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)

Looks great.

Feeling a little bit like a part-timer here.

What does it say around your clavicle?

BIG and in color. Its probably gonna go from the right side of my bacl all the way around to almost my stomache. The ogre is gonna be looking down at a child with an evil grin with one foot up on a rock in about the samepose. The shild will look like an all american 9 year old kid with jeans and converse all stars in a light blue shirt. He is gonna be looking up at the ogre smiling and he will have a slingshot in his back pocket. Do ya see what I'm getting at?

here's a couple of shots of a piece on my forearm...
a little background, my grandfather was in the navy during wwII and i grew up listening to stories, going through pictures, and checking out his medals and ribbons. when he passed on, i decided immediately that i wanted to get a commemorative tattoo in his honor, i just had to scheme up the design, save up, and wait for my friend, mark, to work through his calendar and get some free time.
we came up with the old style ship, flew the flags marking the years of his birth, and of his death, then threw the "sailin on" in, both as a final farewell, and a nod to the bad brains...

i'm exiting a five year relationship as i type this...so i heartily agree with you...although "how low can a punk get" never fails to elicit a smile...followed by off key singing...
