I gotta say, marketing wins when a customer willingly tattoos the logo on themselves.
That is my daughter's arm and a tattoo of one of her RS cross bikes. It is done really well. I don't know much about tattooing but drawing concentric circles (rims, tires) and straight lines (tubes, spokes) is really hard to do on skin which is flexible and not flat. Aside from having a weird kink in the fork, it's a good representation of her bike.
The seat is in the right place as is the reach and bar drop. It's right for a 49cm frame.
Ok, ok, ok I admit: I have a pair of wings inside a spoked wheel on my left calf. The inspiration, literally, was from a T-shirt design.
I do not regret it. Mock me if you must.
I went into the local Harley shop with my powder coating friend* to drop off some parts. One of the guys did a double take- I have enough tattoos that he thought my "bare" leg was a prosthetic.
I think I've crossed a line.
*Bike content- he does my Tool bikes.
We had this Gunny Sergeant in Okinawa who commissioned a tatt on his left bicep of his ex being disembowled, with a smiling face of course...he was an avid cyclist too.
Anyone got a shot of the Telekom Devil arm tattoos?
Now that my fear if needles is over, I just may have to get one.
