I know this is going to sound stupid, call me that if you want. Is that on your leg or arm? Just remember, I'm from UA.

P.S. I can see a shirt in the pict. It's your arm, never mind.

I thought of doing that with several other vehicles I owned, and to some degree, I'm mostly glad I didn't, because like girlfriends, I've changed what I like and drive. So I'm greatful to not have a past flame attached to my bod. I was content with the temperary MINI tatts that I recieved. But hey, to each their own. Hope you have a MINI in your possession as long as that tattoo lasts or as long as that limb is attached to your body.
Looks good btw. Way to show your support.
Cheers,

Definitely an upper arm (left)

Nice, I like the shadowing under and to the right.

Do you have other tattoos?

Oh, you can tell it's real! The raised skin, and the red around the tattoo. I have two tattoos myself. hmmm...perhaps it's time for a third?

Hey, you should contact MINI - perhaps they could use you in some sort of campaign...

I mean, people get frat and sorority letters tattood and branded, why not MINI logos?

Yes, it's my arm. My left arm, so it can be seen while driving.

My first idea was to put a little logo of every (good) car I owned in the past. That way I would have an arm band effect. I whittled it down until I came up with this. My arm isn't big enough to have 6 different logos. I guess I need to hit the gym.

P.S. In the pic the guy just finished. That's why it's red. When it heals, I'll take another and post it. It is supposed to lighten up some.

Better yet, has MINI contacted you about the illegal use of their logo? That would be the reaction I'd expect from MINI.

I'm with BMW of North America. You are violating our Trademarked name of MINI. This letter is to inform you to immediately cease and desist any such infringment of our copyright. You have seventy-two hours to remove your tatoo or we will proceed with legal action. If legal action is pursued, we guarantee it will cost you an arm (and a leg).

Well, MINI can't say it's not for personal use

I'm expecting to receive an email from MINI USA regarding the unauthorized use of the name "MINI USA" on this website.

I could only hope they would pay me. But since I obtained this logo under illegal methods I will probably only get a slap in the arm (pun intended) I guess if MINI USA wanted to get technical (which they do) The logo has a drop shadow and the background isn't black. So it isn't a complete infringment.

I should have known better by the way you used the words..."my new mod!" Rather than say... "my MINI's new Mod!"
