It did. But I would totally show my Wizard tattoo if I had one.

I don't recommend it. Anyone curious can google it.

RGNY, I personally hate tribal, but I like the look of that paw. Its not super tribal-y, so it flows a little better.

On another note, I wish I had a camera to take pictures of mine. I have a gadsden on the inside of my right upper arm, a couple Latin words on the inside of my left elbow, and a small leaf on my chest. Next few will be something for Ireland on my left arm, and I'm thinking pistons on the back of my calves. Like these:269361

i feel like you would have to be a cycling bauce to have pistons on your legs

I've seen the piston-leg tattoos enough, both online and in real life, to start wondering if those who have them run into each other very often. Is it kind of awkward, like wearing the same shirt as someone? Probably worse?

That sticker is pretty baller though.

The piston calves tattoos are from Jack Lindquist. I see him quite often at my local velodrome in encino, ca. As well as the LA Velo Center. And yes he can back those tattoos up, especially at a stature of 6'5"

Why does every thread have to have the word "THREAD" in the title?


Seriously, people. Ask yourselves "Why did I do that?" and let us know what you come up with.

Right forearm. A knife, because I was a chef.

Left forearm. Free promotional thing at a local shop. My wife picked her out, and she was topless, but I asked for the bikini. I'm thinking about getting something in the banner at some point. Her name is Penny.

A friend of mine is an artist, he wanted to do this tattoo for someone, it was a couple days before my birthday, I wanted a birthday tattoo, so I got this. It will get taken to the elbow and become fully colored at some point. Eventually, I'm going for full sleeves, some chest and back coverage, and some on the legs.

Isn't it awesome how that works out? My artist is a friend from high school. He graduated and went almost straight into the industry. Got himself an apprenticeship at a decent shop in GR, and in only a year or so, he's not at one of the oldest and best shops in our area. Guy's got talent. And he gives me discounts on stuff I have him do.

I don't know if I should put this here, but a sqrl asked me to draw her a bear riding a bike for a tattoo. Seems kind of appropriate...

Well I don't have any tats yet, but I drew this up in photoshop this winter and have been contemplating it on my left bicep, but I'm uncommitted. It has nothing to do with biking.
