Here's my generic advice on tattoos: print the design you like. Go to cafepress and buy 5 shirts with that design - then wear them every day for a year. When you get a tattoo, you will wear it every day for the rest of your life - most people can't imagine that - but if you get 5 shirts (still less than the cost, and much easier to take off!!) then you get some idea.

As for a PK Tat - Haack's is awesome!

If you don't know what a Haack is then you have no business getting a parkour related tattoo :P

I beg to differ. Maybe "many aspects", "lots of aspects", but certainly not every aspect.

If you answer this correclty, I'll believe you -

Before this gets too out of hand, the girl in the middle is Leon's girlfriend. and NONE of you should get PK tattoos!

lol I never saw that coming!

As for the tattoo part, I agree slightly. A shirt would be much better because it's something everyone can see!

Hee! This thread is making me giggle. Mark, your suggestion about using the t-shirts to see if you could live with a tattoo is a great one.

I wonder if Cafe Press or someplace like that does temporary tattoos?

as though there were some obstacle in the way;
and yet: as though, once it was overcome,
she would be beyond all walking, and would fly.

cloud is the sexy one and i recommend mot getting a parkour tattoo, instead look at your favorite aspect of pk, balace or stength or something, and see if that inspires an idea

Hahaha.
Well, according to Urban Dictionary, a haack is:
A complete loser who generally plays in his/her high school band and sits at home when not busy doing homework or practicing BLOWING into their instrument, by playing video games all day.

But I doubt that's what you're going for...HOWEVER!
Leon is by far the sexiest person in the car.  Leon is someone who could play video games all day.  Leon is a haack!
