Instagram Model Who Has Spent £20k On Tattoos Shares What She Looked Like Before

An Instagram model who has spent £20,000 on tattoos has shared a throwback photo revealing what she looked like before she started getting inked.

Amber Luke has become famous on social media for her heavily tattooed appearance, having spent thousands over the years to transform herself.

But before all of the body modification started, Amber - from New South Wales' Central Coast in Australia - unsurprisingly, Amber could not have looked more different.

In a Q&A session on Instagram Stories, she asked her fans: "Hella bored - as me good questions."

One follower replied asking Amber how she looked before she tattooed, prompting the Instagrammer to share a photo of herself before she was tattooed, in which she's wearing a glamorous floor-length blue ball gown and glitzy jewellery.

Now she's traded the colour of her dress for the colour of both of her hair and her eyes - the latter of which she had tattooed last year, a procedure that left her blind for almost a month.

Along with hundreds of tattoos, Amber has also modified her body in several other ways, including piercings, a boob job, a tongue split and lip and cheek fillers.

According to The Daily Star, she's now spent over £20,000 (AUD $39,300/US $24,643) on her extreme look.

Amber, who has more than 80,000 followers on Instagram, has also shared some other similar pre-ink photos in the past to show off how she used to look.

In a previous interview with Daily Mail Australia, Amber said her extreme look is met with mixed responses from strangers.

"I gained a lot of support and positive vibes from complete strangers - there was always the few nasty opinionated ones who try to make you feel inadequate, but I never let them get to me," she said.

Addressing her trolls, she added: "If you're reading this and you have nothing nice to say? Don't say it at all. You never know what a person's going through in their personal lives, be kind.

"I'm not harming anyone in the process, I'm doing what I want to do and if it makes me get up in the morning and be a happy person, then so be it."
