Markered Motorcycles

Business Partners Use 4 Sharpies to Create Shiyonin, a Tattood Bike

Two friends, Jesse Lockhart and Nick Schuman, have covered a $10,000 motorcycle in permanent marker to attract attention to their new custom paint shop.

The marked motorcycle is called Shiyonin (means servant of God) and it features brilliant graffiti across the entire body done using a Sharpie. Using two Sharpies a piece, the partners started on opposite sides and met in the middle with no rhyme or reason.

Shiyonin is a brilliant display of artwork and I can’t see how these two buddies would have any trouble attracting interest once potential consumers see this bike.
