If you want to wear a race tat, wear one, I personally like them as they add class to an event. If you want a real tattoo get one, I have one and it is very important to me and I promise I won't regret is when I'm old. If you want a 26.2, 70.3 or 140.6 sticker for your car get one and screw those who don't like it or think you're a douche, yep I have them all and they are very special to me because they remind me of what I'm doing and why.
The real douche is the one who points it out and doesn't know the reasoning behind the choice and then thinks they're better than you because they don't have that or that it is beneath them. As someone said in another thread, that's the problem with ST, you can't have an opinion or do something without being mocked for no other reason than for people to make themselves feel better.
I was thinking about using them for an upcoming race (read that finisherpix computer can ID you easier, so you get more photos to choose from)….and was curious what others thought. It's pretty sad I care about the opinions of others on something like tri-tat race numbers…..but I guess I just don't want to be the guy showing up with a bucket and my picture being plastered on a ST forum and belittled by people I don't know. What the f is wrong with me?!?! I really shouldn't care!! Screw it, I am getting them and plastering them all over my face, legs, arms, etc.
