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.

Nintendo

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 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.

please DON’T watch miami ink. those guys are assholes and don’t represent the majority of people who get tattoos. I have more tattoos than I can count and they all mean something very special to me. I’m not doing it to be cool or fit in with any sort of crowd. It’s a personal choice that anyone can make and shouldn’t be judged for.

I just got a Dunkin Donuts tattoo, not for money but for the fact that I literally run on DD. It’d be nice if i got paid for it or even reimbursed for the cost but it’s symbolic to me and it’s not gonna stop there. I love tattoos for the insight within them. Some people act spontaneous and get a random tattoo (like a dead clown), others get a cross to symbolize GOD or someone they have lost. If it symbolizes you in any way, why not get an apple tattoo.?.?.? you love it, show the world!!!
