Vette Tattoos?????
I have gone by this place several times and thought about pulling over to take a pic of my car. It's in Memphis and I always opted to do it next time I'm in the area. I finally did today. I've seen pics here on the forum with similar backgrounds and thought they looked pretty good. As I pulled away from the place, a tattoo place, I wondered why I haven't seen anyone that had a "tattoo" painted on their car. Then I thought, no one is going to do that to their car......then, well they do it to their body. I've been trying to think of what kind of "tattoo" I might like. So far I haven't came up with anything.

I took several pics that I think would have been better except for a bad glare. They showed the wall much better and I liked the way the car was sitting better. But when you are taking them with an Iphone its hard to tell til you see them on a computer screen.

Cool pic!
I've never felt strongly enough about anything in my life to make a permanent statement about it...
My Dad was in the Marines in WW2 and was injured in the Pacific. After a year in the hospital he got out and took a commission in the Army to pay for college under the GI Bill. He spent 6 years with a bandage over the bull dog on his arm.

James......
it seems as if most have missed what I was trying to say when I started this thread. What I was talking about was having something original, that you pick out, painted on your car. Not something huge but much like a tattoo would be on someone's body. It would be a mod that would truly make your car your own. I'm surprised I havne't seen it done.
Anyway, I think most people now days are accepting of tattoos. My own daughters have one. No, I wasn't crazy about it when they first got one but I accept it, much like my parents did when I had long hair back in the day.
But you are probably right, tattoos are kinda like mods, some people will like them and some wont.
