corvette tattoo
Just got a tatto this past Saturday. The artists took a picture of the C5 emblem off of my first 2004 and was able to make a stencil and place it on my right arm. Do not have access to a digital camera right now but will post a pic later. Wants to know what others think. I'm 41 and always wanted a vette. Finally got one last April and love it. I beleive the vette owns you not you own the vette. Am I outa of my mind? Your thought please.

Whatever floats your boat 
I have some tats, but no corporate branding. Just some stuff that have personal meaning to me. If the corvette is that meaningful to you, why not?
It's your body

Not a fan of tattoos at all, but if you like it, that's what matters most. Post up a pic when you can.

I wouldn't do it. Wait two years and see if you still want that tat as bad as you do now. If so, go for it but I can almost guarantee you that you'll be glad you waited.
Congrats on the Vette though.

People get tattoos to mark a time in there life that they want to remember forever. I have a memorial for my son who died 2 years ago. No regrets, never. Also a Harley Davidson tattoo, because its a way of life for us. Our HOG chapter got us through a lot of rough times. And I can never forget that. So if this is a milestone for you, and you always want to remember it be happy with it. I love the Corvettes I've owned a C3, C4 & 2 C5's so far. But I'm not really sure I will get a Vette Tattoo. Have piece of mind on what you did. You wanted it.
