As Panter says, that shouldn’t be too hard to do, and any competent tattoo artist should knock that out of the park.
If you google “Bicycle Tattoo” and click Images, you’ll see a selection of ideas.
Just be aware that a perfect circle is completely impossible to do in a tattoo, so your tires will always be… squiggly 😀
Perfect oval, perfect square, perfect line, perfect circle…. all of these are (generally) impossible.
Your muscles move so much that perhaps only one body position in a million will actually show a perfect circle.
For instance, if you put a circle on your upper back near the shoulder, every time you stretch your arms forwards those circles turn to ovals 😀
The distortion may not be something that you ever notice or even care about, but you should at least be forewarned that it’ll never be PERFECT.
ahh k, makes sense. Yea, I’m fine with that.
Any advice on getting the lines to be clea. Like, I’d want the straight lines to look straight as opposed to squigly. I like that the tattoo will move with my body [i.e. circle to oval] but I dont want it to look like someone has shakes trying to draw straight? I should just try my best to be still and pick an artist with reasonable experience, right?
Thanks for the great advice btw
The image used as a stencil to transfer onto your body will obviously have to be drawn with a ruler and circles. Then you pick a position that seems comfortable and ‘normal’ to you, and have your artist put the stencil on you in that position. After that you look at yourself in the mirror and flex and bend and whatnot to see how it transforms with varying position. If you’re happy with it, you let the tattooist do his or her job. If you get a good one, it’ll look as it does on the stencil and you’ll be happy. If you pick a bad/cheap tattooist it’ll look horrible and will haunt you in your sleep. 🙂
