Calf tats
 
Cyclists have more tats per capita than the general population.

And 3 out of every 4 cyclist with tats make up 75% of the cyclists with tats.

Once in a while I sport a Chain Tattoo but permanent tattoos are so establishment now. If you want to be anti-establishment, go tat-free.

If one has a tat of a cat, and the cat has a tat of a hat, does that mean the cat's hat tat is your hat?

All calves or just childless ones?

I've got plenty of tattoos, aka scars, from all sorts of things since childhood. Totally unique designs like no other, never to be duplicated. Didn't hire anyone or pay one dime :lol:

​​​​​​​Me neither!! And I have some pretty gnarly ones too!

Funny, I thought those "tats" seen on calves were applied with hot iron and called "brands".

I thought this was going to be about Cat Flats (or maybe Flat Cats).

Don't know what the question was? But this is the answer:

My cat sitter sent me this while I was on tour last week.

Time to ride my bike to my local to watch the Eagles game.

calf not cat or calf (animal)


vastly more common on those riding bicycles than the general public. The reasons for this are myriad.

Most cyclists are cons. Hence the tats. Bikes are for stealing.

So do people take of their tattoos when they get off the bike?

I have 2 cycling related tattoos on my right calf. One in the middle back and one on the outside.
I also have a tattoo on the outside of my other calf.

Oddly, I don't view myself as a tattooed cyclist.
Admittedly, I also basically never think about if I am or am not a tattooed cyclist, so that's probably why I don't view myself as one.

I would prefer a tat of a calve on my calf.

It could be because that is the preferred place for tri-geeks that have done 140.6 to put their version of the International Harvester logo.

It also could be because that's the only exposed place on a serious cyclist's limbs that's big enough to host a tattoo. When you have chicken arms/legs, there's not many options.
