I know many people who ride and don't have ink. I'm not one of them but it has nothing to do with the fact that I ride or that I am trying to impress anyone. I like 'em. Got my first one when I was 18. I have many hours of work and will get more eventually. To each their own.

On the flip side, I am pretty much covered in INK. I am sleeved out. However this does not make me a biker and I can't ride any better than someone with no INK. Just my opinion. A lot of people will come up with some really stupid **** about being a real biker.

Ride what you ride and do what YOU want!!

I have a neighbor who works in corrections at our state prison. He once told me that 99% of all males in prison have some sort of tattoo so you probably wouldn't fit in there either. I often think that I'd like to get one but can never decide on something that I'd want for life.

I read somewhere that the tats that Robert De Nero had in the movie "Cape Fear" were made with a vegetable ink that faded away after a few months.
