The orange shark graphics that my Vette wears on each side window, just above the door handles, which can be seen on the first page of my website, were made using the artwork from my tattoo. I had the artwork enlarged by 6%. I also had my tattoo recolored after 6 months :crazy: to ensure that the orange color remains orange. After two and a half years it's still very vivid and should remain so for many years. :yesnod:

btw.....tattoo posts of the past have always brought some negative comments, so be prepared :rolleyes:

Rick :cool:

I would like to get one. I think they're :cool: and all, but I am a really think it over good if it's permanent kind of guy, so I have been pondering it for about 5 years, and always think to myself, "I better wait until I'm sure". :D I guess some of us just weren't cut out for it. I've always been known for thinking about things a LONG time before I do anything. :smash:

I thought about getting a tat for years... but never did.. My thought goes back to high school when there were the heads and jocks.. I was a head and figured I would be for life. Came up with my own tat design and all but just didn't do it. Now I can just imagine having that tat on my arm that says, "Head" would look pretty stupid.. Every time I get the urge to tat my bod I think of my first tat design and the urge is gone.. :lol:

Looks like nice work.. enjoy it.. For me, I'll keep the ink on paper.. usually the check book... :cry

On my %^$# I'll tattoo "Chevrolet Corvette 1974 L-48 Automatic"! :lol: :lol:

Seriously, Corvette tattoos are pretty :cool: Sonner or later I'll get the '74 emblem tattooed on my arm!

hahahaha, It is crazy that you ask that. One never realizes how much your personal code of honor is affected by certain substances. The answer to your question is "no" I did not wake up wanting a tattoo. However... I have no regrets, the tattoo came out awesome. Plus it matches my car. My Vette is painted Black with Blue Pearl, When the sun shines on the paint I fall in love with my vette all over again.
