Car art - tattoo site - Toyota Yaris Forums

I was reading a story in this mornings Sunday paper about a woman who got into the business of car tattoos. I am not into decorating my car but perhaps some might be interested in checking out the site.

Thanks for this. I know some people think stuff like this looks tacky, but I really really want a little accent on my car. Having a hard time finding something ready made that I want (swirls), but I'll check this site out. And if anyone finds any other sites like this hope they share! If I end up deciding to get a custom one I also need to figure out what to get.. magnet, decal, or tattoo? I wonder what the difference between decal and tat is..

I read same article from journal news. where you live at?

maybe you can buy a car tattoo and make one yourself.....

ok that mean... Im pretty sure they are vinyls... or just plain old stickers.... idk how they would be anything else? they arnt literally tattoos.....uhh.

Yea I know hehe, but I was guessing since they're calling them something other then decals they might use a different material than a decal? Reading on the site though, it doesn't look like anything special.

BTW, they have a really easy section to design your own sticker, just upload a pic and give them a size.

I might do that, but I am worried about the quality. I don't know/think its vinyl and I was reading thats the best and most durable thing to stick on your car? I just want a solid color design, not a picture so I don't know if using this site is best for me because I'm guessing they just print the design on a white decal. Guessing it would be better if I just got someone to cut a design on colored vinyl for me.

errr yeah.... idk about the self-pic thing... who knows maybe they'll take the time to edit it the way to where they can use it.... do they have pics on the site of "self-designed" decals.

oh and calling them "tattoos" is just a marketing thing, silly :p but it does the job.
