When Skin Becomes an Advertising Opportunity

From Jenna Cantor:

When Skin Becomes an Advertising Opportunity

I thought this article was fascinating.  It relates to the concept of "free" that we talked about in class and read in Dan Ariely's book.  The article mentions how a girl from Michigan got a FREE permanent tattoo of the tanning salon "Electrik Beach," and since she got the tattoo, she now gets FREE tanning for a lifetime at this tanning salon.

The article also talked about brand loyalty, but I personally believe that this is an extreme case of brand loyalty!  What do you think?

The brand/company pays for the cost of the tattoo and the tattoo receiver gets something out of it that means something to them.
