I recently read a blog from a fellow classmates, Berent Hagen, who discussed temporary tattoos that stay on for a couple of weeks and how companies are paying people to get these tattoos. I would like to take this idea a little further into how some people get real tattoos of a company.
Take, for instance, this guy. I do not know specifically why he got this tattoo but I do know people who have been offered thousands of dollars to have a companies logo tattooed on themselves.
I question the morality of this all. Has advertising gone to far and has it broken too many ethical boundaries. I understand that companies are always trying to gain the upper hand over their competition but I do not see that this is the best way to do that. In fact, I think that this might have a negative effect on a company. I know personally that I would dislike a company if I saw their logo tattooed on someones body, but who really knows. I mean, I’m just an average ordinary consumer like the rest of the world…..
