When I first read Rat Fink style C4 tattoo, I was skeptical of the outcome....But that is a badass tattoo! Did you come up with the design?

Very cool and badass as well! I was hoping for the Roth-style external shifting arm and shifter!
The eyeballs set it off!!

The eyes on Pete's photochop were just wrong on too many levels...

I have a harley tat I got when I had a harley. I haven't had a harley in years though. I was going to get another but wife said she wouldn't ride on it. So at first I said, hell yeah But then I said WTF, what am I going to ride around by myself? So I bought my C4. I don't have that either.

So now when people see my harley tat, I get "what is it" So I have to tell them I no longer have one. So of course they always think I am a wanta be. Maybe I am.

My point, although I like the tat, it may not have been the best choice in years to come.

Why? Did the Harley tat have a purple glow around it Sarge? That's a lot of ink....must have been painful...

C4 owner or not, it's a Rat Fink theme, which works for any hotrod you own. Stock C4 logo, kinda different. Of course, no body will call you a wannabe C4 owner, since anyone with a minimum wage job can afford one now.

I've been entertaining the idea of a tasteful tat for awhile now. The only bad part, is that I won't be able to give blood for a year after and I'm a B+. But if I did, I was thinking of a three logo overlay of my passions; JBL, Harley Davidson and the late C4 logo, with all three logo's tiered down and overlapping at an angle on the upper arm.

It might just remind everyone, that we used to (or somewhat still do) build bitchin' stuff in this country!

Pardon if off topic but Roth's Rat Fink was legend in the day. Back in'65 it inspired my own fink rod...always spent $ on substance, not style. She was very quick but always got waves for the fink patrol motif..

And how, Sweets! But then I look at my C4's clamshell hood, cockpit feel and handling....as exciting as the Stude's looks, drive-by-yer-*** feel and sitting in a lawn chair with no seat belt are, I have to say the C4 is more fun!

(amazing how much of a hidden death-wish we had in our youth...)
