Live Your Brand. Monster Tattoo

[DunkinMcNut]

So. Yesterday Facebook (well... only his page) blew up when Rob Dyrdek posted pictures of him apparently getting a Monster Tattoo.

Now a video is available.

At first I thought he was a total asshole for getting something like that. He was talkign about "brand loyalty" or some shit. Might ass well get "Hansen Corporation Owns Me" Tattooed on his face. I still think it's stupid though.
I had my doubts as to whether or not it was real and after seeing the video I decided there is no way it's real. Granted... I know NOTHING about tattooing. I just feel like after a 9 hr tattoo session the skin would be ****ed and that thing wouldn't look as... fake? as it did.

I dunno. Thoughts?

I think anyone that gets a brand logo tattooed on them is an asshole. If you didn't make that mark or don't own its just gay and unoriginal.

His back, his sponsor, and his choice so I'm not going to fault him for that logic.



I will say this, that had to hurt like a sombitch if he sat through the whole thing while getting it in one shot!

No question there. But anyone that thinks a company needs/cares about your loyalty is nuts.

If it is real he's going to have fun explaining to his grandkids wtf Monster was in his day and why he made his back a shrine to it.

And that's his choice, would that be any different than a person that has worked at one brand of car dealership, as well as owning, modding, ect the same brand getting that brand's logo tattooed on him?

I guess if that's truly your lifestyle and something you truly believe in then nobody can fault you for it because nobody IS you.


Although all i can think of now is that "dope" audi tattoo that some guy got reamed for getting a while back.

I guess I just see it as a misguided passion.

When and where did that happen

Probably being judgmental about a sensitive subject but whatever.

I guess Rob is known for going big so it shouldn't be all that surprising.

I see where you are coming from... but your post that I quoted had me laughing so I had to tell you.

[DunkinMcNut]

I see stuff like that and immediately think





But hey, It is that persons right to put what they want where they want it I guess. What are the copyright problems when doing stuff like this though? (not the golden palace thing) I mean, I can't go ask a screen printer to make me a RedBull T Shirt but I can get their logo across my chest? I wonder...

I don't think I meant this to be a "right or wrong" post. Although the injection of my opinion has made it that way. Whatever, that's what a forum is for

I was more curious if it seemed legit to other people or not.

Robs a professional and now days a "house hold name" and all this does is make his sponsors love him all the more. Now if it was some one who works at lets say a pizza place and had that peice done, I wouldnt support it much but then again, its their body, their choice.

I predict MANY of these because of Rob. Even if his isn't real.

troof.

... some things we will never understand.

There are somethings that I will never understand such as




guys that wear girl pants

juggalos

women with beards

[Reflection]

I don't see the big deal.

[DunkinMcNut]

I guess since I have no idea wtf it is and it isn't running the length of your back neither do I?

[aorquiz]

To each his own, but I am sure he is getting paid to do this. He just became a walking billboard. I remember a couple of years ago some boxers whee tattooing casino name on themselves for fights.

I think the dedication he shows to his sponsors is awesome. As a business owner myself, I would be blown away if somebody got my logo tattooed on their back like that.
Gotta admit though, even if monster was never created, its still a cool design.
