I'm getting a tattoo in a few weeks, basically going to cover my whole pec and some shoulder, depending on how much he gets done. I'm desperate to ride the day after, but not sure if it's too wise. Anyone has any experience with this?
I know it's going to be saw, just wondered if there could be any implications with the tattoo? I'll obviously keep it well covered...

Also would be advised to wear a chest protector for your circumstances as long as it doesnt create a lot of friction.
I was planning on wrapping the area in cling film just before I ride, with some anti bacerial moisturiser so it wouldnt be exposed. Think this is good practice anyway for the first few days after a fresh tattoo. Obviously it's not reccomended flying around on a dirt bike but if I don't ride that will probably be it for the winter

I usually keep it wrapped at least 6-8 hours after getting it done and I find it heals up nice. Keep it clean.
Problem solved!
Never say never though.
The exception would be military tattoos. I remember being really young and thinking that you could only get tattoos from the military. Those old service tattoos never really seemed subject to changes in fashion to me.
Tattooist probably already pissed anyway cause I had to cancel first sitting for mxon !
Neck tattoos. Now that's a commitment.

I'll see your neck tat and raise you a face tat. Face tattoos are a big time commitment and even more than that eye tattoos. Yes it's a thing. Look it up.
Edit: I'm not talking about eyelid tattoos either. I'm talking about the actual white part of the eyeball.
also found this one... erm...
No idea if that's suppose to be dirt being kicked up, if it's on fire or if it's a burnout? Also, disc brake in the wheel?
That tattoo artist needs a lot more drawing practice. I think some people just go to the cheapest tattoo artist they can find just so they can say I have a tattoo. You get what you pay for and that's with everything in life. I don't have any but if I was to get one done you can bet your ass I'd find a quality artist. Tattoos are for life so invest in someone that knows wtf they are doing.
i also have a full side piece that is a collage of PinkFloyd album/artwork. it started with the Wish You Were here men shaking hands. it was my memorial piece to a very close friend of my that took his own life. we spent a lot of time together playing pool at a little bar and he would always play Wish You Were, knowing full well that PinkFloyd is my favorite band. now every time i hear that song i think of our friendship. my dog of 16 years also died the same night.
my leg piece is a comic-book style of the Dark Tower book series by Stephen King (not the movie, the movie sucks). i picked the series up shortly after my friend killed himself, my dog died, my lady left me, i became a heavy alcoholic, etc. i was in a very dark place. the books gave me an escape and got me back in charge of my life.
i get it, not everyone likes tattoos or wants them. but some of us do. i understand that i'll be judged by some for my decisions and those will not understand the meaning behind them. i couldn't care less. i like them and i'll continue to get them.
here's a couple sections from my leg if anyone is curious
