Here you go Tom - these will take you back a few years.

(Unfortunately they aren't bike-related, but they do cover both ends of the socio-political spectrum.)

Two days after I ha the tattoo made:


Saint John's Arms

I gotta say, marketing wins when a customer willingly tattoos the logo on themselves.

Check the wiki link underneath the picture:

⌘ is a square with loops at the corners. It is referred to as Saint John's Arms, the Place of Interest Sign,[1] the Saint Hannes cross, or Looped Square, and is an ancient symbol that remains in common use.

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.

i think he's talking about someone tattooing the IF logo or Campagnolo, not the immediately preceding tattoo.

imperfection is perfection

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.

Mock me if you must.

As long as the wheel weighs less than 500g, I think you're good. ;)

Pics mofo, or it didn't happen.

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.

Seat's too low

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.
