[Symyn240]

Just curios if anybody else had Nissan tats!

The pic makes it look kinda lopsided, but its not.

[Irukandji]

Wow, that is the worst decision ever

[boogerlovers]

lol ^^^ i totally agree...:wtf:

[jeeper_x]

wow, it's gonna be so funny when your grandkids see that...."grandpa, what is a 240sx?"

[burnsauto]

Wow, that is the worst decision ever

eh, whatever...his skin. I like tattoo's that actually mean something, that have a story, or remind someone of a part of their life.

if you love something enough...why not. 2pac had "thug life" written on his stomach... lol

i just wouldnt go to that tattoo artist again, very sloppy...and def. not worth the 50 bucks.

[Symyn240]

I guess it is a little sloppy, but it means alot to me, i love these cars, if my kids ask, or grand kids, id love to relive this part of my life. It could use some smoothing out, but hey thats life, its not perfect, and neither is my car, far from it. I like it, in fact i love it. the pic is kinda sloppy but it looks better in real life, still a little sloppy but better.

[projectRDM]

That is by far the stupidest fucking thing I have ever seen. It's a car. Steel and plastic, nothing else.

Oh, and Tupac got shot. Great example.

[Symyn240]

Thanks! Each there own, i also have one tat for my son and one for my wife, all the things that are important to me. Still, i like it. :)

[Revolver Ocelot]

If it means something to you then great! I hate tats with no personnal meaning. On the other hand i would have voted for this beauty instead.

hmm...oh yeah..the shot thing...hmm


how about the spiderweb on the elbow thing.... I never got that one.

[Symyn240]

HAHAHAHA That tat rocks!

[EJ253]

i would pay to not have that tattoo.
theres no story behind it...

im a fan of true body art.

that is not

[Symyn240]

Its the story of my life, ive had 9 of these cars it consumes my life, and can sometimes be unhealthy (like the tat) but its still a story, a conversation starter, a point in my life that i love. To say there is no story is to have no imagination.

[jeeper_x]

^^yeah, there is a story to it...."I bought a second hand Japanese car and it was mad JDM-tyte yo!"......your tattoo reminds me of this tat...lol

I mean that IS dedication and you have balls of steal to do that. I'm about to turn 21 and I still haven't gotten a tat yet,I've thought about what I want for five years.. I want one really bad and when I do get something it's going to mean something.

Anyways for a car enthusiast I know how much heart,blood,sweat and tears go into these cars and its our lifestyle so I can't hate on you getting that tat.


Life is short and if that makes you happy go for it. Thats what I live by..

[gotta240]

I give you credit for not getting all bent out of shape about so many people flaming you. That shows maturity....which this board lacks.


Although i would never get that, at least it means something to YOU. i see many people with band tatoos, skull tatoos, 8 balls, etc. None of which really means shit.

good for you.

[2slow2go]

^^^+1

props to you though dude..
i dont know why people giving dumbass opionions that has no understanding behind it.

[LongGrain]

cool.

i always said i wouldnt get a tat unless it was the olympic rings, and i dont think thats gonna happen since i'm already 18 and still havent made a trials cut.

[S13SilviaGirl]

That is dedication! hehe. I agree though, needs a better touch up by a skilled tat artist. There is a lot of potential there.

[EJ253]

why not do something that ISNT a corporate symbol?
i mean, its like an advertisement.

why not doing something that has to do with you and YOUR 240,
like something that has a deeper meaning

[Tops*]

I think it would have been more bad ass if you got Nissan tattooed in Japanese...since no one would know what it meant and it's 'cool' to get tattoos of Chinese and Japanese characters lol.

日産 <<< Nissan. It might show up as squares or some random character on some computers.

That's dedication though for sure. I like it. It's unique and I'm glad you see your cars as more than just sheet metal. I don't see why everyone else is talking shit about it, really. It's your life.

I want to get a tattoo, but I'm too afraid I'll regret it later on in life. I'm only sure about one thing right now...

[ayuaddict]

hey i think its kinda cool.

i have a tattoo that many people would consider foolish, and which many people have told me i would regret.

that was over two years ago.

still have it, dont regret it.

Tops* knows what im talking about.

