Feel the same way...most of my friends got them back when we were riding young and drunk, back in the 70's....nothing that I really wanted though. I have a 3 year old baby girl now late in life, may have to think of something to do of her.

I've been riding for +30 years and I have no tats.
Harley riders have changed. I don't get the criticism...the statements about riding girls' bikes or comments about posers, rubs and trailer queens. And now you're not biker unless you have a tat. Nowadays, the term 'biker' is distilled and has lost its meaning. But what I want to know is what happened to brotherhood?

No Tats here. My youngest daughter has 2 but has never been on a bike. She has one on her lower back of several horses and an ankle one of a horse shoe. Oh- she likes horses and owns three. Go figure.

I can think of two tatoos i have seen that i would consider "tasteless". One was a large rattlesnake tattooed up the arm of a girl that asked me to dance at a bar. Most guys wouldn't plan on entering into any long term relationship with that one. The other was a guy i knew with a swastika tattooed on his forehead. Good job with the ink there, bozo.

I have two, three if you count my wedding band, all of which I had before I started riding. Like others have said, ink doesn't instantly transform you into a biker, or a gang banger or whatever. I think tattoos are becoming more and more socially acceptable, but perhaps that's an opinion formed as a result of living in southern california. My next two tattoos will be of my kids names(when I'm done having more) and a motorcycle related piece.
