When Tracey and I ran a marathon last year, we decided to get matching tattoos to commemorate the event. Off and on over the past year, I've sat down to try and work up a design that I'd be comfortable having on my body when I die, and I just can't seem to get it quite right. It's time to give up and turn the job over to someone more qualified. Are you that person? If so, we'll give you $50. Hey, I know it's not much for the type of design work you're capable of, but come on: you get the satisfaction of knowing it's stuck on our arms (or ankles, or backs, or whatever) forever and ever!
Here are some criteria.
Size: Fairly small. It should be able to fit on, say, a large red delicious apple.
Color: Black is okay, but some color is nice too. Nothing too crazy that makes it really expensive or requires several sessions.
Content: Up to you. I've been working with pure text, just the mileage (26.2) and the date (9-16-2007); I'd also be okay with a graphic if it's well-designed. See the running blog I linked above for inspiration.
Rules: We reserve the right to reject any and all submitted designs. There is no guaranteed winner.

The reason you're having a hard time designing something right is because of the radical incongruity between high end sports cars and bumper stickers. God did not give you a VW bus for a body -- he gave you a Ferrari. You don't put bumper stickers on a Ferrari. No matter how cool a design you come up with, it will look cheap on such a beautiful car.

That's why he's going to put it on a large apple ;)

Need more guidance.
Do you wish to have it visible? If so, how often?
I can't speak for Tracey, but I want it to be in a spot that is often visible but possible to conceal: something like the upper arm or lower leg.
