yeah, it is a funny image and even the artist said that...looks very solid black and not too complicated but once he got in there, it really is a complicated graphic...took him three hours...he gave me a great deal as he wanted it for his portfolio....200 bucks! But by the end, man, I was swooning abit from blood loss...laying all the black in took some doing...love the way it turned out tho of course and really glad I did it...glad as well didn't know how much it would hurt or I would have chickened out!

Looks great. This is one of the few cycling related images that I'd think about tattooing on myself.

Neat - now you'll have to explain to folks where Flanders is.

Plus you have to memorize at least a bit of this:

In Flanders fields the poppies blow
Between the crosses, row on row,
That mark our place; and in the sky
The larks, still bravely singing, fly
Scarce heard amid the guns below.

We are the Dead. Short days ago
We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,
Loved and were loved, and now we lie
In Flanders fields.

Take up our quarrel with the foe:
To you from failing hands we throw
The torch; be yours to hold it high.
If ye break faith with us who die
We shall not sleep, though poppies grow
In Flanders fields.
