I don't have a corvette tattoo yet....
And since my son is a tattoo artist so cost in no issue, just what, how big, and where. BTW I'm going to guess you paid $150-

Isn't that like getting a tattoo with your girfriend's name? What if you will wake up one morning & suddenly realize that you like Mustang more than Corvette??

You just don't tell Corvette. No need for Corvette to ever know about Mustang.

I paid $120 plus tip. I had a really good artist (obviously mine was pretty simplistic for him), but I'll tell you, shin bones and achilles tendons are pretty rough.

Looks good but I can't wait to see it after the hair grows back - I think it will look like a vette lost in the woods!

I don`t have a Corvette tattoo but back in 2000 I got a Chevy bowtie with flames on my left shoulder blade. Colors are Red, Orange & Yellow.
This way I can own any Chevy......

I thought every Corvette owner with side pipes automatically got a free "tattoo".

I got one as well, middle of the back. It is a couple of years old now and was my first tattoo. He left the white checks skin color to keep from getting a milky look and addes some gray shading in there as well. I really like it!!

That tattoo is sweet. Honestly, that is how I wish mine turned out, but I took him a picture of an emblem. I like it, of course, but yours would've ideally been what I wanted.

Wow, was looking for a for sale thread I had a part in and came across this. though I might as well bring it back, as I have added another. One for my C3, and one (below it of course) for my C5!
