As you can see guys I just saw a picture of a guy who admires the M156 engine. So before the engine is gone he decided to draw a tatto above his heart on the chest.. It is just insane to see how people would really adore their cars that much! Is he here in the forum?

OK, if this guy goes to a Halloween party, then he needs to put a skin colored cloth over this tattoo. Then tell people at the party that his heart is really a Mercedes AMG V8 engine and proceed to rip off the skin colored cloth.

Kind of a cool thought...But what happens in 30 years when combustion engines look totally different than they do present day. I can see all the kids asking what it is even haha

Might be headed for a heart attack if that implant is before the headbolt redesign.

I'll be here all week, try the veal folks.

That's crazy.

What would have been better, is if on the engine plaque it has his name. Or the name of the tattoo artist (probably better the guys name)

I like it. Its a bit too far for me personally though, but its cool.
M156 is/was a great motor though. Post headbolt issue ofcourse.

I don't see the plaque with the engine builder's name on it. Not passionate enough obviously.

It looks sick for what it is but no matter how much I love cars I don't think I could get a tattoo of that. But good for the guy for doing something he likes. Tattoo for me would have to be way more profound than that and mean a lot more than simply the fact that I really like cars.

I would get my initials tattooed on me, but im luck enough, that my initials are AMG.

So it would work for me to get ///AMG.

Well his passion rains through if nothing else.
Most people when asked what their tattoo stands for, do not have an answer.
Not saying I would get it, but I have seen a lot worse, especially since his artist captured the whole 3dimentional aspect of the picture and placed it on his skin. Really an art when you think about it.

That's because he knows it's not good to have plaque on your heart.

Autosport7

You just gave your profession away!

Missed it by that much... (unless this engine in fact powers his shoulder)

Kriston

Lol that's great!


The M156 is a legendary engine though.

Actually, depending on what the guy does, (say weight lifter, crossfit competitor, etc), the tat might be appropriate.

The following is a tattoo one of my friends got in her calf (just the one for now). She is a runner (an insane one at that, ran two Marathons in a weekend once, or a full and a half in the same weekend, I forget).. point being.. insane runner chick




Being the Cyclist I am... I might consider to mini M156's tattooed onto my calves... As long as they stay V8's.. and don't turn into blobby V1 by the time I am 60

Dome///AMG

Looks pretty cool but I wouldn't do it

Well.. each person has his own taste I guess..
