Automotive tattoo suggestions
-
I want a tattoo that shows I'm a car enthusiast, but I can't think of anything that properly captures it that would be simple enough for a tattoo.
I'm not a manual apologist nor am I a gasoline-only enthusiast, so nothing like a shift pattern or an octane molecule. I'm thinking something horse based but want to avoid any sort of Mustang, Bronco or Ferrari connotation.
I'm at a loss lol, any input would be appreciated.

@carbon-fiber-sasquatch Get “Real People” across your chest and “Not Actors” across your stomach.
That, or a fiery alternator on your arm.
-
Get a turbo tattoo.

@jordan came here for this

@jordan That was supposed to be my thumbnail lol! But it looks like the link is busted
-
@carbon-fiber-sasquatch Something like a steering wheel maybe? My first thought was a wheel, but style changes on them every couple years so that wouldn't look great for long.
**disclaimer - I have no tattoos
-
@carbon-fiber-sasquatch You should get a 10mm socket tattoo.
-
@carbon-fiber-sasquatch How about something like this?
-
@mastermario or one of these
-
@Carbon-Fiber-Sasquatch Should be based on something you like. If you like racing, I'd pick a favorite track. Something like that.
I also have no tattoos, so YMMV.

@carbon-fiber-sasquatch I have had an idea brewing for years and it's still in my mind - to make simple pictograms of all the cars I have owned (or will own) and have those tattooed. For now it's a Volvo V70, S70 and Twingo. The idea is to get every next car done as well... I made some mockups using random photos in photoshop, too.
If you want me to help out in any way if you like this idea of pictograms, let me know.
-
Done.
-
@carbon-fiber-sasquatch Have you decided where the tattoo is going to be? @HFV's road sign suggestion gives me an idea for a stop sign tattoo, which could be useful in the palm of your hand...

Only one place that makes sense.

@carbon-fiber-sasquatch If you don't know what you want, you shouldn't be permanently scribing anything onto your body.

Mobil Pegasus???

@otto How are you doing? I saw your region of the world had a bit of a shake up the other day.
-
I knew a guy that had a simplified profile picture of a head, open at the top, with gears coming out of it.
Gearhead, get it?
I always thought that was a neat tat, but I couldn't be happy with that pun as a tattoo unless I came up with it myself.

I’ve had this thought before but am not artistic at all. I might fire you a list sometime if you feel like having a go at it.

@carbon-fiber-sasquatch
For most of us around here this would be a good one. -
@f86sabre Oh. That is good
