Tattooed Plywood Limbs

MartinaLIMBS Allows You to Buy Prosthetics With Tattoos

— January 23, 2010 — Art & Design
So you want a tattoo but you don’t want the commitment of having it on you forever. You can look lame and get a fake one from the Dollar Store. Or you go to MartinaLIMBS and get a custom made plywood wood arm, tattooed to your liking.

So it sounds a little weird yes, but think about it. You can always have this plywood arm (or leg, who whole body in fact), and it will forever be painted, tattoo style, to your liking. MartinaLIMBS may not be for all of us, but I am sure some of you have a leg kicking around (ha, ha, get it?).
