    Driving my Prius by a local tatoo shop today and I began to wonder about people getting tatoos in general and Prius/hybrid tatoos in particular. Anyone gotten one?

    Okay, a tatoo may in fact be taking this whole environmental friendly car "thing" a bit far. :p

    Doc!!!I'm surprised!!!I know I'm overboard but I don't like anybody doing ANYTHING to my body, I guess it goes back to when I was burned, but that's a whole other story.

    No plans to do so...but if I found the right image I'm not above it...a small car, green leaves out of the tail-pipe....If I could work in a dragon and the word "Mom" it might be the most perfect tatoo ever!

    I'd get a bicycle wheel tattooed on my left cheek long before a car, even a Prius. But it's a cute idea.

    i do not know if i'd call that the ultimate commitment, but the idea is highly amusing. i'll get inked with a symbol that got me through a lot in life, one of these days, but a car?

    Agggh! Tatoo a gasoline car on your body? Evan, Evan, Evan.... why? By next year that will be so *yesterday.*

    Hey look kids! Back in '07 I was proudly burning the last of the cheap gasoline! :D

    I have about 15 hours of ink already, I'm planning a "power" symbol, kinda like what is on the power button of my Prius.

    Why would anyone have a questionable piece of 'art' permanently applied to their body that they wouldn't even hang in their bathroom?

    The power symbol body art sounds cool!! I can imagine a few places where it'd probably look great.
    :)

    ------------

    At this internet advertising company I used to work for, we'd pay employees $1,000 if they'd have our logo tattooed on either their arm or ankle. I don't know, it seems a bit crass now, but it was the late 90's...everything sounded like a good idea a the time.

    I know a spot a Chevy logo would go but you wouldn't see it without bending over in front of a mirror. Looks a bit like a skid.

    Where would you put a HSD logo?

    that would suck if u still had the tatoo and you got something better
    after the lease ended, or when you sold the car

    But it's a ground breaker and trail blazer. The tattoo would always show you were a leader.

    So, if you have a "power button" tattooed on, then everyone is going to keep trying to push your button!!
    And that could either be fun, or a pain in the nice person.... BTW, you wouldn't put a power button there, would you?

    :D
