    I've always wanted a chainring on my shin. But I've seen so many people with this now, it wouldn't be individual.

    Quite a few of the MTB'ers I know are well into tattoos.

    Tatoos should be restricted to womens' private parts so I can see their nudie photos on the internet.

    afraid of tatoo, always wanted to have one, but so scared that it will hurt that i never had the courage to go and have one, I'd love a tiny one at the bottom of my back or on my right shoulder!
  • I have a few. The most painfull was a snake on my big toe that I had done at a tattoo expo sometine in the 90s.

    My best friend and I had the same design done simultaneously sat next to each other - awww :oops:

    I've got a gecko thing on my right shoulder. In fact it needs re-colouring, it's been there since 1992-ish....

    After being dumped onto the tarmac on Saturday I have the imprint of an SPD cleat on my shin if that counts?

    I turned forty, thought, "why not?' Now have several. They all hurt. The worst on my chest, "Actum Vita", means "Live: Lead: Power: Life".

    Oh God did it hurt!!!!!!! :shock:
