I have a gift cert from fuller any I've always wanted to get something but struggle with what it would be.
I have been doing some research lately geneology(ancestoral history) and see that most surnames names are linked to a "coat of arms" that might date back to times when everything was swords and shields and castles etc...
I thought that might be something that "had some meaning" that wouldn't be regretted when I was 60.
but then I thought well why would I want a tattoo of something that I have no immediate connection with and can't really relate too and then thought why can't a group like ours (the mra) have some nifty insignia or coat of arms type logo, I mean, we are like a clan, definately a family of some sort, and when we work together we can be an army.
I see the mra as a type of modern day "brotherhoood" (or sisterhood with the LOR, donna :) ) Maybe not so much as a secret society like skull & bones, but we are definately in our own right some type of fraternity.
Maybe someone out there, Chris Fuller, or some other artisitcally gifted person could come up with a sweet ass piece of artwork like a coat of arms that's themed around the MRA and roadracing motorcycles, that we could use for a tattoo. I don't know maybe a shield with a tire on it and a quadrant you could put your race # in and some pistons and rods forming an x underneath it. Now that's something I'd have no problem knowing that someone else has the same tattoo as me, and it'd have meaning and I definately wouldn't regret having it when I was going in for a job interview, whenever that day comes.... :roll:
