    Geez, this must surely rate as linkbaiting at its most primitive, yet effective! out the box thinking indeed, anything to get exposure, but could he not get them tattoos in a less obvious spot? Maybe he can leverage some form of residual income out of sponsors who have their logos / urls tattooed onto his arms?

    was the tatto free, meaning you paid for it, or was the advertising free, meaning you didn’t?

    I have made my feelings about sundaybrew very clear on DP forums, he has scammed a bunch of people and he really seems a bit strange. He thought that this would be some great stunt but everyone just think’s hes a freak!

    Yeah, they are real. You can tell buy how puffy the skin is. I’m covered in tattoos, and this is not something I would have gotten. I also think it’s funny that everyone has a comment about it here online, because with all of my tattoos, I have never heard anyone come up to my face like they do here and say my tattoos are stupid, or what a dumbass for getting that. Probably because they get to hide behind the computer here and say it. Which is cool. Be your own person. It’s art, don’t knock it.

    Yes, and I wonder why Shoe is bringing it up. It is also embarrassing. Could he really be some kind of proud because people do something like that? I can’t mention it. My headline would have been anything like ‘Stop – do NOT imitate this’. BTW – what comes next…

    There’s definitely a spooky stalker type quality to this tattooing thing…Even when you have a tattoo removed, it’s never really gone, not to mention, the color ones fade and you have to get them recolored every 8 or so years, or they start looking like crap.

    Wow! A very intense move on Brew’s part. I still haven’t decided what camp to side on.
    Nevertheless, he’s certainly got some marketing from it. I guess if he earns a dollar more than it costs to remove the tats then it was worth it. (minus pain and suffering of course)

    This reminds me of a time when I owned a site called xplaygames and one of the regulars tried and tried to get me to send him a logo so he could get it tattooed on him. He was serious as a heart attack but I couldn’t let him do it.

    A permanent tattoo just for some linkbait?

    As a side-note though, the kid that wanted so badly to get that tattoo of my site – he works for me now and has for the past year, so perhaps there’s something to this…
