Australia's 'most tattoed woman' wants to be tattooed on her death bed
Amber Luke announced that she had flown across the world earlier this week for a very specific reason – body modifications.
Said to be Australia’s most tattooed women, the 31-year-old shared on Instagram: “Body mods are illegal in Aus, so I flew to Europe to get three more done.”
Telling LADbible she ‘wouldn’t say I ever regret anything’, the Instagram model reckons she’s spent $450,000 (£237,672) on ‘tattoos, body modifications and surgeries’.
And it seems she has no intentions of stopping, as Luke wants to be tattooed on her death bed.

Also known as ‘Dragon Girl’ to her fans, she reckons she’s got about 98 percent of her body inked and even flew out to Brazil two years ago to get her eyeballs ‘re-tattooed’. With those tatts leaving her ‘crying blue tears’ at first.
As she travels the world for body modifications and racks up a following for her inkings and appearance, we asked Luke if she ever expects there to be a day that she’ll stop having work done.
“I know people expect a yes, but why? This has and will be always a lifelong commitment,” she says.
“I don't have any doubt in my mind that I will be on my death bed getting tattooed as my dying wish hahaha.”
But although she doesn’t necessarily regret anything, Luke says there have been some procedures that have made her ‘question my decisions’.
“The continuous pain, the mindset you need to have to heal - the lack of sleep but needing it to heal,” she explains.
“It's a balance of ying and yang.”
Well, Luke is now currently healing from the modifications she’s undergone in Barcelona, Spain.
She jetted over there for a controversial ‘coin slot’ procedure and for a silicone bow to be implanted under the skin of her hand.
Luke says she’s ‘always wanted’ this implant in her hand and has had it planned for the last year and a half.
Describing the ‘coin slot’, the model explained to fans on Instagram: “They take a hole out of your helix that they put different earrings in and layer it.” This comes as she said her ear has been ‘f**ked up twice’ as she described it as ‘super mutilated’.
The procedure on her hand is known as subdermal implants and are illegal under Australian law due to concerns around unlicensed surgery and the severe health risks that are attached.
While the ‘coin slot’ procedure isn’t strictly illegal Down Under, it is heavily regulated.
Luke won’t quite reveal her next plans yet but says she has ‘one more modification up my sleeve’.
And she adds: “A hell of a lot more to do to my bodysuit - and a lot more to learn about myself.”
