Tattoo idea...
Posted: Fri May 04, 2007 7:35 am
As you guys know I am really into cars. Specifically turbocharged cars. From the first time I saw what these cars did with only four cylinders I was amazed. It took me forever to understand the complex workings of a turbocharger and how amazing accurately made that have to be to work, they spin at about 80,000 RPMS! So a friend came to me asking if I wanted to get a tattoo with him. He was nervous to get one alone. Plus, him and I will be high on painkillers when we actually go to get the tat done. He wants a 4 leaf clover or something, since he comes from a big Irish family.
A turbocharger will really sum up my mindset from the time I was 15 or 16 until now (I'm 18 this month) and how long am I going to be into cars. I predict I will be into cars and into changing cars around for the rest of my life. I want something to look back on my roots, like the old school V8 guys will have V8 tattoo's. I think it is completely appropriate for me and I won't regret it.
So what I am thinking is a small-ish turbo on my left wrist. No color, just black ink. Any color on a small tattoo will make it look dirty. I am giving myself a month to back out.... but I told my buddy to start saving his pennies because this time next month, we're probably getting our tattoo's at least I am!!
Like this, but with no branding on it, just smooth housing.
