So I love pin up girls and guns – and while that sounds a bit like a red neck, i’m not hahha.

I’m into the whole hot rod scene but with old school vintage porsches – and this was inspired by my car.

Drew the artwork in Adobe Illustrator and colored with Adobe Fireworks, then took the outline drawing to my buddy in Wilmington to have him lay the ink down on my forearm. Enjoy

I drive it on the street as my main vehicle because after 7 years in Iraq and Afghanistan and a divorce I figure why not? I’m sick of all the PC crap these days and wanted to introduce a bit of the badass back on the streets. The car is a 1979 935 K3 which was a Le Mans race car way back when…instead of only driving from time to time – I enjoy every day, everywhere I go. I did the entire interior in Olive Drab green and put the switches on the roof like an old school bomber.

Hence why she inspired my tattoo – old school & badass – glad you like it.
