Looks good! But I would've matched the C3 vette with a C3 emblem, instead of the C5 emblem.

Oh and by the way ,only the last 15 minutes hurt while doing the white, it took 2 hours and 15 minutes to do the tattoo.

Also i am 60 years old so i won't have to regret it long FORD i don't think so...

I'm not a tat guy,...but it looks good. As previously said,..that's a life long commitment. Hope you love Vette's that long.

Your profile makes me think you have a '77,....but the Vette pictured in the tat looks like an 80-82,....and that's a C5 logo.

77 is right and the vette pic i used for the tat was my own.
I just wanted a variety to encompass what i could for the vette.

Why are the headlights up? Vettes look better with them down IMO.
