Edit: My comment was posted before the context. As someone who lost both their parents and has commemorative tattoos for them I get it.

Apologies if I offended you @J Wakefield

Matt and I go way way back and are close mates. He was on my case all the time about a gravel bike and a personal theme. 
 

Bike is built in honor of my father who has passed away from cancer. The paintwork - especially the fork, is based on the full body tattoo I have which is dedidcated to my father, his struggles he had and my demons as they say as kid growing up.

I actually had very little to do with it as he and my wife put it all together to what you see today. I bought the saddle and had some input on some small things like the scribe on the top tube. 
 

The frame itself is a mix of Columbus, HSS, life and Zona with a full carbon seat tube. 

Has hand built wheels also. 

That’s  kinda it I guess.

I simply love it that there are thinking creative people out there who can conceptualize a bike build like this. Not just a paint job, but a truly personal and meaningful work of art.

Mine lost half their white caps on first use. Finished their first event with the number hanging on by one magnet. Hope you have better luck
