Amber Luke, also known as Australia’s most tattooed woman, stunned the internet with a throwback photo from a time when 99% of her body wasn’t covered in ink. The 28-year-old took to Instagram to share a side-by-side comparison, revealing how she transformed her body over the course of nine years. In the first photo, taken in her early twenties, Amber is shown with only a few tattoos on her forearm, hand, and neck. In contrast, the recent photo on the right shows her body almost completely covered in tattoos. Amber Luke shared two before-and-after photos highlighting her transformation Image credits: amberluke666 The Brisbane native recalled being judged for having her neck tattooed as a young woman and being told she was a “degenerate.” “Don’t @ me for having a floating neck at 20 years old okay, I know, I f*cking know (lol). Every single person in my life told me it was the end for me-that throat tattoo,” she wrote on Monday (December 23). “No career, no aspirations – just a ‘degenerate to society’ with a floating neck tattoo. “F*CKING WRONG – on so many levels… unfortunately, for your egomaniac stalking.” She also posted a photo of one of her tattoos that says, “I’ve been to Hell and back and let me tell you – it was beautiful.” Amber has spent $350,000 AUD ($218,000) on her transformation, which includes satanic symbols and a split tongue. She has also tattooed her sclera (the white part of the eye) a bright blue color, which left her blind for three weeks. “I went blind after tattooing eyeballs but I have no regrets and won’t stop,” she said in a separate post. Amber has 35 face tattoos, including the tattoos on both of her eyes. Known as Australia’s most tattooed woman, Amber has spent $218,000 on body art Image credits: amberluke666 Image credits: amberluke666 Speaking on the Australian radio show Robin, Terry & Kip, Amber discussed the prejudice she faces from strangers who judge her solely based on her appearance. Some even approach her to express their disapproval of her body art. “Everyone has their own opinions of what beauty is,” she said, as per The DailyMail. “You see these cultures [where people] stretch their necks, their ears, their lips. But at the end of the day, we all are entitled to our opinion and that’s okay. “I am getting very heavily tattooed, but I’m not harming anyone in the process. “But, what gets to me is when someone expresses their opinion to me in public and comes up to me and says, ‘Oh, you’re ugly,’ or, ‘You’ve ruined yourself.’ It’s very distressing to know that people have that strong opinion and they can just voice it without any repercussions.” The 28-year-old has 35 face tattoos, including tattoos on both of her eyes Image credits: amberluke666 Sometimes, Amber does a “smile test” when she enters a new place to see how people react to her appearance. “I simply smile and observe their reactions. I will tell you; It’s an incredibly uneasy feeling when strangers exchange such an unwelcoming energy and pure hostility toward you. “One thing I have learnt – and it hasn’t been taught easy or overnight – is that humans judge what we don’t understand. “THIS SOCIETY IS BRAINWASHED ENOUGH; I ENCOURAGE you to not be a sheep & do what makes you GLOW,” she wrote, adding that she plans to get more tattoos in the future. Image credits: amberluke666 In October, a woman named Kerrie Ashby said she was denied entry to a restaurant in South Australia because of her face tattoos. “I wasn’t angry, I felt a bit humiliated. It was so unwarranted and unjustified. It’s not a reasonable cause,” Kerry said, adding that she’s not “troublesome” and has always been “respectful.”