[CKAMC]

Woo Woo early bandwagon jumper, I hear quite a few "N I C O" people selling out to the infiniti brand because of its meaning......

fuck ... rather get something on me more valuable than that... shit tats still make you a 50/50 chance of being "chill" or out cast depending on the "scene"

not worth it, roll up with the shit, not roll up a shelve.

[speedgod^s13]

I think that if it makes you happy, that's all that matters. If you love 240's enough to get a tat, more power to you. Everyone is entitled to their opinion, since you did post this in a public forum, for people to judge. People here are blunt, and it is what it is, but I see that you are mature enough to not let it bother you. Props.

[Antihero983]

gotta say you're not the only dude ive seen with a nissan tattoo like that, i was at autoX one day and a kid had the nissan emblem with two wrenches under it, it was dope.

i think its cool you have that much dedication to the car, and fuck it, if it means that much to you then why not have a tattoo of it? although, i wouldve gotten the car itself instead...

+1 for having the balls to do it.

i may not have a nissan tat, but its good to see someone else as obsessed with the car as i am....

.....4 years and counting lol

[ThatGuy]

I think getting a kickass piston tattoo, or even a turbo, if that's your brand of poison would have been a better idea. I mean, granted you've had 9 of them, but still seems a bit over the top.

I laugh at the rednecks rocking the "bowtie" or "blue oval" tats. This is the same in my mind.

It's cool to be a gear head, but being biased to just one manufacturer, or just one model seems too narrow minded to me.

I don't have any tattoos yet, but when I do it will most likely be a USMC tattoo. That is a large part of my life, not just a hobby.

[Koopa Troopa]

Wow, that is the worst decision ever

Eh, I got Guile as my first Tattoo... Went like this..

Uh I kinda want a tattoo..
DUDE GET GUILE!
WHAT?! I guess that'd be cool...


Yeah, I'm gonna pay about 2k to get my entire upper body Yakuza sleeved and cover that shit up yo....

[Tops*]

Guile from Street Fighter?

SONIC BOOM!

I thought you'd be more along the lines of...

[B Love]

I personally would never get a car or a car make tattoo. But there are alot of stupid things I would get. Who cares if other people dont like it its your skin. I mean some stuff is just lame and not even funny. But It doesnt even have to have meaning to it. As long as you like the way it looks then its all good. But a car is just dumb. I mean what if you never drive another car again or for some reason your just not into Nissans anymore. But like I said its your arm so who cares what people think

[Koopa Troopa]

I can't hate the tattoo though.. I'm actually planning on having a dude draw up a picture of my Silvia going through my Friday night hangout and get it done on my back.... With my Touge Team design above it...

Man I'm a homo. I'm going to junk that car eventually so it'll be funny to have that drawing on me.. :rofl:

[B Love]

I would never get a car on me. Maybe if the artist was way legit and it would look good but I still dont think I would do it. That is probably the only kind of tattoo I would regret. But my opinion doesnt matter. I have a giant california on the whole side of my leg and it has a banner that says "California Love" haha some people might think that is lame.

[Koopa Troopa]

Nah, this tattoo shop is world famous... Charlie Sheen trusts them and so do I

[Antihero983]

i almost got a whole engine done on my back....

.....but im a fan of so many engines, so that i couldn't pick one....lol

i still have yet to get a tattoo, i know i want perseverance on either my back or my arm, and definitely car related on my back

[sr20boostn20]

i have yet to tat anythng on to my body, i have bounced around ideas like nissan logos, turbos, skin rips with machine parts underneath. none have made it to my body yet for fear of regret,

+1 for you, get a pic up after its all healed

[Tearlessj]

skin rips with machine parts underneath.

I kinda wanna see what that looks like.

[burnsauto]

I kinda wanna see what that looks like.

bent valves and spun bearings, haha jk.

[drift_mafias13]

that is totally owned. loss of profits

[Antihero983]

bent valves and spun bearings, haha jk.

hmm actually, we have a boxer 4cyl at the subie dealership out of a 03wrx that has that...."issue"....

i hope the owner doesnt get it tattoo'd on him....

unless it says "one down, a shitload to go"

lol

[Tops*]

I kinda wanna see what that looks like.

There's a tat thread in the deep dark depths of Zilvia. I think it takes a skilled artist to make the rip look good and the parts look like they're actually metal.


ayuaddict = dedication.

