Bike Chain Tattoo
To disable ads, please log-in.
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.Last edited by doc; 09-07-2006 at 10:57 AM.

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.

I was really leaning for the real look too. I have searched and searched for a great looking bike chain tattoo and have never found it. So I am going to make it myself!! I hope.
I would love to get a real tattoo but it is NEVER going to happen. I am way too afraid of the pain/infection/scar...plus way way too afraid of the commitment. So temporary it is. I'll let everyone know when they have arrived........__o

Hey Doc, selling your bike here was a GOOD thing - and I'm very grateful!!
I can now ride without the hand swelling - yeah! And I would be very interested in the tatoos as well. Great stocking stuffers (so what if I stuff my own stocking - I'm never disappointed!).Dar
