Anaja Peterson he had admiration for the Australian influencer Amber Lukeand wanted to imitate her. The result couldn’t be worse: after ignoring the advice of one of her sons due to the risk of possible blindness, she got her eyeballs tattooed and now he is losing his sight.

Anaya, a law student, was in awe of Australian model Amber Luke, who got eyeball tattoos a deep blue and she was blind for three weeks. Although Luke has regained his sight, it appears that Peterson, 32, may lose it forever.

“I was only going to get tattooed in one eye, because I thought if I went blind, at least I would have the other. I should have stuck to that,” Peterson complains to the site. kennedynews.

And he remembered that his daughter had told him she didn’t want him to get a tattoo and had asked him: ‘What if you go blind?‘. “She didn’t suit her at all,” says Peterson.

The woman, who lives in Belfast, Northern Ireland, was taken to hospital with an eyeball change after a possible reaction to the ink, and is now at risk of developing cataracts.

“I no longer have 20/20 vision. From a distance, I can’t see the features of the faces,” he said. “If I didn’t tattoo my eyes, I wouldn’t have this problem. Even today, I woke up with more floaters in my eyes. And this is dangerous,” he reports. The mail.

How it all began

His tattoo story began in July 2020 when blue ink was applied to his right eye. He hasn’t had any serious complications, other than suffering from dryness and headaches. In December, she decided to get a purple tattoo on her left eyeball.

But in August 2021 things got worse. He woke up one day with completely swollen eyelids. When the symptoms worsened, she decided to go to the hospital. They administered intravenous drugs for three days and biopsied his left eye. “It’s like he fought Tyson.”

Anaya complains that she would be happy just to be at home watching television. “It was traumatic to face him. I just remember thinking, ‘I’m not going to do that again with the eye tattoo.’ I definitely won’t do that shit again.”

“I’m a little healed, on the outside he’s healed. He’s right inside. I’m practically going blind,” she said. “If I could go back in time, I would make a [tatuaje de ojo] black and would leave it. I would have made a black one. Absolutely.”

Now, Peterson says she has floaters in her vision and is at risk of going blind.

Despite the bleak outlook, Peterson remains optimistic the negative comments you receive on social media.

“I tell my daughter not to worry about other people’s opinions because they’re just regular people like you,” she said. “You have positive comments and negative comments, but the negative comments always outweigh the positive ones.”

Australian influencer Luke, whom Peterson has followed in his footsteps, says an eyeball tattoo should never cause blindness when done correctly.

“Unfortunately, my tattoo artist got too deep into my eyeball,” Luke recalled to the Daily Star when he went blind for three weeks. “If the eyeball procedure was done correctly, you shouldn’t go blind at all.”
