I have pondered this same tatoo. Just havent gotten around to it. Be sure to share pics!
I suppose it would depend on if you go shirtless or wear tank tops more. Seems a waste to put it somewhere that would never see the light of day

First off let me say happy upcoming birthday. Mine is on the 12th as well. Take this from a guy who is in the middle of covering a tattoo right now. Don't do it. your children's name, you moms name, your last name won't change but material items and those that you may think will be in your life forever do. Just food for thought.

If you're going to do it, go all out. Get a GM logo on your forehead while you're at it.

If you have read the book "All Corvettes are Red" you will understand this: Do not do what the Harley Davidson fanatic did when he placed a Harley tatoo on a certain part of his anatomy.This was an answer to the question: Which is the greater icon, Corvette or Harley Davidson? Answer; "I have never seen a Corvette owner with Corvette tatooed there. (Paraphrased in order not to be graphic on a family forum)

Your body, you decide. Personally I'm not a fan of any tattoo, but if that's what you want, then go for it.
