Switching gear
if you’ve ever driven stick before, you know how easy and smooth the transition between gears should be, and that’s because they are arranged in a certain order that makes sense to move from third to fourth gear, from fourth to fifth, etc. While upon first glance this seems like a pretty cool and unique tattoo of gears, it doesn’t make any sense.
Thankfully, this is not how a gear stick really looks like, so while it makes for a nice image, it doesn’t have much to do with reality. Just like proofreading is necessary when getting a tattoo of text, if you get a tattoo of gears, you better know what they look like, especially given that this person probably has a fondness for cars.
