Social media sensation Grace Neutral is famous for creating her own unique definition of beauty. Using dramatic body modification techniques, the British woman has transformed herself into a ‘pixie dream girl’ with purple eyes, pointy ears, forked tongue, and a heavily tattooed body.
网红Grace Neutral对美丽的定义十分独特，她也因此而成为网红。这个英国女人采用了很多夸张的身体改造技术，把自己改装成为一个紫色眼球、尖耳朵、分叉舌头和大量纹身的“精灵”。
Her fearless experiments with her body have earned her over 300,000 followers on Instagram, a modelling assignment with designer Ashley Williams, and a clothing line that reflects her personal style.
她给自己的身体做了很多大胆的实验，也因此在Instagram上收获了30多万粉丝。她还与设计师Ashley Williams签约，推出了独具个人风格的服装系列。
Grace, 26, is primarily a hand poke tattoo artist. Grace decided to modify her body to reflect inner self at pretty young age – she was only 21 when she had her tongue split. Needless to say, it was painful. “After I had my tongue forked, I had to learn to speak again and for ages I had this little lisp,” she said. But she thinks the struggle was worth it and the split doesn’t bother her at all now.“It’s really cool you can pick stuff up and they play with each other! It’s literally the funnest thing ever.”
Grace今年26岁，她是一名手工纹身艺术家。她早在21岁的时候决定改在自己的身体，那时她将自己的舌头分叉了。这一手术过程的痛苦可想而知，她说：“在我做了舌头分叉之后变得吐字不清，我不得不重新学习说话。”但她认为这一经历虽然痛苦、但很值得，而且她现在的生活已经完全不受分叉舌头的影响了。“当你能分别空着两块舌头时，它们彼此玩耍，这种感觉非常酷！这真的是世界上最有趣的事情了。”
Next, Grace had her belly button removed so her stomach would be completely smooth. But then she chose to get her face intentionally scarred. “I also have my ears pointed like a pixie.”
接下来，Grace把自己的肚脐挖掉了，这样她的整个肚子就是完全平滑的了。后来她又把自己的脸划出各种纹路。“我还把耳朵削尖，变得像精灵耳一样。”
But Grace’s scariest procedure yet is her eye tattoo, in which she dyed the whites of her eyes a light purple color. It’s a dangerous process that under 100 people have had done so far, and Grace admits that she found it ‘terrifying’. She eventually decided to go for it, because she felt like it would be the “final step” in her modification process to make her feel truly comfortable in her own skin.
然而Grace最为危险的一次手术还是眼睛纹身，她把自己的白眼球部分变成了淡紫色。这项手术极其危险，世界上只有不到100人做过，Grace承认她自己也觉得害怕。但她最终还是决定做这个手术，因为她觉得这是整个整容过程中、让自己对皮肤满意的“最后一步”。
While she doesn’t have anything against conventional, mainstream beauty. “It’s not that I don’t think someone like Kim Kardashian is beautiful – she is, but there’s nothing in that ideal that reflects me. I appreciate it but I wouldn’t want it.”
不过，Grace对于传统主流审美并不排斥。她说：“我认为金·卡戴珊这样的美女也很美，她的确很美，不过这种美并不会影响到我。我欣赏传统审美，但我自己并不想要。”
