I'm getting MacDonalds golden arches tattoo'd on my fat arse.

I can't understand why anyone would want a corporate logo permanently engraved into their body. How personal is that?

Depends on what role that particular item might have played in your life.  I can see someone wanting to get it done.  To most people these things are just old junkers but if you are really passionate about something I think you could get a Cougar or T-Bird emblem and it still be personal.

Of course you have always been of the opinion that these are "just cars" so I can see where your point of view is coming from.

That being said, I don't think I would get a tattoo of anything anywhere.

For many, many years I thought about getting a Cougar logo tattoo. Never did. It would be appropriate for me...but it's also not my style. If I were do to anything, I'd have the cat head either implanted or ritualistically scarred in.

Don't forget...I am a graphic designer. ;)

I figure if folks haven't figured out how much I'm into these cars....then they either don't know me or aren't paying attention.  Another reason I don't plaster my car(s) with lots of big huge stickers, etc.

Also the fact that EVERYONE is getting tattoos these days.. (another new "fad")...is another reason why I'll probably never get one. (Same reason I took out my earrings I'd had for 15 years....piercing became "cool")

Anyway, I realize some folks are into it...and I will admit there are a few that I have found attractive on women, but I object to the implication that just because someone doesn't want to mark up their body, they aren't a "serious" enthusiast.

If i looked at my TC as 'just a car', you could be  sure I'd have sold it fifty times over now. ;)

I just think putting any kind of corporate logo on your body is like being branded by the manufacturer. Like the person who sings the bad jingle without even realising it. An advertising firm's wet dream.

But that's just my take on it.

Think of it as a permanent version of a Cougar t-shirt. :D

For me its not about proving anything to anybody. I have a hat with the t-bird logo on it, Doesnt meke me feel like a 'bigger man' for wearing it, just showing my love for the model.
