    Bike Chain Tattoo

    I see there is some interest in my tattoo idea. Great!!! General question for you out there because I am grappling with this myself:

    Would people prefer an actual picture of a duraace chain glued onto their arm (or ankle or whatever) or would they prefer something that looks like a tattoo artist actually did it. Specifically it would be black or that tattoo greeny-black color and it would be a rendition of a chain, not a photo. Possibly/hopefully able to fool people into thinking it's real.

    Thoughts?

    I am going to try to attach the a photo of the two things I am choosing between.

    PS Admin, what are the rules about selling stuff? I don't want to break them. This is potentially not a one-time deal like selling my bike was. I am NOT going to advertise ever.

    I think one that looked like an actual tattoo would be cool. I want to get one for DH for Christmas.

    My vote would be for the one that looks like an actual tattoo.

    I would love to have one. I am always going on about how much i hate tattoos and would never get one because I am commitment phobic Temporary is PERFECT!


    It's about the journey and being in the moment, not about the destination

    I won't ever get a real tatoo because I hate needles and I know there will be a time in my life where it just isn't so cool anymore. However, with that said, I have thought if I was to ever get a tatoo, it would be a bike chain around my ankle. Basically, what I'm saying is yeah to your idea! I would so get a temporary chain tatoo. I vote for one that looks like a tatoo, not a picture of an actual chain.

    My friends and I were looking for bike related temp tatoos for LRRH (they were not to be found ). This would have been (and still would be) perfect! I vote for the real-look tatoo, too.
    If you can read this, take a pull.
