I got a new climbing helmet and it's bright orange. I want some ideas for cool designs I can have my tattoo artist paint on it for me, because I don't want it to be so plain.

Something other than the usual tire tread pattern, obviously.

That'd be sexy HOI.

I was thinking about some old school 50's flames on the front and then a modified jolly rodger on the back. A skull with a rope coil, and an ice axe crossed behind it. I dunno. Gimme some cool ideas.

maybe just paint the back to look like the back of a real skull, and a big hole busted out with a brain underneath.

Put a giant safety pin through it and hang some flesh colored mosquito netting off the rim.

So the rocks know where to land when they're falling on you.

So in the 1980's a Major university made of study of the purpose of the "helmet" on top of a guy's little "soldier"
After a year and a half a million dollars they found nothing except it is for pleasure.

Then a women's rights group did a restudy of the subject and after two years and three times the money found basically the same thing.

A group of Marines read about the study, they all donated $20 a piece and bought some beer and spent a night getting drunk and made the conclusion that its there to keep your hand from slipping off.

fitting considering my first couple climbing experiences.

I was thinking more along the lines of pictures instead of words.

that plus you might not get the type of reception you would expect if you put that on your helmet.

only on courthouse rock last summer. Remember you gave me a rash o' chit for not using pro?

The helmet was bought for the CO trip, but I've been reading a lot about mountaineering, and I think I may be up to taking some classes.
