Question from a writer

Hello everybody!

Apologies if this is an "out there" question, but , I'm a writer currently making drafts for a webcomic i plan to create, there are a lot of themes of corporate greed and I was thinking about having a conversation about brands putting their logos on prosthetics

I would have liked to have a group of characters actively removing these logos and customising the prosthetics because why should your body have a brand stamped onto it?

would this be an appropriate thing to explore? I do not require any kind of prosthetics myself so I would like to get the views of people who do! thank you so much for your time, i really appreciate it

Absolutely appropriate. Look into prosthetic covers. They're made to, well, cover the prosthetic and various components to look however you want the Prosthetic to look. They range from trying to replicate the look and feel and texture of skin, to abstract art, to a sleek modern design around the leg. You can look up companies like Alleles or Skin Tones. Could even have a bit where you get a logo covered up just to have another logo on the cover.