Just by eating this one dish during a meal, a woman suffered a “ruptured stomach” and was diagnosed with cancer. Dr. Lin Xianghong, director of Hexin Minquan Health Management Clinic in Taiwan, shared this case on social media. A 50-year-old woman, who neither smoked nor drank, had no chronic illnesses or family history of cancer. However, she experienced discomfort and tension in her upper abdomen recently and unexpectedly lost 9 kg. Initial gastric endoscopy showed minor stomach damage, but further ultrasound and CT scans revealed a 4 cm mass on her pancreas, suspected to be pancreatic cancer. Her tumor marker CA19-9 exceeded 200, seven times the normal value, indicating mid-to-late-stage pancreatic cancer. Due to the tumor’s large size and proximity to blood vessels, surgery was deemed too risky. The patient would need chemotherapy first, hoping to shrink the tumor. Dr. Lin estimated the tumor had likely started a year earlier but remained undetected due to insufficient diagnostic testing during basic health checkups. He suggested that earlier pancreatic cancer screening could have identified the disease in its early stages. Early detection and surgery can increase the 5-year survival rate to 80%. Despite having no apparent risk factors, Dr. Lin attributed the cancer to her sedentary lifestyle and diet high in red and processed meats. She consumed excessive amounts of red meat and processed foods daily, which are linked to higher cancer risks. The WHO classifies red meat (beef, lamb, pork, etc.) as “probably carcinogenic to humans” (Group 2A). Studies show consuming 76g of red meat daily increases the risk of colorectal cancer by 20% compared to 21g per day. Red meat contains harmful chemicals, including haem, a natural pigment that can damage cells and promote harmful bacteria producing carcinogenic compounds. It is recommended to limit red meat intake to no more than 70g per day. Processed meats, such as sausages, jerky, ham, and bacon, are classified as Group 1 carcinogens by the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC), significantly increasing the risk of cancers like colorectal, pancreatic, and prostate cancer. These meats undergo curing, fermenting, or smoking processes that introduce harmful chemicals. Reducing processed meat consumption can lower cancer-causing compounds and saturated fat intake, promoting better health.

Possible Causes of Numbness or Tingling in Your Hands Experiencing numbness or a tingling sensation in your hands, often described as “pins and needles,” can range from a minor inconvenience to an indicator of a more serious health condition. Below are some potential reasons behind this sensation: 1. Improper Sleeping Position Sleeping in an awkward position, such as lying on your arm or hand, can compress nerves and restrict blood flow, resulting in temporary numbness. Adjusting your position usually resolves the issue quickly. 2. Repetitive Motions Frequent use of your hands for repetitive tasks, such as typing or tool usage, can compress nerves, causing tingling. Carpal tunnel syndrome, a common condition, results from pressure on the median nerve in the wrist. 3. Vitamin B12 Deficiency A lack of vitamin B12, essential for nerve health, can lead to numbness and tingling in the hands and feet. Additional symptoms may include muscle weakness and fatigue, especially in individuals with dietary restrictions or absorption issues like Crohn’s disease. 4. Electrolyte Imbalance Imbalanced levels of calcium, potassium, or sodium in the body can affect nerve function, leading to tingling sensations. Such imbalances often result from dehydration, medications, or underlying health conditions. 5. Diabetes and Peripheral Neuropathy Chronic high blood sugar in diabetes can damage peripheral nerves, causing numbness, tingling, or burning sensations in the hands and feet. This condition, called diabetic neuropathy, affects about half of people with diabetes. 6. Neck or Spinal Issues Conditions like herniated discs or age-related spinal degeneration can compress nerves in the neck, resulting in tingling in the arms and hands. These symptoms may be accompanied by neck pain or stiffness. 7. Autoimmune Disorders Diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis or Guillain-Barré syndrome can damage nerves and cause tingling. They are often associated with other symptoms like joint pain, muscle weakness, or inflammation. 8. Poor Circulation Reduced blood flow due to conditions like Raynaud’s phenomenon or arterial plaque buildup can cause tingling in the hands, particularly in cold environments. 9. Nerve Compression by Cysts or Tumors Non-cancerous growths, such as ganglion cysts, can press on nerves in the hands, leading to numbness, tingling, or limited joint movement. 10. Infections Infections such as shingles or Lyme disease can impact nerve function, causing tingling in the hands and other areas of the body. When to Seek Medical Attention While occasional numbness is typically harmless, persistent or severe symptoms may signal a more serious issue. Seek immediate medical help if you experience: Paralysis or muscle weakness. Slurred speech or confusion. Dizziness or loss of coordination. Numbness spreading to other areas of the body. Understanding the potential causes can help guide you in managing symptoms or seeking appropriate care when needed.

The colon, a vital component of the digestive system, plays a pivotal role in maintaining optimal health. The colon is responsible for expelling waste from the body, and the efficiency of the colon is crucial to preventing disorders and associated health problems. Dr. Mahmoud Ali, the distinguished gastroenterologist and liver consultant at Kasr El Aini, emphasizes the importance of a well-functioning colon in promoting public health. Dr. Ali highlights the dual role of the colon in absorbing water and essential vitamins from food while facilitating the process of eliminating waste through excretion.
