First post troll calling other people trolls.... you need to be educated, Cat Boy. 

I'm glad you brought up education, with a decent one you would be one of those execs that dont care about the cost of the entry, you know, successful... Its Simba, not Cat Boy, get it right. It's not that hard. Unless you would like me to refer to you as C*mshot from now on?

[Headshot]

I'd prefer it if you didn't refer to me at all..

Sure, but regardless for an event. Despite the hype around the 'cool kid' factor. Wether it's Epic, Comrades, Dakar, SingleSpeeds, Olympics etc .... it's a personal connection people make based on their journey. 
I might not buy into it, but for them they may.

I can actually identify with this, might even adopt a name change in the near future

Not sure it fits the profile - it's a winners tattoo not just some rando "ink this on my body" tat....

100%

Anyone who has the SSWC winner's tat on them (other than the actual winners) should be forced to have it removed with low grit sandpaper and salt.

Ahhhhh SSWC and Burry - two subjects that bring on nostalgia, fondness and pain....

What profile. It is a tattoo of an event, for whatever reason. Some people think the SSWC is lame, personally I think they have a stick up their ass. The point is what people decide to do with ink is upto them.

There's another version that can be viewed in Cape town. Go to the right bike shop on the right day and it's wrenching bikes.
