Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Interesting indeed....but don't you think this would affect the handling of the bike? Not to mention less aero and more static weight.

Tattooing a company name to your skin? You should at least ask them to pay you for it...

That attractive women getting big old tats should be a crime.
Anyhow, one should strive to be different. Since everyone has tats and piercings I accomplish this task with no tats and no piercings. Apparently I have turned into an old fuddy duddy.

I have yet to see a decent looking tattoo in this thread.

Someone should get their body tattooed with their favorite bike maker's name and have it placed accordingly, such that if their favorite bike maker is Specialized (simply for example), then they have to have "Specialized" on both leg front and back, both arms, across the chest, and then the little "S" logo on the back of their neck. Cervelo fans can just getaway with a giant "e" across their chest.

Not cycling-related, but it could just as easily be.

Agreed...as long as their isn't a bike permanently on the titties.

I had a friend that I knew throughout high school, first year in college decided to get a tatoo. He got it on the his side just like the person previously posted with the hub. Jesus with his arms open. It was huge and very detailed, probably cost him a lot. But the thing is he wasn't really religious at all, he got it just because he thought it was cool.

He was a little out there.

I think you mean a pretty rad mistake. Oh well, good story for the grandkids.

Thanks though, if you were serious.

Women are a work of art. Putting a tattoo on a woman is like spray painting pubes and chest hair on the Venus de Milo.

And JAAAAYSUS, that Hug Life tat is the uglyest thing I have ever seen.
