Default Surviving Wreck Tattoo
About 5 weeks ago I totaled my Road King. I ended up with 3 broken ribs, a broken collar bone, and some bleeding in the brain. By all measures, my prognosis is all good. I consider myself extremely lucky. I'm looking to get a tattoo that symbolizes surviving a motorcycle wreck. Looking for input. Any suggestions?

My intent was not to insult... It's just that I'm a non-believer. Angels and crosses aren't bad to me, just meaningless.

I suppose those that survive a wreck AND find angels/crosses meaningful should get a tattoo of such. That isn't me though.

Not into tats, but it seems you like Vikings. Why not a Viking themed one?
