first place," Amber told What'sTheJam.

"I felt robbed and like I didn’t deserve a proper procedure. But I do deserve to have my moment, where I open my eyes and see true beauty.

"I nearly cried of happiness when I saw them this time and that’s exactly how it should’ve been originally. It’s something I can appreciate for the rest of my life now."

Amber went to tattoo artist Gattoo Moreno for the procedure and this time wanted to avoid losing her sight for three weeks, explaining that she went to the optometrists who told her that her first eyeball tattoo 'was botched'.

She said that this time around there were 'absolutely no signs of scar tissue' from the procedure, which took just 20 minutes to complete.

It was done with a syringe filled with vegan ink that was slowly injected into her sclera, but even with taking precautions there were still concerns over what could go wrong.

Amber said: "If you blink or move when that needle is in your eyeball, you can go permanently blind.

"It was crucial for me to breathe through the procedure, as I was experiencing severe trauma and PTSD.

Her eyes are now black and blue after the procedure, which she said didn't hurt this time. (Jam Press)

"It was so difficult to remain still with so much raging through my brain, but I’m beyond proud of myself for taking this situation back.

"The first procedure was hands down the most excruciating pain I’ve ever been through."

However, during the second procedure she said there was 'absolutely no pain' and said that was 'how it's supposed to be'.

Amber added: "I couldn’t have asked for a better body modification artist to lead me through this daunting journey.

"I’ve finally achieved what I deserved after seven years."
