‘Most tattooed woman’ backtracks on plan to remove ink after seeing herself with clear skin

An Australian social media figure known for her extreme body art has decided not to go through with plans to remove a large number of her tattoos after reconsidering what she might look like without them.

Amber Luke, 30, who has spent about $257,000 on tattoos over the years, recently used artificial intelligence to պատկեր what she would look like with clear skin. After seeing the result, she had a strong negative reaction and quickly changed her mind about continuing the removal process. She said the image made her realize she didn’t like the idea of losing the appearance she’s become used to.

Luke explained that part of her earlier decision to remove some tattoos may have been influenced by other people’s opinions rather than her own wishes. It has been about a decade since she last saw her face without tattoos. Up to now, she has had seven tattoos removed through laser treatments.

She also raised concerns about the healing process involved in removing so many tattoos. At one point, she considered using stem cell treatments to help her skin recover more quickly, but ultimately decided against it because she was unsure about the ethical sourcing of those treatments.

Some of her previous tattoo removals were carried out at no cost by a clinic in Brisbane where she works as a brand ambassador. She described the laser removal process as extremely intense and said she chose not to use numbing cream because she wanted to fully experience the sensation.

Instead of continuing with removals, Luke now plans to add new tattoos to her face, including designs that will cover areas where tattoos were previously removed. She says she only wants a few more additions to complete the look she has in mind.

In the past, Luke has also undergone other body modifications. She once had an implant added to her ear for cosmetic purposes, but it had to be urgently removed after causing serious health complications, including fluid leakage and physical discomfort. Following that experience, she reported feeling weak and losing a noticeable amount of weight.

Luke began getting tattoos as a teenager and has described herself as becoming addicted to the process early on. In 2018, she had her eyeballs tattooed blue, a procedure that temporarily left her blind for several weeks. Despite the risks and complications, she later said she did not regret it and even returned to Brazil years later to have the color refreshed.
