In a video posted to Lily Lu's YouTube channel earlier this year, Lu shared her thoughts on extreme body modifications, saying that she doesn't feel like it's so extreme when she looks in the mirror.

"What do you guys think, do I look extreme or not, because I don't feel like this, I don't see myself like this," Lily Lu explained in her characteristically bubbly and engaging style. "For myself, tattoos are part of progression."

She goes on to explain that her tattoo transformation has taken up more than half of her life at this stage and is just part of who she is. As she goes through life, her body mods and inkings are just part of her personal progression and the changes that naturally come with life.

"For myself, it's very extreme to live a normal life – what means normal, what defines normal?" said Lu, before showing off some her extreme changes, including tattoos on her tongue and her two amputated ring fingers.

"The more you go on the edge of society, the less you think about" extreme tattoos and body mods, according to Lily Lu. "I wouldn't say it's that extreme, I would never say it's extreme, I wouldn't declare it as extreme, I wouldn't define it as that extreme."
