Our absolute BEST seller! We are a sucker (pun intended) for the darker booty, and inner/ outer thigh region because it's oh so flattering. The fact these feature an upside down octopus climbing up your leg? Just a bonus. Take these on your adventure from studio to the sea.
This design has a phone pocket inside the back waistband, as well as a extra little credit card slot. Our legging is 7/8 length and our 73% Polyester, 27% Spandex gives the perfect kiss of compression and support for your adventures from studio to sea.

Emotional Impact
In 2015, all my hair fell out with my alopecia. For years I hid and cried and was embarrassed to be seen. 10 years later, I did the scariest thing and went to the state fair bald. I was terrified. But you know what? I ended the night feeling totally empowered. I never felt so vulnerable in my life, and I ended up having a night filled with love and support. I started putting my art on clothing to help feel more confident, live boldly, and celebrate feeling beautiful on the outside and inside. It makes me so happy that other women get to feel beautiful and confident too.

Do you accept returns?
Absolutely! If you don't love the fit and feel, just send Tessa a email (tessa@tessalangpainter.com) and she will send you a return label. I want you to love the wearable art as much as I love creating it.
How should I care for my art?
The wearable art collection maintains it's color best with cold machine wash cycles (delicate) and hang drying.
To ensure the longevity of your original painting, I recommend keeping it out of direct sunlight, maintaining a stable humidity level, and avoiding contact with water or chemicals. For cleaning, gently dust it with a soft, dry cloth.
Do you offer customization options for paintings?
While the original paintings are sold as-is, Tessa loves to partner with you to bring your vision to life. From abstracts to pet portraits, please send her a email at tessa@tessalangpainter.com to get started.
My mother gifted these to me for my birthday and I ADORE them. Incredibly comfortable and flattering, not to mention beautiful. Love the interesting pocket design, too!
These were my first pair.. and I’m currently adding to my collection! I’m obsessed with being able to wear Tessa’s original art on my leggings! As a studio owner and instructor… I can tell you these are comfie AND you can actually workout in them. Love Love Love and am just waiting for those Flying Squirrels to debut! 🤞🏻😜 Thanks Tessa! ♥️♥️
I purchased these leggings for my dive kit, because, well, just look at them!
I have a couple dive brands in leggings but these are by far the most comfortable and flattering of them all, and while I am waiting on my next dive trip I will be enjoying them with my four legged friend 😊 Highly recommend!
Gorgeous leggings! If it has tentacles on it, I'm buying it! Thankfully, I stumbled upon Chtapodi Collective. I purchased the Duel Duelo Leggings, shorts and top and went back for There's an Octopus Climbing Up My Leg leggings. These leggings are a bit more compressive than the Duel Duelo Leggings, but still a perfect fit. I'm 5'7, 120lbs, 34B-26-35 and wearing the XS. I'm typically a small in most leggings (LLL, CVG, Athleta, Love Her). I tried small, but they were a tad too big. Tessa was incredible when I asked to exchange for the XS. The exchange was fast and the XS fit was perfect! The fabric is super soft and I love the high waist that is smooth and lacks the elastic band so many companies place at the waist. The best part of all is supporting small woman owned business and wearing her unique art :-)
This was my first Chtapodi legging! I loved the octopus right off the bat, and these were a little less crazy than the others (and darker on the booty, which is always flattering.)They’ve been my gateway drug *lol* to the others (I literally own every single pair now) because I love the fit & feel!
I absolutely LOVE these leggings! As a big Pure Barre enthusiast I love that these are comfortable, breathable, practical, and absolutely gorgeous! Literally any color tank top I own goes with these which makes my barre outfits both easy to pick out, and fun to workout in! The compliments when wearing these are consistent and I plan on owning a pair in every style! Love em!!
Love all your amazing artwork! It is so exciting to wear them! I want every piece!! My daughter also really wants a pair she is a size 7/8! Super comfortable and so cute!! I cannot wait to show them off in Michigan!
I absolutely love my Tessa Lang tights and get compliments on them every time I wear them. Not only do they look great, they’re really great quality. They wear really well and are very comfortable to exercise in. Worth every penny! So original too. I love that the original design is created by a local Asheville artist. I bought 2 different leggings because I like them so much. Fit pretty true to size. I'm normally a size 6 and the medium fits great.
I am extremely happy with my new, comfortable, colorful Chtapodi leggings. I got them as a Christmas gift from someone who didn’t know I ordinarily wear only black leggings (to try to mask certain body areas). I am so glad I was gifted these. They are so beautiful, they take center stage. They really are art! The comfort is better than any previous brand I have had. Plus, I love the back pocket for my phone. All in all, this was a great gift that got me out of my black “comfort zone.”
I love these leggings- they are incredibly soft, buttery and supportive. I get many compliments and love sharing that I am wearing the artwork of the artist who designed the leggings. You don't want to miss out on these amazing legggings!
These leggings!! I wore them for a back to back strength / cardio class and they were so comfortable, didn’t show sweat and are squat and bend-over proof! Not only do they feel great to workout in, but I wear them to run errands and lounge in. They are super flattering and the amount of compliments I have received is nuts! I will definitely be buying more.
Wow! These pants are THE best!!!
Walked around an amusement park for 10 hours in them!!!
Comfy..great low back support… and they held my cell phone and credit card so I could be hands free!
Can’t wait to try them out at SCORCH Fitness this week!🥳
I bought these for my niece and she absolutely loves them. Says they're so comfortable she wants them to be lounge pants but saves them for when she wants to be "boujee" at the gym on her college campus.
I love my new leggings! The fabric is so soft and the leggings feel very comfortable. I bought them for the design but I will wear them a lot because of how they feel! The quality of the fabric is very good which just adds to the whole design. I love the pocket too. Thanks Tessa!
As a 70’something I love these pants. First, compliments galore at gym and out doing chores, incredibly comfortable & washes beautifully. I had to have a second pair. The phone holder in back works well for me on the stationary bike I use at Wellness. Performs well in daily yoga practice and on Pilates Reformer. I definitely recommend to anyone. Hint: no matter how fit a 70+ that ab and intestinal area sags. Mother Nature. Not with this pant. A real win.
