A black-and-white photo of a person mid-air in a Superman-style body suspension pose, supported by multiple hooks in their back and legs, smiling joyfully toward the camera. They are suspended horizontally in a large indoor space with high ceilings and visible rigging. A group of onlookers—some seated, some standing—watch with expressions of admiration, amusement, and support. The atmosphere is lively and communal, capturing a moment of shared experience and transformation.

Artificial Leg Tattoo

I really like AJ‘s artificial leg tattoo! It was done by Evan Lovett at Twisted Visions in Clementon, NJ, where he pierces.

    Love the way the wood grain looks. The simple semi-cartoon look of it works well somehow.

    If this guy has given himself a false leg and will therefore be a drain on the health service of the country he lives in then I don’t agree with it.

    It looks incredibly good, but I think that when the hair grows in it will take away from the effect of it in a big away b/c… how does a fake leg have hair gowing on it???

    hahaha wow this is my leg, well for number 30, i shave my leg constantly so the hair thing doesn’t make a difference haha.

    wouldn’t it follow that a wooden leg would have a wooden foot? or no foot?

  33. alyssa Avatar

    #33, the tattoo has no foot, therefore you’ve answered your own question 😉

    It’s funny how everyone loves these tats but posts of real amputees generate such heated debates!They are clearly coming from the school.I guess this would be considered socially acceptable amputee fetishism!

    I thought this was going to be like a former co-worker of mine. She had at least a dozen tattoos, several on her leg, and when she lost her leg due to diabetes, she had to get an artificial one. She found someone who could do artwork on artificial leg material and now she has tattoos on her prosthesis!
