Could This Tattoo Idea Cause Me Legal Issues?

Card image cap

Location: Original incident took place in Nevada, USA. I live elsewhere now.

For context, when I was a baby I was involved in an accident at the fault of a company which left me with large scars across my body. My parents sued the company and were awarded a large sum of money on my behalf, which is now being used to pay for my tuition and (depending on the economy) a down payment on a house in a few years. As I understand it, they agreed to settle the issue and stay quiet about it. I only have a surface level understanding of the agreement they signed, but growing up my parents always told me never to mention the companies name or be too specific when telling people about the scars.

Now, many years after the fact, I think it would be super cool to get the company's logo tattooed on my body somewhere. Something about having the logo contrasted against the scars on my body is appealing to me asthetically.

So my question is: Could this potentially cause me legal problems in the future? Neither my parents nor I have a robust understanding of the law and they don't remember much about the specifics of the agreement. I can provide any more information I know if needed. Thanks.

Edit: Sorry if this is vague, I obviously don't remember anything from when it happened and my parents have never been specific on the details. I flaired it as Personal Injury as it seemed the most accurate.
