Zoom, one of the coolest tattoos I ever saw was a map of the US with a bicycle crank ring and crank in the middle. It's hard to describe but a guy on RAGBRAI had it on the outside of his calf and I just had to ask. He got it after he completed his ride across America. I think symbolic tattoos like that one and the 26.2 are pretty cool. And then of course, the ones honoring your kids. My stepdaughter had her boys' footprints from their birth certificate tattooed on her shoulder. It's pretty neat.
Oh, that cycling tattoo sounds COOL!

One of my friends has talked about getting a footprint for each kid. I love that. My mom has always wanted a little angle to symbolize a stillborn baby she lost. I wish she would buck up and do it, since I think that's a beautiful way to honor a lost child.
