I have never worn them but I guess it would depend on how much you sweat.

Re: 26.2 & 13.1 Temporary Marathon Tattoos
At PF Chang's Rock n' Roll in Jan there were temp tattoos in the goodie bags from the expo. My girlfriend and I both put them on. Mine lasted from Sunday morning until I scrubbed it off on Friday. These were like 4 colors, I was surprised how well they lasted. Just be sure you follow the directions when applying.

I am toying with a real 26.2 tattoo! I want in on my ankle kust below the inside ankle bone and above the heel. Not sure though but maybe after my marathon madness. I need 2 weeks to let it heal in a good way.

This would give you enough time to really sit back and do nothing, right?

You saw the one that Dave got on his calf, right? He posted on the old board. It was pretty awesome. I'm not a tat girl, but if I make the 7 continents, I think that would be justification for a cool one on my foot. I've gotta say I like the idea for that placement, Jimmy. One of the reasons I'm hesitant to get one is because of all that professional stuff I do. I've already had a client stalk me, I don't need to give them any more ammo by displaying my hobbies on my body.

And Jimmy, speaking of professional stuff, I thought of you last night. Yesterday in Pgh we were supposed to get only rain, instead we got 6-8 inches of snow! The poor weatherman on the 10 o'clock news was like... "Yeah.... didn't see that one coming..."

Well, that's the reverse of what happened here, we were supposed to get somewhere between 4 and 8 inches, we got 2 if we're generous.

Why would that remind you of me Kat? I have never been wrong on my forecast!LOL I can honestly say I have never been wrong to that degree but I know what you mean. Yeah the placement of the tat is very appealing to me. Liz does not like the idea because I always wear sandals but then that is why I like the area. It beats the forearm or the never displayed back. I am going to challenge the 7 continents when I get stationed over seas.

Only reminded me because you have forecasting skills. And you're right about back placement. Chris got his family coat of arms on his back at Miami Ink... I don't normally like tats, but this one is amazing.... and no one ever sees it.
