Grace was born on the 29th of March 1989, in Dubai, in a family of four. Her family used to travel the world before they settled in a tiny village in Southwest England.

At the age of 20, the future hand poke tattoo artist moved to London, where she quickly got acquainted with the tattoo industry.

Growing up with an artist mother, specifically a silk painter, Grace was a child exposed to alternative representations of beauty such as tribal culture and traditional body modifications.

Her older sister is a sculptor. So she has been bought up by two very creative women who always encouraged her when it came to art.

Since she was little, Grace loved to draw. At 15 she left school and enrolled in the art college to study fine art and photography, but dropped out after about a year.

After finishing a course in prosthetics and special effects makeup, Walker got a job as a sculptor at Madame Tussauds.

Grace started her journey in body modifications by splitting her tongue. After that, she continued to have a series of body modifications like sculpting pixie ears, belly button removal, and piercing punching her nostrils.

Aside from multiple scarifications, the heavily tattooed femme fatal decided to tattoo her eyeballs.

Neutral started as a body piercer who transitioned into the hand-poke arena in 2010.

She feels that tattoos and body modifications are a form of therapy.

Grace posted almost all of her body modifications on her Tumblr account, so the pixie dream girl quickly attracted a lot of attention, being featured in multiple articles online, giving interviews, and even starring in music videos.

She even walked the runway at the London fashion week.

In 2015, Grace Neutral was interviewed by the British culture channel I-D.

In 2016 Walker got presented with the opportunity to host the I-D Magazine Youtube documentary series called Beyond Beauty.
