Tattoos

Mods feel free to move

Looking at getting a leg sleeve from my ankle to my knee, has anyone seen any good examples
They would like to share??

Doesn't have to be cycling related but would be interesting to see some, perhaps on cyclists (pro's etc) you've seen.

or this (I'm not sure which is funnier)

Both really poor examples!!

I was looking for something a bit more serious tbh

Ok, here's a few

Literally never.

Sounds like an oxymoron to me.

Is that a moron covered in acne treatment? No need to be offensive.

One like The Beibers should get you a lot of fans*.

Oh dear, the second one in particular is a shocker.

Look at the artwork on this classic then (obviously it's shockingly bad, but even then there is a lot more talent gone into it than FF's comedy Contador sign from the TDF)

OP: The best leg tattoo I've seen is Chavanel's (I don't normally go looking around at cool tattoos though)



But I still just think they look a little bit guff. Then again I don't much like any tattoos so if you're intent on getting one then don't listen to me!

Yeah iv seen this one, I like it but won't be going for something similar,

Thanks all for the input, I won't be going for something cycling related after all, still lots of time to decide on something suitable.

Luke, I guess tattoos are a personal thing you either like or dislike which does beg the question why I asked on here but I suppose I just thought I'd see if anything out there inspires me that I haven't already seen.

I'm sure Bally will be along to offer some advice soon, he loves tattoos, especially on women

Personally,when i was late teens early twenties i would have got inked up,but having eczema stopped me dead,eczema would start on the scar tissue where the tattoo would be done,now in my early forties i actually don't care for them anymore at all,think about what you're going to do,belive it or not having eczema was a blessing in disguise for me,i did have quite a few body piercings and all the way around my left ear,now only have one earring and one left in my body.

I wasn't being offensive.

You'd think he'd at least (aside from getting a tattoo artist who could actually draw) get the pivot in the correct orientation. If his legs were really like that I wouldn't want to pass him too closely!

I was sat at a coffee shop in Brighton yesterday. A girl in shorts walks past. She has a big tattoo on her thigh and one on each kneecap. It looked like she had a skin disease on her thigh and that she had fallen down badly on both knees and they'd scabbed over. It wasn't a good look!

Just what i thought when I saw it!

I'm not a fan of tattoos. Most of them look naff, but the one I saw on my hols last week belonged to a prat. He had a huge zip down his chest, open to about the sternum and closed the rest of the way down, made up of around half-inch square zip-teeth. Nothing was 'revealed' on the open bit, it was obviously just a joke, and probably caused hours of amusement to him and his mates. He had plenty of other crap as well, nothing classy, just rubbish.

Ah yes, the old tramp stamp.

In all seriousness I can't remember an attractive tattoo. I can't see why anyone would want one unless their name is Popeye.

I like Haida style tattoos, I've got one on my arm, I'd like another on my leg.

Whatever you decide, don't do it while drunk, look at loads of styles, choose something that really appeals to you.

Thanks the Haida stuff looks nice, and thanks for the tip! I won't be Doing it drunk loool

I have several Haida tattoos all done by my bro in law who is based in Germany, his clients travel from several European countries because of his rep and expertise (30 years experience). I know it's obvious but make sure you pick a really good artist otherwise you will regret it and then spend more money to get them done correctly. Happy hunting.

Ps it's addictive.

I was thinking more along the lines of really, really, really, really, really, stupid.
