I am going to be getting a tatoo of a sprint car. probably a wing sprint. was wondering if anyone had a good drawing or picture I could use for a copy on my arm.... thanks..

any certain angle? I can clean this up maybe-----

Hit up Arizona sports shirts or indy screen print. I'm sure they'd have some good drawings that would work out good as tattoos.

Uh.....I'll go ahead and speak when I shouldn't.

If the tatoo is free, and you don't mind permanently altering your appearance, go for it. Otherwise, given the economy, I'd stick the 200 bucks or whatever it is into your savings account. I know there are die-hard tatoo lovers out there who will disagree with me, but every time I see someone with arms/legs, etc. covered with tatoos, I see a car payment, child support check, college fund, or other investment wasted.

I love sprint cars as much as anyone on this board, but I don't feel the need to put one on my arm. I guess if I want to see one, I can go to a race, or open a magazine, or take a look on the net. No reason to have one on my arm.

Okay guys, bash away!

Take in a photo you like. If your tat guy can not produce the art work from a photo I would not want him to do the tattoo. I am not a BIG TaT guy, but I do have a Ron Shuman 21x Ofixco Spl. Tat. I got back in '84.

Or you could put the 200 to 300 dollars in a bank and have $100.00 of it left in a week. LOL I have never regretted my TAT.Actually have added two waving checkered flags in the background that symbolizes my Father and I at the races. Just get it somewhere where no one can see it with a shirt on unless you want some one to see it.

Funny Story, I was at Manzy in 88 or 87 and Ron just won an A main. I went down to the track and went up to Ron on the front straightway in victory celebrations and after the normal Great Job talk I said. Well you give me that "NEW" Goodyear hat off your head If I show you something that will blow your mind? I showed him that tat and the smile was priceless. He tipped his hat pulled it off and put it on my head and said "that is the coolest thing he had seen" That was pretty cool to a 19 yr old kid. Saw Ron at Gas City in '04 and he still remembered it.

GOOD LUCK

I dont want to have a bunch of tats or anything but I think it will be cool to be at the races with my sleevles shirt on. sporting what i love the most on my arm. not going to get a particular driver. I know as soon as i do they would get arested for **** or somthing and i would be stuck with it forever. But im just going to get a plain sprint car. thanks for the the help..... great story!!

Man, let the guy do what he wants to do. Maybe he is wealthy and stupid. He did not ask for your personal moral feelings on the subject.

I don't think he asked for an opinion, he asked for a picture.....

Al, its not the $200 to get the tat...It's the $2000 to remove it....people DO judge...a tatoo won't make you a Sprint car driver or a better sprint driver if your fortunate enough to compete..outlaw is not marks on your body ..it's a state of mind!remember the biggest baddest 'DOG' you ever meet might be that old man with a cane quietly sitting in the corner.....
