Bike Chain Tattoo

[KnottedYet]

Tattoo-style temporary tattoo! Ooooh, oooh!

I would love to add a bike chain tattoo to my growing collection.
The real thing Please!

I would like one too.

Me too! I vote for looks like a tatoo, not a picture. I would get one for my 70 year old mom, too. She just recently cut way back on her cycling!

Actually, come to think of it, a temporary tat would be fun to freak my boss out with. On the other hand, if she didn't freak out, then I know I could get the real thing AND keep my job! OK! Make my vote for looking like the real thing. bikerHen

I would totally be interested in a bike chain tatoo that looks like a real tatoo! That would be so much fun!! In fact, I can think of a few of the guys I ride with that might want one as well....

I'd like to have one to freak out my students! I have a couple of actual tatts, but in places that only DH and I get to see. But this chain tattoo would be a fun thing to wear so it's plainly visible.

I actually joined the forum because I was searching for bike chain tattoos and this thread came up! I've just started biking again, and rode my first 1/2 century (almost - 48 miles, 2 summits!) a week ago! I am riding on my mountain bike (no road bike yet) with no pedal clips and I have scars on my right leg from getting clipped by the spiky pedals... enough that I joked I should get a tattoo around my ankle to hide them Then I started thinking how cool a bike chain tattoo would be, and that I should get one after I ride my first century - maybe next year

And of course, temporary would be perfect!

Do you still have them?

Just wanted to post back here with a pic of my temporary tattoo! It was really fun to have for a while, and when I posted the picture on Facebook, all my friends thought it was real Not sure how to size the photos, so it might be huge - sorry about that! Thank you so much to "doc" for sending them!

This is so cool! I'm always looking for something like this at the temporary tattoo places.

I'm voting for tattoo-style, too, because after wearing them enough, one could decide if they wanted to get a real one and have an accurate mental image...
Art imitates life...

I'd want it to bend around a bit, like my usual Chain Stain. I think it's a cool idea.

[Velocivixen]

Yes, my right calf seems to get most of my greasy chain tattoos!

@radacrider, your tattoo is beautiful!

I've often thought that for the long-distance tourers among us, a permanent bike chain tattoo with the name of each state (or country) you toured through would be appropriate. My chain would be embarrassingly short, sadly enough.

As for the temporary tattoos, I'd enjoy having a book of them. Sometimes, you just need a bike chain necklace with the free end heading south. (Love that idea)