[cxlo8331]

you should add all nine vin numbers if you still got the info.

[Antihero983]

found!

http://www.zilvia.net/f/showthread.php?t=130472&highlight=tattoo+thread

revive it fuckers!

[Dirty Habit]

Meh. Dont worry it will rust off in a few years..

[Deftec]

Nothing I'd get, but not against it either. You seem to have a story behind it whether these people like it or not. I've been debating on mine the past 2 years, still unsure if I should get it or not though.

[KA24DESOneThree]

I've actually thought about it.

"S13" and "e30" would be the only car tattoos I'd get. Both would have to be simple and small and hidden unless I have my shirt off for some reason. I worried more about my S13 when we were evacuated than my other belongings and my house.

There's nothing corporate or sell-outish about getting a Nissan symbol tattooed. It means the same as anything else, and obviously if he's had 9 240s, he has a love for Nissan.

[sr20boostn20]

I kinda wanna see what that looks like.

i tried to find some on google but they were all garbage,

i got the idea when i was 13 i saw a sick one at the bike shop. it s been in my head ever since. the rip looked good and parts underneath were proper/

[RurouniMidnight]

I like the nissan tat cause it means something to you and reflects something in your life and its small, its not like some stupid giant garbage tattoo like a tribal halfsleeve or something.

[JDMwannaBE]

i think its great, body art is what you make it on a personal level , not what everyone else thinks. if it means something to you then thats the point of getting one. i love it!!!! hell, i'd do it.

[johngriff]

I almost got something like that, a picture of one of my old cars, but then I kinda went with russ's(r240na) line of thinking.

I still have no tat's and no piercings, I am pretty vanilla.

[nightshiftgarage]

pretty shabby work yes, but who cares its his skin, he went through the aggravation of geting , you didnt so who gives a shit. ssome of you guys sound like my 60 year old parents

[Fla240sx]

yea so many haters here....

lots of other guys get Tatoos of car stuff or other trivial things in other people's minds

face the facts, even if it was a naked girl on you tatooed, there would be someone, somewhere that wouldn't like it... so F em

people get way worse shit tat'd on them, like sun's, butterflies, beer logos(lol @ em when they are walking to the bar when they are 40 and look about 60)
I even seen some redneck who was 19 with a JD bottle label tatood on him... now that was stupid.....

car logo from a company you love? not really that stupid to most people unless they drive a Prius or a lil scooter haha

[Symyn240]

thanks to those who support, and to those who flame, that's fine it is a public forum and i don't mind criticism of any kind. I'm comfortable with it, i love it and it means a lot to me. I built this latest car by myself from a bare shell, no bumpers, doors, wires, suspension, or body panels of any kind, just a plain shell. Its weird how much i love my car, kinda scary but i do. Tattoos are not everybody's thing that's fine, this is a start, it will get better just like my car. Ill post up healed pics alltho its still not perfect but thats ok with me. If anybody knows of a really talented tattoo artist in sandiego that can in prove on this let me know.

Im open to all sorts of cars, not just 240's and if i find another car that i feel the same way about then fine maybe ill get one of that to, its just at this point in my life this is the car i love. If i can find a really good artist than maybe i will get the actual car, who knows!!

As for the vin #'s i do have all 9, i wanted to do it this weekend, but with the fires and stuff i have other priorities. Maybe in the ne'er future.

Thanks again and keep up the inputs, like i said i dont mind. If it makes people feel better... flame on! :)

[steve shadows]

I have a penis

that pretty much makes up for any piercings, tatoos or other shit

I enjoy having it hang off of me and buldge out, its quite the fashion statement

[azndoc]

Yeah it's a little lame.

But I think its cool that you have the balls to do so.

Hopefully it was balls and not stupidity.

Either way its done already.

Fuck it. It's your skin.

[dirtdiggler666]

well its not my style but im not gunna bag on you its your skin if you like it than fuk everyone, its funny people will bag on him saying it means nothing, well if the guy likes nissans that much then it means somthing to him dumbfucks. and the people bagging on him are prob the same gay little trendy fuckers with Nautical star's

That's dedication, :x:

[aa87]

A local guy has the rx7 enfini badge on the back of his neck. Ill try to get a pic of the tat, while not bad, i could never brand myself with a car.
