Critique My Ride...my latest INK!
Quote | Reply
I decided last night to get "inked" for the 2nd time. Wife is in San Diego for the Team Timex Camp, I was bored, it's my birthday Monday.

I need some oppinions on my position.

Apart from your seat being too high, it looks good :-)

Cool tattoo!

Too many spacers...
teardrop helmet is sticking up in non aero fashion...
seat too high...
not a carbon P3...
clinchers aren't "real" race wheels...
you need a rear disc/H3 front...
Q rings are on set on the wrong position...
you're not riding steep enough...

dude, sorry to tell you that you need to go back and get re-inked!

Seriously, happy birthday. I like the colors your artist chose.

And he's also not going to get very far without a chain.

actually, of all the tri related tattoos I've seen, that one is pretty cool. At least it's fun, and not all serious and shit.

Awesome. I love the way the sprocket looks like a buzz saw blade!

Thanks. The artist and I thought about just a circular chain ring and chain but the size of the tattoo would support a chain (but for a small black line) so I thought a "buzz-saw" looking chain ring did the trick.

Nice ink job. I think it's funny that you posted that today because I'm going to get IM tattoo which will be my first one in about 2 hours now.

Very cool. My first one was a simple M-Dot a few years ago. Post some pictures tonight, if you can.

I kind of want to wait for mine to heal first. We'll see how it turns out tonight though.

No, don't wait. It will look really good when you first get it, then it will look like crap for several days, then it will "set" and look normal. Best time for the pic is right away (unless you are a bleeder, then it could be messy)...

OKOKOK, I'll get a few pictures of it tonight.

One thing that I can't decide. Should I get it on the back of my calf or on the side of my calf? It's about 6" tall and 4" wide.

Here it is about 90 minutes after I walked out of the place.

It's about 6.5" tall so it isn't exactly the small, typical first piece.

It's an M-dot, you idiot. Hold the picture on its side, you'll see it clearly.
Sheesh.

Nice one, Eric! Hope you heal fast!

No, he needs to hold it at exactly a 33.67 degree angle and then cross his eyes to look through the tattoo and then the M-dot will magically appear.

Thanks. I hope it heals quickly so the 6 will fade to a medium gray that I want.

BTW, did the half Iron on Sunday have 500 people in it? I'm wondering if you got 2 of your 3 top 8 finishes in the first weekend of the race season.
