In her journey to become her "true self", Amber has taken many risks. One of the biggest was when she got both of her eyes tattooed blue.

The procedure caused her to go blind for weeks and made her experience agonizing pain.

"I went blind for three weeks when I got my eyes tattooed, which is not meant to happen – disclaimer!" she told 9 News.

"It was probably one of the worst pains in my life, not gonna lie. I'm going back for seconds, but properly this time, I'm going to Mexico."

"That was probably my only tattooing hiccup. I don't have any sort of regrets. I wanted everything at the time. To people that are losing their clean skin virginity, all that I will tell you is do your research."
