It’s Wednesday, June 13th, 2018…but before we begin, here’s a story which bespeaks much of what’s ailing America:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Woman obsessed with ‘body modification’ tattoos eyeballs blue<\/span><\/span><\/a><\/h1>\n

 <\/p>\n

“A 23-year-old woman has revealed her incredible transformation after spending more than $8,000 on body modifications, including a split tongue and blue inkings on her eyeballs. Amber Luke, who is dubbed \u201cBlue Eyes White Dragon\u201d by pals, developed an addiction to tattoos at the tender age of 16, and now has more than 50 designs.<\/a><\/p>\n

The body piercer, from Australia, told\u00a0Daily Mail Australia:\u00a0\u201cI have no regrets whatsoever. I\u2019m absolutely in love with my image.\u201d<\/span> Amber says she \u201chated\u201d the way she used to look and thought her blonde locks and flawless skin were \u201cvery plain\u201d and \u201cboring.\u201d<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

She got her first tattoo as a teen as she \u201ccraved to know what the feeling was like\u201d and had three inkings by the time she was 18. \u201cI developed an addiction at 16 years of age,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

Luke risked going permanently blind after getting her eyeballs tattooed with blue ink.<\/strong><\/span> She says the 40-minute procedure was \u201cvery painful\u201d and left her unable to see properly for three weeks.<\/p>\n

(Here’s the Money Quote!<\/em>)\u00a0<\/span>Amber says her close friends and family have supported her transformation<\/em><\/span>.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Pushing the makeover boundaries further, Luke had her tongue split and silicone inserted into her ears so they looked more \u201cpointy.\u201d…But she\u2019s not stopping there. Luke plans to sharpen her two fang teeth (Great reporting: those are called “canines”, not<\/span> “fang teeth”<\/em>!)<\/span> into \u201cvampire teeth\u201d and is getting another tattoo on her right leg.<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/span>“<\/p>\n

Consider the Money Quote<\/em><\/span> above: “Amber says her close friends and family have supported<\/em><\/span> her transformation<\/em><\/span>“.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Two quick thoughts: first, “transformation<\/em>” our a*s<\/em><\/span>; who the hell\u00a0is<\/em><\/span> she…<\/strong><\/p>\n
