Alex Minsky is truly an inspiration. Not to mention gorgeous, humble, and talented — this Afghan veteran turned underwear model is taking the business by storm. After waking up from a coma in 2009 missing his right leg, Minsky found the strength to pull through. He was discovered at his local gym by photographer Tom Cullis who offered him the chance to model. The type of guy to try anything once, Alex jumped on board at the opportunity. Now, he’s the face of Jack Adams, and he’s damn good at it. Over at The Underwear Expert, we have an exclusive Behind The Scenes video of the model rocking some of the brand’s best looks and showing off his great personality. Check out some of the photos below, and then head over to The Underwear Expert to watch the vid.

Such a shame he’s hiding that body with all those tats.

Can y’all just get over the fact that people have tattoos? Every time there’s a post and a guy has one, many of you talk about how disgusting that is. Move on.
DShucking
He’s hot. I just wish he didn’t have all those tattoos.

Why would anyone who worked that hard for that gorgeous body want to hide and camouflage it with those hideous tattoos.

Hot and love the tattoos!

While beauty is in the eye of the beholder, some just can’t help themselves when it comes to snide comment. That’s why they’re called tired old queens.
Alex Minsky’s story is kind of amazing, including that he is even alive. That is far more interesting than an opinion about his tattoos.

@ryhalvey: What is funny is that they are the same people who cry every time someone makes negative comments about models being too twinky, or not twinky enough, or not having enough body hair etc. They say “if you don’t like it then don’t comment!”, but they just can’t help themselves when they see a model with tattoos lol.

@Tracy Pope:
Not like we’re talking about him as he walks down the street to go get groceries. Doesn’t someone posing for underwear ads open themselves up to subjective criticism?

Once you decide that you are going to make a living selling peak-a-boo undies, you have to accept that your body is up for criticism.
He’s very hot, and seems like an awesome guy. The tattoos are ugly and a distraction.

@LandStander: I only complain about tarts bro.
One is okay…I guess. But when their whole body is covered in them- it’s just such a shame/waste.

Tatts* 😛

I’d be very happy spending a lot of time exploring those tattoos.
Alex is a total lust bunny for me.

If you tattoo complainers understood the significance of his tattoos then you’d stop your wasteful complaining. Some of the tattoos cover up the scars on his body from the bomb explosion.
I sometimes wonder why I’m gay when I see so many gays just constantly complain and nitpick instead of just appreciating what is there. Alex is a big supporter of the gays and openly talks about how he loves his gay fanbase.
So take some time to learn about him or someone else before you become another Armchair Net Troll and file your meager complaints.

@b2savage…do you have room for another explorer? I’d love to cum too..wink!

Well I think tattoos are sometimes hot I think he has gone a bit overboard
Fitz
Get your mesh peak-a-boos unbunched. No one attacked him– he’s presented for his physical appearance, and we commented on whats attractive to us. All the posers in NY and SF have super saturated us with tattoos and some of us appreciate skin more than ink.
Someone who is good with photoshop should make a phony pic of him without the tattoos so we can see what he could have looked like.

@ryhalvey: Thank you. I’m assuming they are from the older generation and not used to tattoos or something. I find guys with tats really sexy, and Alex Minsky is already one sexy man AND his story just makes him 10x hotter! Whoever gets to date him will be very very lucky.
BrokebackBob
In Alex’s case, everything about him just works, inside and out.
stranded
His tats range from beautiful to just plain hilarious (they’re meant to be funny). So i don’t mind them at all.
Bjk
If you read some of the earlier articles about Alex, you will find that a lot of his tattoos are there to cover the scars from the burns and trauma he suffered when he lost his leg in the war. So, lay off the comments about his ink and just enjoy the fact that he’s not hiding in some dark hole under the weight of what he has been through. He is coping. That should be enough.
dayglowjim
Wow, he’s delicious!
scotshot
He earned them. What’s said about them is of no consequence.

The novelty act with him, I finding old now. Ok, I get it. You can have your leg blown off and still be sexy & hot to “some.” And some will like the tatts, others will not. This guy is not a gay allie. Not too long ago, late last year, he gave a very dismissive comment about gay men. And when it was brought to his attention that many gay men did not approve of his comment, he took it off his Facebook page, and went the Juan Pablo route and mentioned some gay relatives. Been turned off ever since.

Ment ” ally”.
babybabybaby
Those pics are still kinda hot thou….
misterhollywood
Amazing looking guy and he seems like a standup person!
startenout
An amazing body covered with incredible art. If you don’t like it, you don’t need to criticize; close the window. I’m sure there are people who don’t appreciate what you’ve done to yourselves, but you’re not willing to show the pics are you? lol

“The only difference between people with tattoos and people without, is that people with tattoos don’t care if you’re not tattooed.”
JennyFromdabloc
Enough with the ink already.
Liam
@Alaska_Dude: Precisely.

It’s unfortunate that all veterans can’t be awarded the courage of Alex Minsky.
Patrick Noonan
Why all the hating? I am a friend of Alex’s and I can tell you that those tattoos represent the journey Alex has taken since returning from the war. Alex has overcome some incredible obstacles and he is one of the most admirable people I know. So step into his shoes before you start making derogatory comments and judging others.

Facial hair – check
Lots of tattoos – check
Totally sold. I don’t think I could ever be with a guy without those two things. I appreciate many a beautiful bodies but for me, and only me, those are the things I find the most sexiest.
Tracy Pope
He’s gorgeous. Nude selfies have leaked online. I kind of wish they hadn’t and that has nothing to do with what his penis looks like.
Amalgamate
i think the missing leg is more offensive than that tats…just kidding!!

I’m gonna have “My Minsky” tatted on my face. I love this sperm machine.
lelandjr
You don’t get it; the tattoos are a guy thing, acceptable between soldiers and Marines. He’s a beautiful man both inside and out.
