I'm all for tattoos. I love em' (good ones anyway). I have one, and want many more. So it should be no surprise to hear that I was pleased to see a woman with some attractive sleeves greeting me (albeit with shy body language) when I logged in to check my Yahoo mail today. But upon ogling I noticed that she had incorporated a mix of social networking/communication icons & logos into her tattoos. As part of Yahoo's new mail personalizing campaign they have chosen to feature images of regular people. You know; hip, good looking, in shape, stylish regular people like you and me! I think they really out did themselves with this woman. Please, somebody tell me those will wash off!Jun 30, 2010

Ha ha! I thought this one was funny too! It is a majorly bad photoshop job.
I like it. It reminds me of a guy called "The Human Billboard" who has companies pay him to put a tattoo of their company on him.

I'm glad to see they place normal-looking people instead of some generic skinny model.
Yarleen: That's funny; my point was kind of the opposite of yours! I think Yahoo DOES use "pretty people" for their add campaign. I suppose it'd be less interesting if they used regular looking folk instead.

Yowza... I don't think I could take any amount of money to have an advertisement permanently put on my body.

Photoshop can do some amazing things. Let's hope they did so with these tatoos! :D
My wife has 19 tattoos but none of them are corporate logos. The cobra on her left boob should be one though.
Crazy photo ... I'm betting it was a body-make-up job where they "painted" over her sleeves to incorporate the logos.
I'm with Yarleen. She isn't model skinny, which is a plus even if she does have facebook yahoo and flikr etched into her arms
That's just a tad bizarre. Honestly. Even if it is body makeup or Photoshop, the advertising has gone just a little too far.
People get strange tattoos. I have an appointment coming up to get my next tattoo which is basically a subway car coming head on (The old New York Interboro Rapid Transit logo). I'm sure lots of people would consider that strange, but I love trains and work at Kawasaki Rail Car so...
Wooooww.. I like some tattos. Classy ones, but sleeves of social networks:P A bit much don't ya think? hahaa
