Singlespeed & Fixed Gear "I still feel that variable gears are only for people over forty-five. Isn't it better to triumph by the strength of your muscles than by the artifice of a derailer? We are getting soft...As for me, give me a fixed gear!"-- Henri Desgrange (31 January 1865 - 16 August 1940)

to answer your question: scott harrison (www.headbandbrothers.com), the artist who did mine is living overseas at the moment but should be moving to portland soon. no idea who still does traditional hand-poke style.


sorry to bump this for such an old reply, but i have to attest to the fact that scott harrisson rules. he's a good friend of mine, and did two really nice tattoos on my collarbones a few yrs back... the company he's keeping in portland is quite stellar as well... the folks at atlas tattoo are kicking ass and doing incredible work, as usual.


and the folks at daredevil are rad as well... brad fink kinda ****ing rules.

i'm very seriously considering a standard 108mm orange dome white flyer on my left shoulder blade or left pectoral.

and a 3x5" or 4x6" outline of Oklahoma on the left side of my left thigh or calf muscle.

the chainring tattoo is cool, but i don't think i'm a serious enough cyclist to warrant one. even if i quit riding though it would still look neat i guess.

be really careful getting tattooed in oklahoma.. im sure you know it was just recently legalized there, and there's a ton of fly-by-night hacks who've descended upon your state, looking to make a quick buck from the anticipated frenzy.

if you get a chance, look up an artist named david bruehl. (i'd just hit google)

he's a recent transplant from tampa florida, an excellent tattooer, and a friend of mine who i highly recommend for custom tattooing.

I was a pro mechanic for 15 years. On the right is a wrench (!). I have a lage collection of antique tools and I have abunch of these. It looks better as a tat then a straight wrench. And on the left is a 1960's Campagnolo 1" pitch 24t track chainring. What can I say? I love Campy! Both done by Bill S. at the Baltimore Tattoo Museum a most excellent place! www.baltimoretattoomuseum.net

yeah tattoos were JUST legalized in OK.
and thanks for the advice regarding safety of tattoos in Oklahoma. I was actually thinking about a trip to Texas or check-double checking who does it if it's here.

they were only legalized in massachusetts about five years ago.

lots of states outlawed them for a long time, but then something something safety standards ethical practices no dirty needles something something and here we are.

I would say scarifacation. Looks like it is cut into the skin judging by the way the wheel looks.

Got a couple more since last time I posted. This one is a memorial of my quarter-century in Baltimore. Says "Charm City" in the banner. MD state flag colors, by accident. Got it done shortly before I moved to Philly. Sorry for the crappy pic; my camera is toast, so cell phone it is. I'll post a better one once I get my hands on a new black box.

Sorry about the crappy quality. I was going to post more but I'm tired and uploading blows.
Sorry, but is a jobstopper something that stops work, or is it the "wrench in the machine" that makes my life so difficult? Don't ask...long day. Nice ink though!!!
