Tats no tats whatever floats your boat.I make it a point to stop at the local "biker" watering hole on my way out of town,and a week or 2 later when I roll back home.The same poor souls who don't quite get it still posing on the porch some with ink some without, 20,30,40 thousand dollar motorcyles collecting dust in the parking lot and they're all hoping it doesn't rain and spoil the poker run they've been looking forward to all summer.

No ink here. But I do have one heck of a scar/zipper from open heart surgery; I think I'll tell my wife that I'm going to get football cross laces tattooed up and down it.

Been riding Harleys since 1977. No ink on me. Since most everyone and their mother now has tats, seems more cool not to have any.

Nope none here. Nothing against them just never could think of anything I liked that much to put on my skin permanently. Maybe some day if I do I'll get one.

Bought my first Hog in `73 while stationed in Hawaii. On #5 now. No ink for me. Had an uncle who had some fadded out tats and never wanted that. If they`d stay like new I might consider. There`s a young gal bartender down the road with a tight bod that`s ruined by a bunch of faded tats, damn shame.

I've got two 'jail-house tats', made with sewing needle and thread dipped in india ink. First one was put on when I was 16. All my buds were puttin thier girl's name on thier arms. My parents would have killed me so I was 'seeing' a girl with initials E. D. My step dads last name started with the letter D, my first name starts with an E. I put E. D. on my fore arm and told parents it was MY initials. That tat has now faded to the point you can no longer see the periods between the letters. Looks like I have some guy's name on my arm now.
Second one, my sister put on me when I was younger, and pretty well built. It's the USDA sticker 'U.S.D.A Approved Prime Choice', placed on my right hip just below the belt line. It now has a very nice natural 'accent' across the middle of it... a large stretch mark from gaining too much weight.
I am contemplating having the ED covered up, but since I really don't like to mar such a perfect specimen, I'm not sure what I would like in it's place. I guess I'll just have to put up with everyone thinking I'm gay for now.

I got one years ago that began to fade so I recently had it covered with a portrait of my parrot.
It's got nothing to do with bikes,
I absolutely adore her, plus, she's really beautiful.
Here she is admiring "herself".
