They only switched sides 1 time (year). I believe up to 1982 the checkered flag was on the right of the two, Then, starting in 1984 it switched to the left and the red side then contained a Chevy Bowtie emblem

Just my opinion, everyone i know who got one regrets it at one time or another.
It's FOREVER, and forever is a mighty long time.

Whoa man, simmer down!!!! Tats are cool if they're done right. I personally don't have one and have seen a few that look like they were done by a third grader.....but by the same token, I've seen some that were jam up. Don't be so hard on them, at least they're not wanting a Mustang tattoo!

427SIXPACK....I said i was thinking about it.....When and if I get one it's gonna be something that means something to me and since I've wanted a vette for as long as i can remember i think this just might qualify.

I'm thinkin' bout gettin a tatoo of the c3 flags
My daughter is a tattoo artist so shouldn't be a problem for me
She says ever since that Miami Inked show came on last year business has been crazy. We figure she has a carreer for life, first 30 years putting them on and the second 30 taking them off all the seniors

I think it is up to the individual....the only thing I have to say is that those aren't C3 flags, but Chevrolet flags. Orginally it had a checkered flag and American flag, but US law doesn't allow the American Flag to be used in any business logoing. It was then changed to reflect the heritage, and the Fleur Di Lis was added to reflct the Chevrolet Brothers French heritage.

To each their own, but; I wasn't happy when my son got one.
I really don't like them on women.
To me it's like painting a mustache on the mona-lisa.
But; if you gotta get one, at least get something that means something to you.
