Tattoos on Amputation Stumps, Limb Differences and Mastectomy Scars
Post-mastectomy tattoos are decorative chest tattoos used as an alternative to breast reconstruction. Research has linked them to regaining identity, body image and a sense of control after mastectomy. The prevalence of mastectomy tattoos is not known. |

Re: Tattoos on Amputation Stumps, Limb Differences and Mastectomy Scars
I would, but I haven't seen him in some time. When I see him, I will ask to take pics. It's an older model leg... he doesn't work & doesn't have insurance so he's never replaced his leg. He lost his leg at age 18 in a motorcycle accident. The first time I met him, he was sitting on a couch. His leg was laying across the coffee table, with his shoe pointing straight up. At first glance, I couldn't figure out how he could sit and have his leg pointed that direction. Then I realized, doh! That's a fake leg! My sister neglected to mention her boyfriend had no leg. |
