Cycling tattoo!

ANDE.B

Today me and my friend/riding partner, after a long talk about nothing much, decided very ubruptly that we'd both love to get a "cycling tatoo" done in the coming week before i dissapear off to Uni...
Crazy or not, i like the idea alot.

We both thaught it would be cool to have a very simple childlike stickman-type-design of a guy riding a racing bike...
So i was wondering if anyone has any suggestions or examples for images that we could have painfully and permanently tatooed onto our skin!

any suggestions hugely appreciated.... even if you think its a crazy idea!
cheers

not a cycling tatoo,,but a motorcycling one i like,,well i must do,,,cos its on me!!



done by rings and needles a few years back,,,,,its green cos i like the kawasakiZX

by the way,,,its not painful,,,,,more like a gentle burn,,,kinda reastful in a way,,,,,but be careful,,,,,its very addictive

The mind boggles at what part of your anatomy that is!
thanks for the reassurance and warning...

but i'm still stuck without a good picture to use as a guide....
if only i was a proper atiste....
