They're Here!! Bicycle Chain Tattoos

[doc]

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?

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

Actually it's old technology. Supposedly this technology existed before the chain drive, and this is what Henry Ford used when developing ... well, whatever he developed that had to do with this stuff!

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.

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!
