Anyone here with a cycling Tattoo that shows your love for the bike? if so can you describe it or perhaps post a pic of it. i seen a runner with one on his back that looked kool, a Kokopelli running, never a cyclist though.

Found one page, but it was such a poor-resolution photo that I was unable to see the tattoo... Got a link?

I was half tempted to get a tattoo of a chainring going into the inner edge of my calf...but I know as I lose weight and get older it will just look terrible...so no go.

At the end of one of the sag tours I went on..Some were having a couple beers and pretty determined to get a cycle related tattoo...I thought about it..Did not have that much to drink.
I think i would have to be a purist...I would want a small road bike atop my right calf...Have to be a road bike. Not some generic bike...Those that did, said it hurt and better wait until the end of the tour.

nice...the only person ive ever seen with a bike oriented tatoo was this girl who had a chainring with her initials in it (they were the little arm things that help hold it onto the crank)...that probibly didnt make any sense...it looked really cool though

One of my math teachers back in high school was big on outdoor sports, especially climbing and biking, he has a tatoo of a bike, just a regular ordinary one where the bike is built with bike chain with each link a different color, I don't have a pic but its really cool.
