My first choice - emphatically - would be someone else's body.
However.
Just in case you are referring to what Leica body and lens, it would
depend a little on what appendage or other area of (your) body you
wish to subject to this.
If it's to be on your belly, maybe a suitably rotund Noctilux in
forced perspective with a distant, small M body. This might age well,
and if you gained weight, might turn into an f/0.7 NoctiExtraLux.
If you don't take airplanes a lot and wear tanktops, the very rare
Leica rifle from the thirties might look good on one, or both of your
arms.
If you intend on being a bit more discreet, and don't necessarily
want to show it to any except those most near and dear, a Leica 250
spread across both rear cheeks would be novel. How long a lens you
put on that is a personal matter.
