haha yes. wear arm warmers even at 100 degree temps. gotta protect your "investment". im not pokin fun seriously it's just a tough thing to juggle with cycling. i understand tats look sweet and shouldn't hinder your hobbies. but you take the risk. i know a guy who is in the process of healing a sleave. i'll let you know how it goes. my cat 5 scars have only recently become invisible after 2+ years. under armour and sleaves. a MUST. i can't imagine what i would have to deal with if i had a very discriptive coi fish on my forarm.
