Hey Alamo, that looks great. Post final PICs when you're done.

I keep wanting to have one/some done on me but no guts yet.

I'm glad you asked what we thought.
The last thing I want to see on the Corvette Forum is a hairy guy and his tattoos.

I've always wanted one as well, but just haven't been able to muster the courage to get one. My parents were recently here for our daughter's wedding and we had the same conversation. When I went into the Marine corps in 1967, my Dad told me not to bother coming home if I got a tattoo. My parents are 84 and 88 years old respectively, and I still don't think my Dad would be happy if I got one.

If I ever get a 'tat', it'll be a 40's style 'pin-up' by Kat Von D.

Great when you're 20. Somehow a Grandfather with a tatoo just doesn't work for me

That's one mod that won't make the list. The art work looks good, just not my thing.

It's personal choice. Whoever did the work did a good job. Only thing I really hate is tatoos on women. Sorry girls, but that's NOT sexy. JMO.

You asked:
