A personal protection system has a shaft that can be secured into a pair of end bases that mount to a surface of the surroundings of the user. The shaft and bases are configured to appear as a natural part of the surroundings, such as a support bar or rail, when the shaft is stored. The shaft can be removed, and has an end portion adapted to provide a weapon for self defense. For example, the end portion can employ a piercing point, a syringe and needle for injecting a bio-toxin, a canister for spraying a chemical irritant, an appliance for generating an electrical shock, or combinations of these elements. Preferably, the shaft is secured into the bases so as to be usable for support. It is further preferred for the bases to be configured to disguise the fact that the shaft can be removed.

Personal protection system

The apparel of the present invention provides a method for creating the allusion of the wearer having a body tattoo. The apparel has an upper layer of material that forms the body of the apparel. An opening is formed within the upper layer to reveal or expose a lower layer of material attached at its periphery to the upper layer. The opening within the upper layer of material is formed by a jagged edge to give the appearance of a tear within the material. The lower layer is a different color than the upper layer of material and is preferably the same color of the wearer's skin tone to give the illusion that the torn area is revealing the wearer's skin. A tattoo is chosen by the wearer and added to the lower layer of material. The tattoo may be a permanent addition to the lower layer or may be removably attached to the lower layer.

Tattooed tear wear

The patch of the present invention provides a method for creating the illusion of an apparel wearer or other substrate, such as a vehicle or advertising medium of having a body tattoo. The patch has a top layer of material that includes a tattoo design surrounded by a bottom layer having a skin-toned or substrate matching colored background. The patch may be purchased with a pre-selected tattoo design permanently affixed to the background or removably fastened for replacement with a new tattoo design. The patch may also include material surrounding the skin-toned or substrate matching colored background. The surrounding material has a torn edge along the perimeter mating with the top layer to give the appearance of a tear within the material.
