I went temporarily blind getting my eyeballs tattooed — it was worth it

Australia’s “most tattooed woman” — who inked her own eyeballs— has revealed an insane detail about her body art as some enthusiasts and industry heavyweights descend on Brisbane for the Australian Tattoo Expo.

Amber Luke, who calls herself the Blue Eyes White Dragon, was among the stars who attended the Brisbane expo on Saturday.

The event has been held in cities across Australia for the past 15 years, attracting about 60,000 people through it doors each year.

Luke, who calls herself the Blue Eyes White Dragon on her Instagram, rose to prominence for her prolific body art featuring 250 tattoos, along with multiple piercings and implants.

She got her eyes tattooed at age 22 – the excruciating process rendering her blind for weeks.

Speaking on The Apollo Show podcast earlier in July, Luke said the process about “taking back something that was never really mine in the first place.”

Luke revealed she had recently returned from Brazil to have her eyeballs re-inked.

“I wanted to own that and say: ‘You know what? I may have gone blind for three weeks, but it turned out to be quite an okay experience,’” Luke told host Adam Manikis. “The way I saw it back then, it botched me for three weeks.

“I really wanted to make that completely separate to what it actually was.”

She told the podcast there were no complications and there was no pain.

Luke explained the process involved a one millimeter syringe being injected into “two pinpoints” directly into her eyeball.

Luke described getting her eyeballs tattooed as the “most intense, brutal pain of my life.”amberluke666/Instagram

“My eye is a solid blue … if it’s done correctly you feel no pain whatsoever,” she said.

Luke revealed the first time her eyeballs were tattooed she was left in severe pain.

“It was the most intense, brutal pain of my life,” she said.

“I honestly felt like … 10 shards of glass (had been rubbed) in my eye, for three weeks.”

A spokesperson for the Tattoo Expo said it was dedicated to supporting the tattoo industry and increasing the community’s growth.

“It’s a great chance to get tattooed by tattoo industry titans, form lasting connections and chat with both the pioneers and up-and-comers of the tattoo community,” the spokesperson said.
