If I do a 70.3 next year, can I get half a tattoo?

Yes, but only on your Forehead, so your fellow KFC patrons can snigger 'hey look at that guy, he's only half an Ironman'.

Or just get the outline and fill it in if you do a full.

That way, you look like a real ironman to normal folks, but little do they know that you're just the shell of a shallow, insecure man.

What if I get 70.3 in an oval, like a bumper sticker? I can have that tattooed to my ass, right next to my Darwin Fish...

I ran into a douchebag at the pool this summer with the IMDot tattoo in red covering his entire ass cheek.

I googled "half ironman tattoo". I did not realize this was actually a thing.

You gotta hand it to Ironman though. When a significant number of your target audience is wearing Ironman branded clothing from head to toe, peppering their cars with Ironman stickers & badges, & permanently marking their body with your logo, that must be branding nirvana.

I hope there are flowers on the bike course. I like flowers. They're pretty.

They're missing out on revenue. They're so protective of their brand, I'm surprised they don't license tattoo parlors.

I agree, right above your butt crack is where it should go. That way you only impress others in the aero position.

Like when you ride your tri bike on a group ride.

Great idea! For an "official" M-dot tattoo, the tattoo would have another little M-dot tattoo to show that its an official tattoo and not a knock-off...

I vote back of your neck or below your earlobe since you're only doing a half you're not tough enough to get it under your eye.

Can you get WTC to pay for the IM brand advertising?

Tier 1 pricing is still open, but going fast...

Do an Olympic distance triathlon and get the Olympic rings tattooed on you. Much more impressive than an mdot.

2x Deca-Ironman World Cup (10 Ironmans in 10 days), 2x Quintuple Ironman World Cup (5 Ironmans in 5 days), Ultraman, Ultra Marathoner, and I once did an Ironman.

Why not just wait and do a 140.6 in 17 hours, while floating with a river current for 2 hours, drafting for 9 hours on your bike, and then walking a 6 hour marathon.

After that amazing accomplishment you're a real hero and can have no regrets about telling everyone about it with a tattoo.
