I’m in favor of a body positive attitude, but I also inhabit the real world. I love running and I love biomechanical pieces. I wouldn’t dare get a biomechanical piece on my arm since it doesn’t have the nice curvature …. I love them on a great bicep. However, at my peak level of fitness, I could enjoy such a piece on my thigh. Anyone else feel this way,that some pieces aren’t right for them at some points? At what point do you have to look honestly at your body and say it won’t work?

That is a very interesting point, and one I’ve never considered before. Obviously with biomechanics you’d always be fitter and stronger than “normal” humans, so it really doesn’t make sense to have biomechanics on flabby skin and skinny limbs.
What he said ^^^^^^.

I mean, right now you look at the talking/walking robots in Japan and they’re a little jumpy and weird and “uncanny valley,” but I agree. Biomech is a powerful symbol for the dedicated athlete. (It’s okay for the occasional one, too, I guess. 😉 )

I Just try and look for artwork I love. I don’t like bio but have seen awesome pieces.
I think you have an amazing talent for recognizing fine art and what fine art goes on your body. Every supposed collector should try to reach that level.

HEY! Where you been, hot stuff?
Sorry. I don’t think you need to be an athlete to have a good biomechanical tattoo. I think a competent tattoo artist can design a biomechanical tattoo specifically for your body. Body parts are body parts. They may just be in different sizes and shapes.
I can see a tattoo of the vascular system pumping globs of cholesterol through it. It could be colorful. (I wouldn’t want one personally)

Sam, I like and appreciate your respectful but differing opinions so much, and I am so glad you’re here. 🙂
My leg biomech piece serves as a reminder that keeping fit and active is so desperately important.
I’ve got pretty big legs, I do a lot of miles on the mountain bike which is what it’s all about.
It’s been a tough year though, I left my Wife of 22 Years, had a load of additional stress and long story short is I haven’t been out on the bike for weeks.
So, currently, it doesn’t really suit me but it’s still sitting there as a reminder of what I need to do and to get back on track.
