They are finally here :D . The bicycle chain tattoos I designed have arrived. If you are interested in buying any, just send me a pm.
Cost: 4 / $10 or 10 / $20. No charge for shipping. I will be using regular envelopes and first class US mail.
They are 9" long so they fit even the most macho man's bicep. Can be easily cut shorter to fit ankle. Uncut it fit my bicep well. That's me in the second picture. :) (DH in both)
OK. I've gotten lots of questions that I wasn't ready for. Here are some answers:
Paypal payment would be best. For now all you need to know is my email address. I will pm it to anyone who wants it. I might set up a paypal site in the future.
Outside the US Send me a pm, I'll check the shipping cost, and then pay me through paypal.
Each tattoo has application and removal instructions on it.
Lasts 6 days, or so they say. At the 24 hour mark mine still looks brand new. I'll keep you updated.
I don't have paypal. I am distraught.
I'd like to order some but I don't use pm.
Can you email me?

thank you.
Anybody can use pm here on these forums. Click on doc's name above her avatar, then choose "Send a private message to doc." Hope this helps.:)
Also, almost anyone can use paypal. I think it works in something like 55 countries. Just go to paypal.com. Choose "send money". Then all you need is my email address and I'll get the money. Cool isn't it?
I want 10. I'm gonna try to set up a paypal account. If it works I'll pm you for your addy, etc.
doc, you have some nice arms... dang! I want muscles like that!
Thank you (blush blush).Quote:

Those are the coolest things!
I'm considering ordering some -- then it hit me, the irony if not silliness of me wearing a chain tattoo when my bike doesn't have chains!
Hmmm. Must give this some thought!
How is it that your bicycle doesn't have a chain?Quote:

How incredibly cool! I never heard of that. What will they think of next?Quote:

Most people will tell you that it's less efficient; of course the website says it's more. I dunno. My husband had his heart set on them (less maintenance and geeky cool) and that's what we got! We haven't any other bikes to compare them to.
Tattoo looks decent. Not perfect. I shower daily, but I was careful not to scrub it.
Golly! Will you LOOK at those arms!!!
How do you do it?
And the tattoo is very nice, even on day 4. Maybe I should get 20. :D
Have folks seen your chain? Have you gotten any comments on it?
Okay, stupid question here, but how do these go on? I must confess I've never used a temporary tatoo before (nor do I have any of the permanent variety!)
These are cool, though; I'd kinda like to flash one at the gym as I do my upper-body workout. Just wondering how they work and how hard they are to apply.
Thanks!
Emily
I have fooled many people. The nurses in the hospital all thought it was real. Many friends have said "Oh my god, is that real???" Knowing I am so NOT the real tattoo type.Quote:

No, seriously doc, what kind of arm workouts are you doing?
Sorry. I am away on business. Won't be able to mail any until next monday. Hubby definitely is not getting involved! Just head to paypal if you're still interested anyway.Quote:

doc!!!!
Glad to see you back!!!

It's funny, cuz a chain tatoo is exactly what I get on my right calf in summertime. :P
Would you send overseas? How much extra?
Hey Doc, PM your email address so I can get some money to you. I would like 10 please. :) Those things are the shizzle. And nice arms, BTW. I am totally an arm girl and I'm impressed!!!
Hey Doc, I wonder if TE would be interested in selling your temporary tattoos? Or Terry? They are pretty cute! Tokie
Hey doc - these temp tattoos look awesome. Are they still for sale? I'd love to get 10 of them for me and some biking friends!
