In need of some (serious) inspiration...

Looking at getting a tattoo...

1. Something bike related obviously.
2. Not too big.
3. It will go on the back and/or side of my leg.

I have been looking on google images, but no luck yet...any ideas ?

I have a feeling you're about to get ripped for this

If it's on your leg, go for a nice big gash, like you'd get from a peddle or chainring. If it's in colour, all the better!

I like the fixie diagram, that's cool.

I saw a chap with a Spesh logo on his shoulder once, that was...less cool

I have to say a tad trite imo. But each to their own, suppose.

I've been thinking of getting a chainring mark on my leg like the top picture above.

There are some really terrible examples out there...what were some of these people thinking???

We'll get the narrow minded tattoo haters out later which will be a bit of fun.
Do you know what it will look like when you're older? ๐Ÿ™„
Do you know it will be there for the rest of your life? ๐Ÿ™„
What if you change your mind in X years? ๐Ÿ™„
And other boring statements.
If you're lucky, Shibboleth will give you his opinion even if you don't want it!!! ๐Ÿ™„

Regarding the tattoos, i think there is a page on flickr dedicated to bike tattoos. [url= http://www.flickr.com/groups/498605@N25/pool/ ]Here's one for starters.[/url]. ๐Ÿ˜†

I wouldn't expect anything else from the STW massive! ๐Ÿ˜‰

I have had all the boring statements, comments etc from tattoo haters, not interested!!

Just looking for some ideas...the 'boring' will simply be ignored. ๐Ÿ˜‰

I can't decide if that's really cool or just terrible.

Quite like the idea of band of chain around a calf, personally.

i've got two
silhouette of a clunker on my wrist and a skul inside a chainring on my leg (original Bad Brains MBC logo)
My advice -take the inspiration then design your own, then refine the design with a decent tattooist (expect to have the p### taken out of you when you roll up asking for a bicycle related tattoo)

How about 'Spesh' on your wedding tackle? Then, when you're aroused, it could unfurl to become 'Specialized' - how cool is that?!

My god there are some ugly 'components' in amongst the pics, here and in the links. I wouldn't even put them on my bike where they could be removed again, let alone permanently on my body!!

Not my thing really, but some of the bike chain stuff is pretty good.

If you do go for it and if its your 1st, make sure you pick a top quality arteest, not the nearest to you and definitely not the cheapest, as, a good tattoo isnt cheap and a cheap tattoo isnt good. check out Steve Prizeman at eternal art in chelmsford, top artist and a rider too. I travel all over the country to get good tattoos, its worth it in the end.

dirtygirl that's what I like about it, it is unique, I'm in the same boat, I want another (well several others) but finding the right ones and inspiration is the hard part, for me they have to be individual and hold a personal meaning

I've got a UN52 bottom bracket tattoo on my arse and a Tektro V brake on my forehead.

I can't decide where to get my Carrera tattoo, any suggestions?

The first time I read this, I thought you were taking the pi$$. Now I'm not sure. Please tell me it's so.
