Alex Minsky


Minsky lost his leg after a tour in Afghanistan, he was blown up at 20 and needed his right leg partially amputated. He said the day he managed to step out of his depression was the day he started modelling.
Minsky explains that he had begun getting tattooed during his rehabilitation because they served as an inspiration. “When I struggle, I need something, and I find inspiration from other things, I’m glad people are finding inspiration from other things, and if its my picture, then that’s a good thing.”
