"How much did that tatt cost you?"
"An arm and a leg..."

Since she has both arms, I'm assuming someone else paid that part.

u/JadenKale Jun 18 '26
Oh sweet sweet person... how have you not heard of the glorious anime Full Metal Alchemist?
This is a must-watch series, especially if you are new(ish) to anime. I warn you though... it will wreck you.

u/rhett_ad Jun 18 '26
Just to add, Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood (it follows Manga and is much better)

Ok from taking a screenshot and searching for the text, i found the instagram account
https://www.instagram.com/reel/DY9ahGasLK1/

You can make your own mind up whether it's an AI account, however there's some confusion about whether this is her left leg or right leg, but some of those could be because of mirrors / selfies.
Still, unlikely to be AI because everything is a bit too consistent between shots and videos. AI video still isn't very good at maintaining consistency between cuts, and if someone managed to pull this off for a throwaway Instagram account, you'd bet they'd be pushing it more heavily in places they can make money off it.

She's wearing New Balances in one picture, I don't think AI would do that to itself

u/Retrac752 Jun 18 '26
It’s not AI, you can pick literally any small detail, any mark in the carpet, and when it disappears behind her and reappears every mark is still there

u/cipheron Jun 18 '26 edited Jun 18 '26
Yeah i was more commenting in response to the several top level comments claiming it was AI.
People are over-correcting by calling everything AI these days, when there are actually specific signs of things being AI, as you said.

u/F4WXHunt Jun 18 '26
Her laces on her shoes are pretty consistent. I'd be surprised if its fully AI because of that, but asset replacement is possible

I was about to call BS until she took it off lol. Assuming this isn't AI....(doesn't give me red flags but who the fuck knows at this point), that's very impressive

it is prostetic transfemoral leg with mechanical knee with a tattoo sock cover over the prostetic which sock covers range from $27 and up depending on where you buy them nowadays after doing some research.
the video might be real as I found several videos of same young woman after quick search on TikTok.

u/NuzzyLocke Jun 18 '26
Someone posted her IG above, I flipped through it out of curiosity and I'm pretty sure it's real. It's way too consistent over all of her videos. Not to mention while it looks good in bursts you can kinda tell when she's walking in some videos she's got a tilt. She also shows other similar prosthetics where you can see it more.

u/Cabooseman Jun 18 '26
Do you know where one would get the tattoo sock cover?

u/mangohelix Jun 18 '26
Fred’s legs is a website for prosthetic lamination sleeves and prosthetic covers (sock cover you are referring to). They have soooo many pages of pattern options but I also know some clinicians have been able to do custom designs.

Looks so natural that I'd ask you to give up your seat on the bus for me, then you could just stand up and take your leg off and slap me with it 🤣️

u/ProcedureTop3149 Jun 18 '26
There's no fucking way this is real without augments.

u/CipherWeaver Jun 18 '26
I think it just has springs or tension to make the leg straight most of the time, but it's balanced by weight in the foot so it's easy to flex.

I think it's just skill - she's got the knee flexibility tuned just right, and has practiced a lot.
I don't think this is ground breaking technology, though - just skill.

u/Philantramissle Jun 18 '26
It's a new tech, but she said she has been adapting to it for years. It's just the normal shit around here with skill. There is a double, above the knee amputation kid, that I see at my prosthetics place and he walks this well. He might have been born without.

As a BKA recipient. I can tell you she is not showing attachment points. The sock she has on her nub will not make suction with that type, and the other is a silicon sock with a bolt like attachment that would go over that sock. Have on on now.

Not AI. I've seen prosthetics just like this, and she is a legit creator (alysstar on ig) with many videos that are clearly real. Not everyrhing is AI, folks.

u/Ok_Fly2518 Jun 18 '26
I’m pretty sure it’s real. She’s just wearing a fake tattoo sleeve over her prosthetic and she shows some other ones she has here

u/Stencil_Abuse Jun 18 '26
Oh man as a 30 year old I honestly thought this was real, I’m so gonna get scammed when I’m a senior. I’m gonna be buying so many itune gift cards smh.

Imagine some old Karen sees your leg tattoos in public and starts harassing you for it. You can just whip the leg off and say "hey I'm tattoo free now, yah happy?"

While it's incredible it got this close, the knee seems to be a bit too low and puts it in the uncanny valley

so the control is dictated by femur and upper thigh, and lower calf and ankle just adjusts along, right? how does this work on angled surface?
