Mine aren't bike related so I'm not special.

when every frat boy and every soriority girl on the planet started to get tattoos and piercings, i took out my piercings and have almost completed getting all my tattoos removed.
stupid trendy kids took the underground element out of the concept and convinced soccer moms that the idea is now the "in" thing....

I was never cool enough to have a tatoo, now I'm suddenly cool for never having one... I spit in the face of abercrombie and filth, I don't watch MTV or their useless reality shows. Yeah, I'm hardcore rebelling against the Man, no tatoos on my body.
i'd had mine for 15 years, that was long enoughtartosuc said:
yes the made having a tattoo on your lower back or an armband a trend...but a half sleave, full sleave, back peice and nipple rings ain't exactly trendy and thats what i'm sportin and will till the day i die. They are for me and very personal to me. Those A&F freaks can lick my nutsWestCoastHucker said:
i chose very carefully. i was once very passionate about them. then when i saw them EVERYWHERE on EVERYONE they (tattoos in general) became a very lame trend (in my eyes) and i didn't want to be associated with it anymore. i've had a full sleeve and a 3/4 sleeve removed, and am working on my backpiece. when they become less painful to be removed i will then also have my head tattoos also removedtartosuc said:
No tattoos for me, a few ear piercings (no longer used) Thought about getting a tattoo when I was 20, that was 18 years ago when they weren't the trend. I'm glad I never did it.
people who say stuff like this are idiots. this is just as bad as wearing/doing the aforementioned things just caues everyone else does you still are letting everyone else think for you. do something cause you like it not cause other people do or dont. honestly guysKornphlake said:

Yeah, what he said (except the piercings).Acadian said:
I got my ink because it meant something to me and they'll be with me till the day I die.
I didn't get them to be cool, or to be like anyone else, I got them because they symbolize a particularly important time and/or passion in my life... and I'll continue to get them for that same reason.
here here! well said mental. i get so P.O'd when i see someone with a blatantly generic tattoo. it (almost always) means nothing to them and "just looks cool". i dont feel like i'm better than any of those people or anything, i just think that the whole idea and purpose of a tattoo is lost when you get some generic pattern or picture that 100 other people have.mental said:
Maybe I needed a smiley for you to catch the sarcasm. I don't think I'm cool period. I just happen to not have any tatoos or piercings and I don't buy into the trendy fashion stuff, not because that makes me cool, but because I don't like it. I've got a 2 year old daughter that thinks I'm cool, for the next 11 years I'll be cool to her no matter what, at about 13 no matter what I do I won't be cool in her eyes so why try.erastusboy said:
I got the cheapest cell phone I could find, it's not a flip phone and there's not a built in camera. I drive a saturn, live in a mobile home, I wear plaid shirts to work, I don't surf or snowboard, I go to church on sunday, really about the only thing cool about me is that I ride a Yeti, and even that isn't really anything to dazzle anybody around here. I'm happy, in fact I'm quite happy so why should I go out of my way to do or not do anything different?
I got bit by the tatoo bug 2 years ago, i still just have the one on my shoulder (no pics in this puter) but ive bee kicking around a few ideas since then, and still an undecided. these 2 are the longest lived.
i was thinking about this (ive got MANY variations) for my right choulder or the base of my neck (back), below my collar.
or this as leg band or some sorta band, still not sure. id like to keep them so normal clothing keeps them covered. (many variations, from more celtic, to more simplified) !
both are the oldest versiont, the other iterations are either on paper on on my old virus infested pc.
as for the trentyness blah blah. i agree, people who get tats on their arms, and wear sleevless shirts every chance they get, and away "rube thir tats in your face" is kinda lame. likewise chicks with tats that were obviosly placed and designed so you can see all of it given a shirt that shows any skin, also a bit too "look at me". But i think there is a fine line between trend and plain acceptance.

Me too, I love my automatic seatbelts...just enhances my laziness!!Kornphlake said:
Absolutely!! Seeing that everyone on the street has tats now, you have to go out and get bigger and better ones to stand out. I'm proud to have my half sleave and the other half sleave will start happening within the next 6 months.HippieKai said:
