have you had a tattoo before? If not, you should know that they don't tickle, i can tell you. Maybe try getting one GT first, then see how you go ;)

I agree with greg... i took the idea to my tattooist and let her do the design work, after all they are artists Its what they do for a living.

i was ok getting mine, but a lot of people find them unbearable.. so i was warning it might be best to get ONE first, then consider others later if they're ok with the pain.

iv got other tattoos im aware of what they feel like

i think im going to have a smokey/haze in the background and fill in the bits between the cars

i think the orange GT symbol as on the XY's and the Ford logo will be going on, just not sure if theres somthing else i should add such as the superoo sumbol or something, just looking for ideas here

I did a similar thing with my old tattoo design, took it into the local shop and got them to make it look half decent. Well worth it really, and as for tattoos hurting? Silly I know but I just had a few beers n it was fine. Middle of spine on the bones hurts though.

I think that one would look better if the eagle was clasping the GT badge.
Maybe a skin graft would fix it LOL!

Funny you say that as that was in the original design! Have thought about adding to it and giving it a bit of colour but havnt got around to it. Was going to have the Ford logo being clasped but dont really want to tattoo a company logo ...... even though GT is a bit logoish.

I have seen a picture of a sticker that you could change that tattoo into. It was a bird (falcon) shaped like you have there and it had its talons ripping into a holden symbol and underneath it it had "roar now ya bastard!"

That would be pretty cool if you could bring yourself to have a holden symbol on you.

OT if you have an artist you want to use give them the pics/ideas you want and usually they will give you the best idea how to go about it, even if they ask for some cash for their time. If they wont do that pick a different artist because IMO thats a major part of custom work and if they wont give you the time they aren't worthy of your money.

This ones my first one, Ill no doubt get more, id love a GT theme or a RS. This was after it was just done do a bit raised and so. I made the call if Ford won Bathurst 3 years I would get one.

Im thinking my next little one might be a bandaid shaped one somewhere with some blue leaking out.
