Cycling Tattoos: Ideas & Inspiration
Cycling tattoos can be big or small; glaring or elegant; dark or brightly-colored. Here are some cycling tattoo ideas for the cyclist looking to get a little ink.
If this is your very first tattoo, you may prefer to go with a minimal design that doesn't grab a lot of attention. A bike icon-style tattoo is a great option!
We love this design. A heartbeat turns into hills being ridden by a cyclist. Perfect for climbers!
A little bit of beautiful line work can go a lot of work when creating a cycling tattoo. Bonus points for getting done on your calf...you know, because we cycle with our legs.
This abstract chainring tattoo is gorgeous. The smaller circular design means it can be easily tattooed to various parts of your body without much thought.
"Wheel love" ...geddit? Like, REAL love...but wheel love because we love cycling.
The spokes are branches. It's genius.
We call this work of art, "The 'merica!"
This almost-tribal looking sleeve with cycling components is a fantastic way to show that cycling turns your gears.
You can never go wrong with a fox wearing a top hat. This is a perfect fun-loving tattoo for cyclists that don't take life too seriously.
For the hardcore cyclist, this beautiful tattoo, inspired by Day of the Dead designs, will always inspire you to push harder.
Have a favorite route? Get it's elevation map tattooed to you as a reminder of your accomplishments.
A cycling watercolor tattoo is an opportunity to showcase a colorful work of art on your arm.
Sometimes it's best to just keep it simple and to the point.
Tattoos can be an amazing and artistic way to show off your love for cycling. However, do keep in mind that they are (mostly) permanent, can be painful, and expensive.
Please do your research and go to a good tattoo artist/parlour. And make sure to follow your tattoo aftercare (yes, depending on *ahem* which part of your body you get your tattoo, this may mean some time off the saddle.).
