Amina Munster
Amina Munster holds the first ever copyright on a tattoo (Dead Men Tell No Tales chestpiece by Tim Kern of Last Rites, NYC).
Munster has a small cult following and has appeared on A&E's Inked. She has appeared (with a number of other SuicideGirls) in a 2006 episode of the TV series CSI: NY ("Oedipus Hex," which aired on 18 October 2006), and in the 2007 film Wizard of Gore.
Her limb loss happened when she was 17 months old due to loss of circulation and oxygen. She is missing a quarter of her right leg, the tips of all five fingers on the right hand, and half of her right lung.
Her right leg was amputated below the knee. The tips of five fingers on her right hand were left to gradually fall off by themselves. A small part of the thumb is missing and there is still a bit of the nail remaining.
In 1999, Munster got breast implants, saying she "did it because she was as flat as a twelve year old boy." She loves them very much.
