Last year there was a man who made technology and tattoo headlines when he opted to get two separate tattoos of the Microsoft Zune mp3 player to show his support for the product. Microsoft was pleased with his efforts but most people thought that it wouldn't be long before he'd go in search of laser tattoo removal.
There are a few different reasons that it seems tattoo removal would be desirable in this instance. First of all, most people who get tattoos of products placed on their bodies usually suffer some sort of tattoo regret when the product's populatity fades away. Secondly, Zune isn't doing so well in the market in comparison to, say, the iPod and therefore is a product that people are surprised to see this much support for.
However, it appears that the Zune guy has no regrets. Not only has he made zero indications that he would be interested in tattoo removal to repair his act but he is apparently in the process of trying to legally change his name to show further support for the Zune product. At least he's getting the attention he wants!
Question of the Day: What's your vote - is Zune guy going to want tattoo removal one day?
