E3 Spark Plugs News

Got an automotive-inspired tattoo? E3 Spark Plugs wants to hear from you.

It’s been said that a tattoo is a window to one’s soul. It’s also been said that a tattoo is a permanent symbol of temporary insanity. Who knew your love for that cute brunette you met during that weekend bender in Vegas last year wouldn’t outlast her name inked across your chest after all? Or that the hair band you got tattooed up and down your forearm back in 1987 wouldn’t get another record deal? In the moment that the tattoo gun fires up, it all makes timeless sense.

Whether your ink proves an enduring testament or a regrettable moment, they’re all interesting sights, particularly those with great stories behind them. A quick Internet search turned up dozens of images of spark plug tattoos sported by men and women who are car, truck and motorcycle enthusiasts – or who loved one. They range from the simple to the elaborate, sweet to sexy. But alas, no E3 spark plug tattoos. Want to be the first? If you have or plan to get a great spark plug tattoo – especially an E3 spark plug tattoo, we want to hear from you! Leave a comment on our blog sharing your story and your image. In the meantime, check out a few of E3’s favorite spark plug tattoos.

If you’re just not ready to commit to permanent ink, but still want a fast, strong, clean ride be sure to check our website for E3 car spark plugs, E3 truck spark plugs and E3 motorcycle spark plugs. We promise you’ll have no regrets.

Team Diva hat worn by reality show star and former Poison lead singer Bret Michaels.

E3 Spark Plugs sends congratulations to Poison rocker-turned-reality TV star Bret Michaels for nailing this season’s Celebrity Apprentice win despite a much-publicized bout of medical woes. Oh — and we dig that hat, Bret. You all know the one. Several times throughout the season, Bret rocked a spark plug- and feather-adorned cowboy hat by designer extraordinaire Amy Skaling, founder of Team Diva. Known as “Diva Amy” to her growing fan base (which also includes celebutantes Miley Cyrus and Paris Hilton), Skaling creates cowboy hats, caps, tank tops and bandanas embellished with an array of accessories including Swarovski crystals, nail heads, feathers and tiny ceramic skulls. Hers is a brawn-meets-bling style that’s getting lots of attention. Hey Amy – might we suggest using a shiny new E3 spark plug in your future designs?

Raygun / Sonic Disruptor Pistol by Scupltor "Skunk."

Team Diva’s designs got us wondering about other artistic uses of spark plugs and a Google search turned up an amazing sculptor who goes by the name “Skunk.” Also an avid biker, Skunk creates robots, ray guns and bicycle contraptions that bring to mind scenes from the sci-fi Western “Wild, Wild West.” His creations are made using bicycle chains, old gears, vending machine parts, discarded musical instruments and, of course, spark plugs. See if you can spot the spark plug in this image of a ray gun available via Skunk’s website.

Oh, and then there’s this little guy, posted by blogger “Cameron” on the apparently defunct Greensmithy Blog. Not quite the glam of a Team Diva hat or the detail of a Skunk sculpture, but he’s got the warm and whimsical charm that only a spark plug bug can exude.
