Ferrari tattoo

Oh good lord. Here comes NNO....

 

Daniel,

Do you have a line on temp. tatoos? That might be a good idea before you make it permanent....

 

ME?!?! I don't have any tatoos, don't want any tatoos, and don't like tatoos of any kind on anybody.

But heck, everybody's different.

 

LOL

I figured your biz might sell them...........

A nice little market for girls with Cavs placed in the right spot, no?

 

here's my $0.02

First off let me say I have no tattoo's, nor would I ever get one. Ok perhaps the little person from fantasy island as a pet (it's a joke, please don't flame me...)

If you are going to do this, and I would recommend against it,.., I think you should do something subtle. perhaps just the Cavallino. No text.

Anything more than that, and you are going to be answering.... No I don't have a ferrari, but I like them.

I wouldn't even buy a ferrari shirt or hat until I owned the car because I didn't want to have to face the question. After I got my car, I bought a logo'd F-shirt. The first time I ever wore it, I got asked If I had a ferrari or just liked them....

Just be prepared.

 

On that note-- You have to remember that Ferrari is a sports team before a car manufacturer. I wear the cavallino proudly in support of my favorite team, Scuderia Ferrari!!

Although I have yet to own a Ferrari, my clothing has provoked many conversations with other enthusiasts, and even scored me a ride in a 348, and a seat in a 360!

While a tattoo may seem extreme, at least the guy's going for something subtle and coverable. I'm personally going for the scuderia shield on the arm or shoulder. Obsession? Yes.


Edit-- Your F40 is a beaut!! In your profile, it's your only Ferrari?

 

....and the Police catalog them, with every arrest.........

 

I totally agree with everything you said. But my guess is you wear you car clothes to car events. a tatoo is with you all the time.

Also, just because it would make me uncomfortable, doesn't mean others aren't fine with it. just 1 point of view in a very big world. Just wanted to give my point of view, because It's easier to remove a shirt than a tatoo!

The F40 is my only ferrari for now.... I am of the aquire and hold mind set. Can't imagine ever parting with it.

We just had a baby, so I am hoping to get a 456M GT later this year. next year at the latest. the 6 speeds are rare so might take a while to find the right one...

 

I don't have a Ferrari tatoo but I do have the Carl Fogarty "Foggy" eyes on my back for those of you that know Ducati racing history from the 90's.

My advice for tatoos, get something that will always mean something to you and be able to cover it with a T-shirt and shorts on. You never know who will see it otherwise and in certain situations it could be awkward.

 

I wanted the Cavallino Rampante as a tattoo, what I did was go to CompUSA and purchased temporary Tattoo paper and printed several sizes out on my printer. They work great, they are easily seen as a temporary tattoo so you wil not fool anyone but I was able to find out the 2" size was way too big and experimented with sizes and locations until I no longer had the guts/nerve to get a permanent one. If I ever do, I know now it a small about 7/8" tall Cavallino on my left shoulder way up so its not visible with t-shirts. And no Ferrari text which was surprising to me. I tried them on my chest and did not like it, I strongly suggest doing the same thing, a packet of 5 sheets at CompUSA was $6 often on sale for less and just print your own as a test.

 

there's a Ferrari badge tattoed in my left arm
I got it 16 years ago

 

Suprised carbon hasn't checked in yet.

 

I like the cavallino idea, but not the word. Subtle is better.

 

Busy in FL

 

I've got the "Cavallino Rampante" on my left shoulder. It did take me quite some time to go through with it as I didn't know where to get one done properly. A friend of mine had the complete Ferrari logo done on his arm and that I found a bit over it, so I decided to have it on my left shoulder in black tribal ink. Nobody knows its there. Never regretted it since.

 

Post picts of your Tats

 

Did this quite a while ago when I was 15, I have never regretted it, I still love it, it makes me feel good when I look at it, I have received many compliments from it. Never been approached by anyone concerning ownership.. but then again a 19 year old driving a BMW is already something you don't see all that much in Portugal so...

I love my tatoo, it also has another incredibly special meaning to me... in connection with Ferrari.

Wonder how long it'll be before you have to pay Ferrari a royalty every time you take your shirt off

 

I bet if you owned a Ferrari your desire to have a Ferrari tatoo would fade away........ Be patient and your car will come... Tatoo business ideas to your chest so you can figure out how to get the Ferrari... Just my opinion.... Enjoy...

 

Ah, tattoos: the way to show your individuality in exactly the same way that everybody else does....
