5th gen camaro tattoo - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

Sooo i have drawn up a tattoo that I have been contemplating getting put onto my fore arm. It has a lot of meaning to me so i want to make sure when it gets transitioned onto my body you can see the car clearly.

My biggest fear is the car coming out looking like a mustang

So i was curious to see if anyone else has had a 5th gen camaro tattoo they wouldnt mind showing off.

I will post up the sketch i have of what i want but to give a brief idea...

it would be a camaro doing a burnout facing to the right and in the smoke you can see the words "LIVE FAST". and just behind the camaro is a motorcycle doing a wheelie as if the two were drag racing... as i survived a 120mph motorcycle accident. it all symbolizes a lot of challenges i have faced and have been really excited to get it. Just extremely worried of how the car will come out

Gonna put it on your forum... or your forearm? Why not on your bicep, and settle the age- old debate of whether or not it's a muscle car?!?

Haha yes the fore arm. Sorry phone spellcheck sucks

I would need to workout a little bit more for it to fit on my bicep the way I'd like. Maybe if I had 22 inch arms it would work. Haha

sent from my galaxy s3. that would explain the errors.

Just remember....once it is on your body IT IS ON YOUR BODY!!!!! I have 3 tatoos and one is a cover-over of the first one I got which was not good at all!! Pay for some one who has done many before you and has experience!!!!

Put it on your face that way no one can miss it.

Get it at your lower back so you can have a Camaro tramp stamp.

What your describing sounds really awesome.

ok so here is the VERY rough sketch of what i want. I am only good with photoshop, not sketching.

ill explain the story behind the whole tattoo...

while young and stupid my friends and i always used to say "LIVE FAST, DIE YOU!" we would write it on everything and all of us almost got a tattoo when we turned 18 that said that. So as i said in my first post I survived a street racing accident on my zx14 motorcycle where i was going well over 120mph. I was able to reduce the speed down to 120 (or at least thats what the speedometer was stuck at after the accident) when i crashed. That changed my life and the way i looked at life. So i grew up very quickly after that and realized that its ok to "LIVE FAST" but life is too short to die young. And i look at my camaro as one of my greatest achievements. I saved up for 3 years to purchase this car brand new on 6/1/2009 at the age of 20. I worked very hard and purchased it all by myself. My family was never very wealthy at all so for me to be able to purchase a brand new car at the time was awesome. And i later went out to purchasing my first home at 22 and twin turboing my car shortly after.

so essentially this tattoo symbolizes my maturing and appreciation of life, and the obstacles and accomplishments i have achieved. So i would love for this to be on my body permanently.

Now bash away on the great artist i am haha.
