    At 64, I got my first ink last week and I'm already thinking about the next one. I'd like to see some V8 tatt's. I'm thinkin like a 34 hubcap V8 emblem. Got any?

    I'm sure you've been told, but ya gotta watch those tats, they are habit forming! Got my first (a winged wheel) done over twenty years ago and many since. I hope that they are still ledgable at 64.

    it's sideways because it hard to take a picture of your own leg.
    the V8 on the head is awesome.

    Try to find any Little Vinnie Meyers or Dave Waugh's flash. They had the best gearhead stuff. Check out Shahn Andersons Electric Dragonland Tattoo Minneapolis, MN he is doing a B/A race scene on Jesse Neese, a blown Hemi Duece( ala Big Daddy) racing a baby carriage with a Nailhead. He also did and exploded view Hemi for a leg sleeve.

    There's a nice looking lady I see in in/around Los Angeles car events ( LA Roadsters and the Grand National Roadster Show ) that has a big V8 on her chest. She wears low cut ( but stylish ) blouses to reveal the very colorful and well done tattoo. It covers her entire chest from her neck down to where the blouse starts. The blouse shows a LOT of cleveage ... and tattoo. The tattoo goes on down where I could not see ... for the blouse.

    I have wanted to ask her if I could take a polite photo of the tattoo but never have. Nothing out of the way ... just a photo of how she looks walking around. I think she was with one of the vendors in the Swede Palace part that Axle does.

    That's some very serious Ford dedication! Especially when your hamb name is "Bullet Nose" and your avatar is of a bullet nose Stude. Very open minded or did you switch teams? No criticism, just curious as that really is a very impressive Ford tribute for sure.
