An Australian woman spends $120,000 to convert into a “Dragon Girl.” Learn about her transformation into a legendary figure.
An Australian woman who was obsessed with changing her looks spent $120,000 on surgery and tattoos to become what she called the “dragon girl.” Obsession took her on this life-changing journey despite her inherent attractiveness.
Amber Luke, who was born in Australia, seemed to have everything a girl could want when she was growing up. She was tall, slim, a blonde beauty queen, and the epitome of femininity. She did, however, have a secret hidden under her supposedly flawless exterior.
In a desperate attempt to maintain their youth and attractiveness, women have historically adopted strange and perhaps dangerous beauty trends. The idea of beauty has changed over time, leading many people to strive for an almost impossible ideal. However, Amber has defied conventional notions of allure, opting for an almost mythical appearance.
Struggling with depression and suicidal thoughts for years, Amber felt disconnected from her skin. Determined to reflect her inner identity, the Brisbane beauty embarked on a journey of self-expression, accumulating tattoos, piercings, and surgeries to initiate her complete transformation.
Driven by a desire to align her appearance with her inner self, this Aussie woman has invested $120,000 in body modifications. This includes $50,000 on approximately 600 tattoos and $70,000 on surgical procedures, according to reports by the Daily Mail.
Amber has undergone extensive physical alterations, including cheek and lip fillers, pointed ear implants, breast augmentation, a Brazilian butt lift, and a tongue bifurcation. She now identifies as the “blue-eyed, white dragon girl.”
“This was me at 18 years old,” she wrote. “I was so catatonically depressed, suicidal, and was a walking dead girl. I was numb. I hated myself the majority of the time – that hatred ran deep. It tormented me,” she explained. “Now, I’ve totally transformed myself into someone I’m proud of being. I’m a strong woman who knows exactly what she wants and who she is.”
Her transformation, Amber claims, rescued her from depression and suicidal thoughts. Yet, her quest to embody an erotic mythical figure nearly cost her eyesight. Injecting blue ink into her eyeballs left her blind for three weeks, risking her vision for her desired appearance.
“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 10 shards of glass and rubbed it in my eye,” the Aussie woman said. “That happened four times per eye, that was pretty brutal. Unfortunately, my artist went too deep into my eyeball. If your eyeball procedure’s done correctly, you’re not supposed to go blind at all. I was blind for three weeks. That was pretty brutal.”
Amber insists she won’t modify her body further, vowing against facial tattoos and eye ink. However, skeptics anticipate her next transformation.
Asserting newfound happiness, the Aussie woman dismisses warnings of future regret, citing past misery and dissatisfaction with her appearance. She defends her choices, emphasizing personal satisfaction. The future holds uncertainty on whether she maintains her current look or seeks further change.
