Amber, a 25-year-old who was once called an “angelic beauty,” has undergone a transformation that has left people both admiring and criticizing her. Despite having flawless skin and delicate features, Amber felt trapped by society’s rigid beauty standards. Deep down, she longed to break free from these constraints and embrace her true self. Learn about Amber’s Journey to Self-Acceptance.
Amber’s transformation wasn’t just physical; it was emotional and deeply personal. She underwent several surgeries, including one on her eyes, and got more than 600 tattoos. Each tattoo symbolizes an important chapter of her life or her defiance of societal pressures. Her journey wasn’t about seeking perfection—it was about claiming her independence and fully accepting who she is.
“I fit into the crowd way too well for my liking,” Amber said.
She told Insider that her appearance really bothered her when she turned 16, and that she was diagnosed with clinical depression.
“I struggled to leave the house because of low confidence,” she said, “I couldn’t look people in the eye; I couldn’t have any attention brought onto me, otherwise I would go bright red in the face.”
“I found myself to be very plain and boring looking,” she said of her natural appearance.
Speaking to Insider, she said, “I just couldn’t even bring myself to look into a mirror half the time.”
“It hit me like a ton of bricks, and man, it hit me hard,” she added. “The reality I was living in was shameful and embarrassing to me.”
Luke decided to take control of her appearance through tattoos. She said that when she was 16, she gave herself an at-home tattoo – which she now says she doesn’t recommend — beginning a nine-year-long transformation.
