Posts: 41
I've thought about getting a tattoo to do with Biking for a bit.
And i've done a few designs but could never think of a slogan to go with it.
If anyone has any ideas feel free to give them me.
Either reply to this or give me an email.

Have you looked at the tattoo thread that ran a month or two ago in (I think) the Sandbox. That was looking for a first tattoo....

A Panaracer Fire XC (or tyre of your choice) tread pattern, in a band round your bicep.
Better than one of those celtic bands people were having done in the 90s.
Not that I'd have one myself, got enough marks on my body from MTBing anyway!0 -
check out howies..... they may inspire. normally have some good t-shirt slogans.

I'd get a tiger, with watch out for tigers, but then i do say that a lot...0

noithing like fitting into the stereotype eh.
"Here are some of the key tips and tricks to help you prepare for your grand offroad cycling transformation.
1. You must get a tattoo. Before you even begin thinking about shopping for a mountain bike, let alone taking your first mountain bike ride, you must get a rad tattoo. It's the law. There are actual mountain bike police out monitoring the trails, and they are liable to ask you if you have a tattoo. If you don't, they are authorized to give you one -- of their choosing -- on the spot.
Now, I'm certain that you are thinking, right this moment, "I'm pretty sure I saw a mountain biker without a tattoo, once." I assure you: that mountain biker had a tattoo. It was just more discretely placed than most, probably because that biker still lives at home and is afraid his mom will find out.
So the question is, what should your tattoo be? Well, the mountain biking bylaws stipulate that a chainring must be one of the graphical elements, a mystical Asian glyph must be included, and there must be a whimsical third symbol: wings, a skull-and-crossbones, or a cloud are all good examples. I recommend a yin-yang symbol inside a chainring, peeking out from behind a cloud, as if it were the sun.
Feel free to make up your own story as to what this means."0 -
i did wonder if there was any relevance between this post occuring and the fat cyclist writing the aformentioned article...!0

Yeah thats the idea. It looks pretty too. Got it specially designed for me.
Bit of a rubbish quality picture. But you get the idea.
And my diamond.... hurt soooooooooo much its untrue.

Hey guys. Sorry for the late reply etc. Been a bit busy sorting out a new phone and bike XD
I've come up with a couple of ideas but none of them are really very ambitious or abstract. I quite like the idea of the tread around the arm.
But yeah these are two ideas (Y)

how about......
'Why did I get this tattoo?'
Dude......if it was me, I wouldn't get either of those tats.
also.....I don't like the thigh script or the diamond.
But hey.........I don't have them on my body so what the f**k has it got to do with me anyway. Whenever I see an adult on a bicycle, I believe in the future of the human race.

The best MTB tattoo to get would be a quarter of a chainring pattern on the inside of your right leg. Think about it.0

why a tattoo? just to trace over the scars already there?andrew156 wrote:The best MTB tattoo to get would be a quarter of a chainring pattern on the inside of your right leg. Think about it.0 -
i like the the above pictures..... didn't notice the tatts though, i thought beccalily was just showing off .... 0

I don;t think it's any use advising against getting a tattoo if your mind is made up.
But I would advise against getting one with words, especially a slogan - and especially if you've had to think so hard about what slogan in the first place (so you'll end up with something contrived or that you're not truly happy with).
There's a reason they say a picture is worth a thousand words.0 -
Don't take this the wrong way but I really think your frame of mind should be
"I really want to get tattoed with x"
rather than
"I want a tattoo, what the hell should it be?"
If you're in the second camp I reckon you are in real danger of
a) being disatisfied with it
b) being a bit of a pseud
No offence!0
