Woman Covered in Tattoos Says She Went Blind After Having Eyes Inked Blue
2019-11-05
[Breitbart] An Australian woman with 200 tattoos said she went blind for three weeks after having her eyeballs inked.
Amber Luke, 24, who refers to herself as Blue Eyes White Dragon, said the procedure was extremely painful.
"He turned me into a Newt! ...I got better"
"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 ten shards of glass and rubbed it in my eye," she recalled.

Luke said the artist shoved the needle too deep into her sclera, the white outer layer of the eyeball, causing her to go blind.

"That was pretty brutal," she said.

However, the young woman has no regrets about her decision to have her eyes colored or any of the other tattoos that cover her body.

Luke began to modify herself when she was 16 and has since spent more than $37,000 on procedures that include breast augmentation, lip fillers, and having her earlobes stretched and her tongue split. She also got ear implants to make them look pointed and had silver fang grills made for her teeth.

#5  cutting your sclera (white part) of your eye will not blind you, unless you get a massive infection that destroys the entire eyeball.

most likely some swelling which of course will result in blurred vision, but not blindness.

but attention whores gotta whore.

#2  Always wondered how many melanomas will go undetected due to the masking of tats.
