Tattoo Advertising

Posted by Phoebe Chin on 04/29/08 in General, Internet Companies

Tattoo advertising has been around for quite some time. It sure catches attention and create marketing buzz but whether it works or not is another story. Some regard this act as ‘immoral’ and ‘betrayal of your own body’. But to the ‘walking billboards’, it sure makes them some money and err… it’s kind of cool?

They who sell their body parts to tattoo a brand, pocket in hundreds to thousands of dollars depending on the size of the advertisement and the part of their body which they have the tattoo on; making forehead the biggest asset a ‘walking billboard’ could have. Also mind that if you’re a ‘virgin’ to tattooing, you get more.

You’ll be surprise how many small and big companies out there are embracing this form of advertisement. Well, no denies that there are out there some brand fanatics who put the logo on without getting a single cent. Check it out.

    I can’t believe that! Is that a permanent tattoo on her forehead? That means it is never going to go away! I could never do that, was it for over a million dollars or something?

    It is permanent and she pocketed in $10,000 for that. Story was she needs those money for his son.

    tattoos are stupid to begin with…why not get paid,,what makes some supposed chinese symbol for love and more symbolic that a windows logo?

    It could be symbolic for some people who gives meaning to the tattoo. Watch Miami Ink, every tattoo has its significant meaning & story.

    so if the window vista to him has a meaning so be it! paid or not paid, tattoo is only worth doing it if it means something to someone

    Permanent tattoo can still be removed via laser tattoo removal, though it may leave some scars.
