I can't think of any company or product I'd tattoo on myself:

For three years, Goodyear's Dunlop tire unit has offered a set of free tires to anyone who will get the company's flying-D logo tattooed somewhere on their body, and 98 people have taken up the offer.

Thats not a bad deal if you already have a ton of tattoos and you need tires!


Ive waned a Coca-Cola tattoo for awhile. Wonder if I could get anything free for that?

So how long before tattoos quit being trendy anyway?

Whatever, I've been getting tattooed for 20 years and will continue to until I die, regardless of what the rest of those assholes are up to. It is cool that the artists are starting to get recognition as such, though.

I'd get the Guinness logo tattooed on me.

upyerbum - 11-27-2007 at 01:40 PM

I've been thinking about the Oland's logo, but its a family crest and I'm not an Oland, so I've been kinda' humming and hahing about it.

I think its great that artists are starting to be recognized. I'm just tired of seeing shit like Miami Ink. I love tattoos, I'm proud of mine, and I'll be going back for more in less than a month. I'm just sick of tattoos being the fucking flavor of the week.

Like I said, I've been getting tattooed for 20 years, and I'll see some kid with full sleeves who got his first tat a year ago. To me that's totally not what its about, I mark times and events in my life through tattoos, the art may not even be relevant, but its relevant to me, cuz I know the where, when and why of each piece I've got. Its different for everybody, but to me, running out and getting sleeved... you're just cheating yourself of years and years of enjoyment. But to each his own, could be worse.

I have a Pac-Man tattoo. Those motherfuckers at namco should give me one of them big ass arcade games.

DaveMoral - 11-27-2007 at 06:04 PM

Never would I get a corporate logo tattooed on me. No thanks.

defstarsteve - 11-27-2007 at 06:08 PM

I have to admit it...
I have a compnay tattoo
I have the def-star logo on my right elbow...
which is also the imperial logo....
so I guess either I'm a corporate whore or a star wars nerd, which is worse?

upyerbum - 11-27-2007 at 06:15 PM

A corporate whore has never beaten up Clit 45.

a set of tires doesnt last that long now does it

Depends, do you consider def-star your corporation? Does it qualify legally?

No, you're a Star Wars nerd. Speaking of which, I need to get my legs nerded out. Rebel logo... Jedi logo. Some Basic script(in-universe language). Lightsabers.

clevohardcore - 11-28-2007 at 08:08 PM

Alot of people have tattoos now a days.

defstarsteve - 11-28-2007 at 08:23 PM

no we are not a corporation, but a privately owned buinsess
but it is a business logo
and I don't remember which came first
the tattoo or the logo for the company

hell might have been the same day
