Tattoo
 

lil brothers G/f is gonna get me a tat or my birthday. I want something small and cycling related. I just wanted to see if you guys had any input. Its gotta be something airly small and without much color.I was thinking either this.

Or this.

gross... that picture is so wrong...

Who cares; choose your own tattoo man, its going to be on you FOREVER!

Dude, they totally stole skate goat and put wheels on him!

And I think you should get a "Triplets of Belville" sleeve.

Hey, that's my idea! Except on my leg. And of a part that has no bicycles in it.

I meant more of a collage and was joking because he wants something small. but awesome for you. I don't think its really 'your' idea, I mean, I'm sure there are plenty of people who have thought/acted on that before.

DR- Get whatever you would like. Personally, I think both of those tattoos are completely tasteless, ugly, boring, and lame. You might think differently. Make yourself happy, not the SSFG bike community.

I know dude, I was kidding around. It's from a movie that I'm sure everyone on here has seen, it's not like I drew it.

i wouldn't get that last one unless you actually are one of the goatheadz...

Also, OP, I don't know that getting a tattoo just for the sake of getting a tattoo is such a good idea. I did that when I turned 18, and now I have a bunch of stupid tattoos. Fortunately I've continued to get stupid tattoos since that time, so they kind of blend in, but when you have to look at the same thing every single day for forever, it better be pretty.

You should have told me that BEFORE I got married! *rimshot*

OH! Shiz will be here all week.

As for the original poster, I think this http://accelerate.oldskooltrack.com/...gle.tattoo.bmp
is better, or even a tattoo of a cog, or Times New Roman, 12-point letters that say "Look at me, everyone! I often ride two-wheeled pedalcycles."

If you're going to get a tattoo that small, please don't get it in a space designed for larger tattoos (like on your leg). it looks awful.

p.s. details don't hold up well in small tattoos

Oh my god, so good.

Absolutely true. In fact, don't go small at all. Unless it's on the small of your back, then you're on your own.

If you must go small, go with a foot tat.

+1 on smudgy details on small tattoos. especially that picture ... the writing in yellow on a black background would not work well.

and seriously get something you want and don't rush into it. think about it for a while and if you still want the same thing in a few weeks, or even better a few months, then get it.

alright, this picture freaked me out...i didn't realize it was black and white for about 20 seconds.


i was wondering "do tattoo artists practice on cadavers now?"

I agree, something that small & detailed will slowly become a blob after the sun & time have their way with it.

i've got rather large tattoos on both of my feet. i really can't think of any place i'd want to get a small tattoo because as everyone has said before, detailing something small is hard to do and eventually it will all blend in and be somewhat undefined.

"Look at me, everyone! I often ride two-wheeled pedalcycles."

^^NICE ONE^^

Go skydiving instead

I have the "Le Tour" logo on the back of one calf to mark my awesome trip there in '04 to see Lance break the record.

I just got the T-shirt...

steal yer face.

Could always go for the ever-original chainring grease tattoo...

I'm sorry, but I find the concept of thinking that the human body was designed to be a holding place for various sizes of tattoos so hilarious I had to comment.

Calves are for huge tattoos though, I agree.
