What kind of man gets two Zune tattoos?

Apparently the look on his face after the last Zune tattoo wasn't regret. It was anticipation.

[Thanks, segadc]

LOL!! I'm sure ur right... He's l33t!

[(Unverified) Posted Jun 19th 2007 10:13PM]

Not a loser, just a man who likes tattoos of creepy old men "handling" a rabbit (maybe a reference to Bell Labs' PLan9 ? ), or he is getting beau coup bucks from Micro$oft. I vote for the latter Viral marketing, that could work.

HaX80r, what the fuck is wrong with you? Of course hes not getting paid, and I'm tired of people saying this bullshit...

"Hahah he must b getin piad bough cup munies frum MicroMONEY!!!! i r da 1337asauris rawr!!!11one"

Its annoying as fuck. Leave MS alone.

MS can't look after itself??!!

I like this picture better.

He's got more of a teddy bear look this time around.

I dont know what type of anticipation you have at Engadget,but I definitely do not look regretful when I'm anticipating something.

This is a sign to all apple fanboys that no matter how hard you try,you will never be able to persuade hardcore zune fanboys to join your side.

i bet its sharpie in his buddies tat parlor. no one would actually do that. not even if microsoft gave him 2 zunes would it be worth it!

[Quikboy Posted Jun 19th 2007 7:15PM]

Wow, I truly don't know what everyone is so worked up about. It's just a weirdo with some Zune tattoos. But it's not half as scary as the Apple's iCult apple logo-shaved heads.

Now that's something scary!

Welcome to the social..
I was promise a social opportunities with cute scenesters chicks (like in their marketing) not a large bouncer looking guy.

[(Unverified) Posted Jun 19th 2007 7:17PM]

has 'creepy-old-man-handling-bunny' really become that iconographic?

i mean whether the zune is an eventual huge success or failure, it will inevitably disappear into the history books and be replaced with the next gen technology and this guy will have a 'creepy-old-man-handling-bunny' on his goddamned arm.

Has the thought that this guy's actually hired by microsoft for viral marketing purposes crossed your mind?

Hmmmmm

What kind of man gets two Zune tattoos? This guy. I'd say he's pretty famous, supporting Microsoft like this. The Zune is no iPod killer, but it does work exceptionally well. I can see backing it.

I personally prefer a triple-boot system.. Apple OS X (when Leopard arrives, I'll have that), Windows Vista Ultimate, and Fedora Linux. All three platforms have their pros and cons. When I feel like being creative, I swing over to OS X, when I feel like working, Windows, and when I feel like learning command line, Linux.

[(Unverified) Posted Jun 19th 2007 7:47PM]

He's no fan. This guy's just setting up for a 3rd tattoo design that will be sold to Golden Palace for $10,000.

LMFAO the site you link to got slashdotted -engadgetted.
But i really couldnt care less if he got zune tattoos.. the logo is cool i gotta admit :p ( I wouldnt do it tho :S)

[(Unverified) Posted Jun 19th 2007 8:17PM]

How much do you want to bet that those are temporary tattoos

[(Unverified) Posted Jun 19th 2007 8:20PM]

is it?

[(Unverified) Posted Jun 19th 2007 8:45PM]

Wow. Whatever happened to t-shirts? I mean, tattoos are just a bad idea. We have better means of self expression now. Maybe tattoo your SL avatar or something...

[(Unverified) Posted Jun 19th 2007 8:47PM]

I think that he is using henna tattoo coloring. Its non-permanent and looks much like the real thing. You apply it to you skin and it stains your skin for 5 days (assuming you have decent hygiene.

I say this ones a fake.

[(Unverified) Posted Jun 19th 2007 8:51PM]

It's ironic because he got Dell DJ inked on his rear.

[(Unverified) Posted Jun 19th 2007 8:54PM]

There's no telling what he's going to do next...

[(Unverified) Posted Jun 20th 2007 9:49AM]

I imagine it will be an HD DVD tattoo. He seems to really be into failing technologies.

[(Unverified) Posted Jun 19th 2007 9:00PM]

So as much as I hate it when people instantly scream "'shopped!" I actually think this may be a fake tattoo. When I got mine, and when I've seen other people get them, they're usually red and swollen. Granted, this could be a pic from a few days after the inking, but then why take the photo in the tattoo parlor? Just sayin'

[(Unverified) Posted Jun 19th 2007 10:08PM]

I actually got a new tattoo yesterday, and its not swollen at all. Simple lines (like mine and his) tend to heal quickly with minimal swelling.

[(Unverified) Posted Jun 20th 2007 7:29PM]

Disgusting. He's like a character straight out of the film 'Idiocracy'.

Hate zunes (don't hate, just dont love microsoft), love this guy.

He sure has guts after getting ragged on the internet to post another pic. Congrats man, you have more balls then all these ladies!!! But i would never get one...Maybe carve my body into the shaoe of an apple...but thats not as hardcore!

[(Unverified) Posted Jun 19th 2007 11:17PM]

And the look on my face isn't surprise, it's horror.

[(Unverified) Posted Jun 20th 2007 10:49AM]

What the hell? Seriously? What's the rabbit got to do with Zune?

[anonymouspimp Posted Jun 20th 2007 12:17PM]

The fact that you are sitting where you are, thinking about the Zune, and trying to figure that out = successful marketing.

You answered your question with your question. Weird, huh?

[(Unverified) Posted Jun 20th 2007 4:06PM]

Lol. That's a good point, but it wasn't really what I meant to ask. Is the rabbit thing part of some bizarre and random "I love bees" viral campaign, or was it some mascot used in official MS marketing campaign? Or was it some fan-created image that eventually became a Zune meme?

[(Unverified) Posted Jun 20th 2007 3:08AM]

I've seen people with Sonic the hedgehog tattoos. The tattoo above looks slightly ridged to me which makes me believe it is real. Maybe he is hoping MS will toss him a free Zune or three. In years to come, once the Zune is gone and forgotten, he can claim the tattoos represent anything he wants. I mean if I saw him before I had read this story I wouldn't of known what they were from.

[(Unverified) Posted Jun 20th 2007 5:08AM]

I just wanted to say, that there have been a lot of very good designers,
who worked for the Zune launch. And I˙ver really seen worse Tatoos.

BUT

I didn˙t know. He got a Zune Logo on the other arm. OMG!


I˙m still laughing about: Bobos˙ “Hair grows back.“

[(Unverified) Posted Jun 20th 2007 7:44AM]

Anyone that has ever gotten ink done knows that fresh tattoos are very red, swollen, and often times bleed from the repeated punctures of the tattoo needle. This guy is sitting in a tattoo parlor in both pics (by the equipment in the background) to suggest that he has just received these 'marvelous' works of art. However, both tattoos look fully healed, no signs of redness. I think these tattoos are fake, while the only thing that MIGHT be legit is that super sweet porn 'stache. Nice try guy, but next time you pimp yourself out to M$, at least make the effort to fool the millions that have real tats.

Yeah, that is a tattoo alright - a tattoo either applied by a felt tip maker or Photoshop.
If that was just done, his arm would be irritated, greasy & red - like this:
