Mechanical tattoos (often wrongly referred to as biomechanical) are pretty cool for gearheads. When you spend so much time working on and enjoying these machines that really becomes a part of you over time. Whether it’s being a biker, racing cars, or like this guy, you own your own garage, these objects can start to find themselves developing a personality in your mind.

Think it’s weird? How many of us don’t remember getting their first car and the sense of freedom to gave us? Didn’t it represent the beginning of adulthood and autonomy for so many of us? Bet you named it. Some old clunker sitting out in the driveway (or front yard), just waiting to take you on your next adventure. Well, some of us never got over that feeling. Judging by the amount of money spent on motorsports each year, it’s safe to say we’re in good company!

So if you’ve ever busted a few knuckles turning wrenches for your family, friends, or just your own needs, swing by Lighthouse Tattoo and celebrate your status as a gearhead with a little ink!
