Maybe you should stick with the "300d" nameplate on the trunk

just an idea

Maybe the word "diesel" inside a heart..........appropriately placed, of course. Pics will be requested.



EDIT on 04/17: OP did say she wanted to pay homage to her OM617 NA, so maybe "OM617 NA" with an engine pic inside a heart near her heart would be a better choice. Key question: Do you have a tattooable canvas there? Instead of placing the design within a heart, if you placed it near your heart, then the reference would be there.

Sort of like the meaning of getting a pair of lips tattooed on the behind.

Were you suggesting she could get "300D" tattooed on her "trunk"?

Obviously, this one belongs on the forearm, so you can refer to it readily while installing the head.
