Yeee ouch! Looks painful, but it sure is a beautiful piece of artwork that is meaningful on so many levels to you. Congrats on your tattoo. It's really stunning.
Is that a wheel and a chainring I see?

Wow! Very beautiful. Very unique. And looks very painful. You're a braver woman than I am!

It looks more painful then it actually was. I'd compare it to a big carpet burn, nothing more.
Trying not to sleep on it last night was a challenge though.
As to the gears, the far left is what my Cannondale crank looks like (without the pedal attached of course). And the other gears one is meant to look wheelish and the other fill the space between the two.
I'll send closer shots once it heals up a little bit. Thanks for the compliments! I'm really happy with it.
I'll probably end up with primarily racer back tri & running tops to show this off now.For more details, check out my blog! http://stubborntriathlete.blogspot.com/

Beautiful! Just make sure in those shimmels you wear plenty of sunscreen over this baby to keep it from fading even faster.
When I finally push myself through a marathon I have a tattoo planned but I got to earn it first and design it.

I love it. Has so much meaning to you, and the design is unique & simply lovely. Enjoy!
I'm thinking about getting a second one, myself. Have a design picked out (bike-related) and an artist (a female). The tattoo place is within walking distance of my house, to boot. Maybe when I'm burning some more leave this month or over Christmas....

That is a really great design, and I'm glad it has such deep meaning to you. Did you design it all yourself? Very nice. And you were SMILING in the photo while they were doing it!?! Tough one, you are!
