At the Florida Gulf Coast Tattoo Expo, thousands of people are getting inked this weekend. But few will have a story behind their tattoos like Roman Diveev, an attorney who had part of his leg amputated several years ago. The amputation was due to a hunting accident. "I just made peace with it," Diveev said. "You have to move on." Diveev decided to get a tattoo featuring two dinosaurs running away with a portion of his amputated leg."We had been trading ideas for a while," Kevin Moore, owner of Black Forge Tattoo, said.Moore is the artist currently working on Diveev's tattoo. With a laugh, Diveev said he no longer needs to use words to explain his leg amputation. "I can lift up my shorts and say here's the backstory," Diveev said, jokingly. Obviously, even though Diveev lost his leg, he kept his sense of humor.
