Since rings from natural materials can break more easily than rings made of metals, the ring size should always be chosen slightly larger. Rings from wood, horn, or bone that are too tight are more likely to crack or break.
Onepercenter:
In the spring of 1960, Rocker history was written when the Hells Angels entertained the probably first presi-conference of biker history. All kinds of clubs met in San Francisco, whose members were fighting each other until then. Everyone was faced with the same problem: the police pulled them over more often because they had to tall a handlebar or no mirrors. That could become quite expensive over time. So they quickly decided to stop fighting each other, but instead stand together against the cops.
There was a statement by the "American Motorcyclists Association", which was not very popular amongst the hardcore bikers, that 99% of motorbike drivers were law-obeying citizens who were only interested in motor sports. Only one percent of all bikers would be antisocial barbarians.
As a response to that, those "elements" united under a "Onepercenter-Patch" which was quickly added to their regular colors. Now they would be noticed as outlaws at first glance. Very common is the depiction in the form of a rhombus.
The first 1%-Tattoos were worn by George Wethern and Sonny Barger (president of Hells Angels MC Oakland), who stayed in Rich's Tattoo Studio after a wild night.
IRON CROSS:
The Iron Cross is closely associated with Germany since here it represents the highest military commendation. It was founded by Emperor Friedrich Wilhelm III. of Prussia in 1813 during the war against Napoleon and consists of silver rimmed iron. It was awarded in all later wars up to World War I. As opposed to the swastika, the iron cross was never removed from the German iconography.
Templar / Knights Cross:
The "Templar's Cross" (also "paw cross" or "lily cross") was only worn by the elite of the Templar knights. The tips of the cross (paws) stood for the connection of intellectual power to the bravery of the knights through the cross of Christ.
