    I have an '85 FJ60 LandCruiser with tan paint and mostly blacked out chrome.

    I've often thought the Afrika Korps had a very cool logo with the palm tree but I don't care for nazis or swastisikas so in keeping with the Japanese blood of the truck I took the swastika out of the middle of the palm tree and inserted Japanese characters for "Noodle Soup." Haven't got it made up yet but it'll go on the doors. Unless I can find some equally cool all-Japanese logo that say something off the wall. Humor being the object of the exercise, of course, an intentional mis-translation if you will.

    I have a Welsh tattoo that says Hireath. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hiraeth) I made very certain of the meaning before the ink came out. I had him put the letters too close together though and you can't read it now. I'm thinking about covering up the word with thistle leaves then running a thistle blossom up either side of the dragon, then putting the 'Hireath' in an arch over the top.
