Its a 1994 Jeep with 150,000 miles on it...
Got lots of geek stickers that I printed it off...And I can always take them off but....Just want a second opinion before I tattoo my car.

Hell no. The "message" they are communicating ages, they are inconsistent in how they are made (meaning some are a ***** to get off, while others peel off after a week int he sun), and if placed on the paintwork, cause the paint to fade irregularly.
But, hey, its your car. Do with it what you want. Just remember, a lone bumper sticker today sets you up for a slippery slope. 15 years time it will be "My Child is a champion at the Rocky Balboa Elementary School".

I used to have a Bliss Sticker (the Montreal Band with a member that ended up in God Speed, not the American electro band) on 77 Volare... it was ok, but it was ok.

i think stickers on cars can be pulled off if used properly... but i would stick with vinyl stickers... not bumper stickers...

My mom is one of those people who must plaster the entire back of her car with all manner of stickers.
I'm completely against bumper stickers of any kind. An exception can be made for a ferring if you have a roof rack for skis, boats or bikes. You should put any manner of sticker on a ferring.

just stick to the windows and don't put anything on there that would make cops want to pull you over.

Klitzy go with one or two vinyl stickers. Also if you have residue you can use WD-40 to soak it and then remove it. Don't overload your vehicle with stickers unless that's the look you want.

If it weren't for bumper stickers telling us how else would people know to "honk if you're horny"?

Worse, Dukakis in '88. Which I still see every now and then.

I hate bumper stickers. I don't even like the idea of vinyl ones, but I kinda have to compromise on those! ;)
Bumper stickers are money sucking whores. Plus if you ever try to sell your car when you get your pimp mobile eventually the next owner may not want your "Talk Nerdy to Me" bumper sticker on their new car.
Just think about it Klitzy. Think.

Rather than tell you what to do, I will once again tell you what I have done, and let you learn by my example :D
I don't dig on the bumper sticker concept. But I do fancy a good static clingy window thingy. I feel they are less ostentatious than bumper stickers, as they are usually much smaller. Plus, they are easily removable.
On my rear windshield, I have a small Chicago Public Radio member decal on the lower passenger side, juxtaposed on the driver's side by a John Kerry decal.
On my rear, drivers side back seat window, I have a small WXRT (radio station) decal, as well. XRT is a lifestyle here in Chicago.
The key here is small. All of these stickers are rather small. Kinda like a city sticker, or parking permit sticker.

I don't have any on my car, but I drive a pretty nice car and it wouldn't look right. I've got a foot locker in my room and I put my bumper stickers there.

And now it's time to reach into the hat and give the infinite wisdom I have to offer.
NO!
That is all. Now, while you soak up the wisdom, I encourage you to go and tell everyone about the obscure indy music you love while voting for someone who will not win all the while yelling out your political views on vegetarianism. I know for a fact that everyone LOVES to be told what to listen to, think, and eat.

Echo! If you want cool stickers for Jinx of whatever, stick them on your laptop or a folder instead.
