Ananya Peterson, a law student, got her eyes tattooed after being inspired by Australian model Amber Luke. The Belfast-native was regretful over not listening to her seven-year-old child who expressed concern over the same. Netizens have since taken to social media to slam Peterson for her actions as she revealed that she went blind after the procedure.
Ananya Peterson was in awe of Amber Luke, an influencer who got her eyeballs tattooed a vivid blue. Unfortunately, the latter went blind for three weeks but got her vision back. However, Peterson was not lucky as it seems like she has lost her sight for good.
In an interview with Kennedy News, Ananya Peterson revealed that she initially decided to get only one eye tattooed after thinking that if she ends up going blind “at least I’ve got the other eye.” She added:
“My daughter told me that I didn’t want to do that [the tattoo] asking, ‘What if you go blind?’ She wasn’t on board with it at all.”
Peterson has since revealed that she is at risk of developing cataracts. She said:
“I don’t have 20/20 vision anymore. From a distance, I can’t see features on faces. If I didn’t have my eyeballs tattooed, I wouldn’t be having this problem. Even today I woke up with more floaters in my eyes. And that is dangerous.”
Netizens react to Amber Luke fan's eye tattoo experience
Internet users did not feel sorry for Ananya Peterson and bashed the mother-of-one that she should have done her research prior to getting her eyes tattooed.
Ananya Peterson suffered from swollen eyelids prior to going blind
The Amber Luke inspired law student’s jarring experience did not have a difficult beginning. In the months after she got her right eye tattooed blue, she suffered no complications. She simply suffered from dryness and headaches. In December 2020, she decided to take the plunge and get her left eyeball tattooed purple.
Sadly, in December 2021, things took a turn. The Amber Luke fan woke up one day with swollen eyelids, which she claimed looked like she had gone “five rounds with Mike Tyson.” She went on to check herself into the hospital as symptoms worsened.
Ananya Peterson revealed in the interview that although she is “on the mend” she is still “on the verge of going blind.” She added
“If I could go back in time, I would have done one black [eye tattoo] and left it. I would have done one black. Absolutely.”
The Amber Luke admirer claimed to be supported by her law university, who is providing her with material to make reading easier. Peterson also seems to be maintaining high spirits. She expressed that she told her daughter not to care about other people’s opinions as they are “just ordinary people like you.”
Amber Luke addresses Ananya Peterson’s eye tattoo experience
The body modification fanatic took to her Instagram account to share that she was “heartbroken” to hear about Peterson’s experience. Amber Luke added that she decided to ink her eyes solely for herself and “never” to “influence anyone.”
Luke added that she decided to ink her body to “reinvent” herself into someone she is proud to be.
The influencer then urged her followers to do their research before getting such procedures done.
