MegaSack DRAW - This year's winner is user - rgwb
We will be in touch
Good friend has bought me a £50 gift voucher for a local and decent tattoo artist for a Xmas pressy. Trouble is I don't have any ink and didn't[i]really[/i] plan on having any only because I'd never decided on an image or artwork that felt personal enough to me to adorn my skin for life even though considering it for 20+ years
My long departed grandfather rode a 1954 Raleigh Superbe for his twilight years which has some great stories attached to it which I now own and very occasionally ride. hence thinking something along those lines rather than chainring calf tats!
Inspire me with your classy bike related ink-ing!

The one I've been considering for years is the imprint a greasy chain ring leaves on the back of your leg.
If you don't know what you want then ask your friend to swap it for the cash , you shouldn't get a tattoo just because you have a voucher.
It took me years to decide what I wanted in a tattoo and then I was disappointed with the result , I lived with a tattoo I wasn't keen on for about 10 years before having it altered last year.
You know when your calf catches your chain ring and you get that black imprint of the teeth in your skin? Just get that done, permanently.
Nice felt pen work on JoeG's post
A guy on here has a 4th cat chainring tattoo, well cool.
I think I'm going for stimpy on my shoulder.
OP is there a Superbe logo or something from that bike you like? It's all about what's personal to you.
Why don't you do a raffle on here and the winner would have their username tattooed on your bum.
I went for permanent chainring and pedal pin scarification, shows as a nice purple at this time of year.
Any chance of a pic of that plz Malvern dude?
Wonder if Al got his done - http://singletrackworld.com/forum/topic/tattoos-again#singletrack
Mine is a broken fixed gear cog. Broken because I used to break everything.
My next will be a bike silhouette possibly with the word ride next to it, or something vaguely similar.

The red ink on this one went a bit patchy for some reason, might get it re-inked at some point.
I didn't Dez, but have settled on a character, just need to find an image.
