Hipster kids are cool.
I am not cool.
I am not a hipster.
I have tattoos and bikes older than this trend.
My tattoos and passion for the track will be here long after the scene has faded....
This will never, however, make me cool.
Hipster kids are cool right now.

I just realized that eddiebrannen posted the same Campy-loving lunatic in the other thread we have going on this (apparently) red hot topic.

How about a bar code in the middle of the forehead? Too subtle?

I think you should go more in the way of professional bike racer David Clinger!

He got fired from his team for having the tatoo. Then rehired when he got half of it removed...I think it is golden!

Think I already mentioned this here, but I knew a dude that had his video rental tatoo bar code tatooed on him. I saw it work when it was scanned. I think he might have done my little brother's (not goatMeal) back tattoo...

I didn't click a poll option cos I don't wanna call you a hipster, but I agree that getting a brand logo tattoo seems pretty weak. If those brands mean that much to you then go ahead - it's your skin and decision. Just seems a little impersonal to me, kinda like getting a dolphin from a flash sheet on your ankle.

yo i'm straight gonna get a Half-Life Lambda over my heart, with the words "Gordon Freeman, Never Forget"

but yeah, it just seems like a not so good idea to get tattoos because you're really into a brand/certification. isnt owning them enough?

1) Get a T13 track cog
2) Leave it on the burner till it is hot red
3) Brand yourself like a cow on you thigh

No one will call you a hipster

I like the way the 3rensho logo looks, but I personally would feel a little awkward explaining to people that it is a bike company's logo. This might be something to carry around in your wallet for 6 months to see if you still like the way it looks. Then, I would ignore all poll results and get it.

Well, the pirate and DC flag thing. I guess it isn't official or anything, but I like it.

I always thought that pistons or locomotive drive wheel links would look cool on calfs or thighs if done right.
