Look, when Pigeon-Holed was published back in 98 and we suggested that the New-Age creative favorite medium was "one that has never been used such as tattooing", we weren't saying that you should do that. MM'Kay?

But it was bound to happen wasn't it? After that wacky guy said sponsor my melon, headvertising, pregvertising, and even assvertising arrived on the scene.

Now there is tatAD, a "media company" where you can list your name, limbs available for tattooing and price. It brags to be "The only place in the world to get a tattoo & get paid for it!" At the launch party, someone even tattoed tatADs logo and URL onto their upper arm. Real ink, not that temporary kind seen on boxers in the ring, or the joke in that old outpost.com commercial.

W+K? I guess that's one way to get the bosses to notice you.
