This blog post is about those prescriptive wheelchair options which are less related to the user’s physical requirements, and more about personal taste and lifestyle specifics. Think visual options that take custom optics to the next level, and similar choices for these most variable of products. Join Lifestyle & Mobility as we explore some of the most unconventional and truly specialist wheelchair customisation options.

Tattoos for Your Wheelchair?

Strange though it may sound, you can indeed get your wheelchair tattooed at the point of order. This does, of course, depend on your chosen make and model. But still…

Anyhow, if you’re wanting a tattooed wheelchair, how do you go about getting one? Well, Permobil offer a couple of options within their lightweight active wheelchair range. Both the TiLite ZR, and the TiLite ZRA, the latter of which is shown to the left.

In fact, you can see the unique tattoos on the front part of the main frame in this image. Those aren’t mere stickers, they’re actually available permanently imprinted onto the finish of the titanium or aluminium frames of these products.

This is just one of many customisation options available which are helping transform assumptions about how much a wheelchair can express the user’s unique personality.

Keeping Your Wheelchair Unique

Similar to Permobil, well-known active wheelchair manufacturer Ki Mobility also offer unconventional decorative procedures for their wheelchairs. Their hydrographic frame finish options use a water transfer method to apply distinctive finishes which go far beyond simple colour choice. The Ki Mobility Ethos, shown to the right, for instance, is available with frames in  psychedelic zebra stripes, woodland camouflage, and much more! Also, fusing practicality and accommodation for the more adventurous user, this chair can be selected with an optional toolkit incorporated into it. What’s the benefit of this? Simple. It allows for on-the-fly adjustments. So your chair stays just right for any setting.
