A pretty cool tattoo with minimalist bicycles is the one that places this mode of transport on the leg, a place especially related to the practice of this sport, since it is through the strength of the legs through which we push ourselves when we are on the bike. It depends on the place of the leg where we place it, the bicycle can be more or less detailed.

Bike on the wrist

Another very cool place to put the bicycle is the wrist. Undoubtedly, being such a narrow site and close to the bone, it will ask for a design that is as simple as possible, and It is even advisable to dispense with the color to highlight the bike without losing strength of the design.

The word 'bicycle'

Bicycle tattoos are hardly simpler than with this word tattooed. Without a doubt, a most original way to show your love for this mode of transport. In addition, it is much more versatile than it seems, since it allows you to choose size (large is as good as small) and font of the letter, which will depend on what you want to convey.

This tattoo is ideal for those who have traveled or traveled through a country or place and want to immortalize it on their skin. In addition, it matches with a very simple design, in which there is only the outline of the bicycle and the country or region in question. If you feel like it, you can combine it with a little color.

There is no greater way to show your love for this transportation system than to combine it with good hearts. In this sense you have a lot of possibilities, for example, surrounding the bike with a heart, putting little red hearts around it or even making the wheels are hearts, as in the image.

Bicycle chain

In addition to the wheels and chassis, one of the most recognizable elements of bikes is the chain. Enemies with long pants (one time I broke some that got caught in the chain, not counting all the times it got dirty), The chain not only looks great as a simple tattoo, but it is more original and its shape is very versatile.

Bicycle on thigh

And we end with a place in which to place the bicycle tattoos, although you will need a larger and not so simplified design. Due to their rather horizontal shape, bicycles fit wonderfully in this part of the body, although, as we said, the size has to be somewhat large. Thus, if you choose to tattoo a bicycle on your thigh, a more detailed and even realistic design can be wonderful, and, again, a black and white option will fit better than color, which should be left only for very specific details.

How to take advantage of this tattoo

The good thing about minimalist bicycle tattoos is that, being small, they fit almost anywhere on the body. Thus, although they are not recommended for those places with a lot of skin where they can "get lost", they are designs that look great on other parts of the body that frame them naturally, such as the wrist, arms, ankle, neck, behind the the ear, the feet, the hands ...

The trick to keeping it simple and not too stuffy is to keep the lines and design clean. Likewise, the delineation has to be clear and fine, in addition to the fact that the color is not too loaded, but is in black and white or at most with a note of color that enhances the piece.
