Would I be the first with a REOS tat?

I'm commissioning a friend, a VERY well known tattoo artist that I happened to have gone to high school with and we reconnected recently. He's the most popular tat artist of New England sports teams. I'm designing a filmstrip around my left leg (think scrolling 8MM film with a different picture/milestone in each frame). I was in the Navy, so there'll be a reference. I'm an IT guy, so I'm putting in the familiar power button icon. I'll have either portraits of my kids or just dates of birth. Of course some Sci-Fi (Star Wars) in there as well. Stopping smoking is one of my proudest achievements and inking something with vaping is of interest. I may be forced to buy another REO as my prototype for the tat. I saw a very cool blue model in a recent post.

Can any of you suggest how you would portray the mod for long term visibility in a tat? I've considered a self-photo of me sucking my VV closeup (partial face) with dragon vape coming out of me' nose.

No, I'm not kidding, and thanks in advance. Of course photos of the pre-needle artwork and the finished tat will show up here first :)

I'd just get the Reo on an angle with vapor coming from the drip tip. Maybe have "Squonker 4 Life" scrolled in Ole' E. :)
You going color or black & grey?

Color fo'sho' - I while watching REO videos, I also considered a "no smoking" symbol, the cig w/ the red circle and line through it with a REO tag. I would never ask for anything for free from Rob except his input on this. Probably makes him blush that fans are tatting his work.
