For the Love of a Harley

For anyone that has a love of motorcycles, the greatest machine ever made belongs to the Harley-Davidson Motor Company and what better way to show your respect than a Harley Tattoo?

The Harley is almost a religion in many parts of the world and this has led to many fans choosing such a tattoo to show the world their deep abiding respect for this King of Motorcycles. One of the most common is the Harley Logo and this is quite a colourful design which can be made in all sizes to suit whichever part of the body the owner desires.

The Harley has been produced since the early part of the last century but it was the biker movies of the 1950’s which really gave life and popularity to the machine and a brand of lifestyle choice for many. This lifestyle once included drinking, brawling and other debauchery but followers these days are more varied and come from all walks of society. A tattoo of a semi naked woman straddled across a Harley is an evocative picture and remains one of the most popular Harley tats around today – even on middle aged fans! Sometimes even the most respected members of society have a secret Harley tat and view it as a mark of secret rebellion.

Real fans have been known to tat the Harley name on various weird parts of their anatomy and simply view it as homage to the greatest motorcycle name in the world – these types of fans are proud and loud and waste no time in showing off their inks whenever an opportunity arises, irrespective of what body part might also be on display. The Harley image is probably one of the most copied tat images in the world and certainly has some of the strangest canvases!

So – next time you are at the swimming pool watch out and see how many Harley tats are being displayed.
