I like this one (but too much of a wimp to ever have one).

It just signifies that you don't clean your chainring often enough.

Not sure if it's a thing here, but for our US cousins, it's a mark of the noob, apparently;

known as '4th cat tattoos' - you don't want a permanent one.

If I were you I'd stick with the oily mark, much easier to remove.

Or get some henna and 'top' it up every few weeks. Cheap and painless.

I have a chainring scar, a row of 5 bite marks, on the inside of my left leg from when I got hit side on by a car. Totally eludes me how the ring bit into me without breaking my leg as the frame was in the way.

Just make sure it is natural henna and not a chemical alternative like THIS clown found out

I believe this is quite a common tattoo, though it rarely looks authentic - the artists get carried away by the looks of it.

On a tertiarily related note - I cycle for my health, and am probably a mild hypochondriac (my hypochondrion malfunctioned). As a result, if I ever get diagnosed with a heart condition, I intend on getting ideal paddle placement lines marked on my chest if anyone needs to defibrillate me.

Dashed lines here, a bit like this: https://www.cpdme.com/Resources/Pictures/AED Pad Placement.jpg

If it can't be seen, it's this, I like it

[QUOTE 4879755, member: 45"]This is my favourite, but as much because of the environment it's in. Wouldn't look as good on my hairy leg.
