This dude has the ultimate brand loyalty. D3x tattooed on his forearm with what looks like a 24-70.

I wonder if Nikon pays him to walk around with a permanent ad on his arm.
He should at least request to have the price of the tat covered by them. :)

Far be it for me to criticize someone for doing what they choose to their own body....what i found interesting was that the actual photos of this alleged Nikon enthusiast are so poor. With a DSLR you think he'd have had the photographer use selective focus to blur the background. Heck - the tat ain't even in focus!!
I guess the tatoo artist used a crappy P&S for the shot.

Saw that on Gizmodo (or Engadget, one or the other), the idea is cool, IMO. But the tattoo artist completely !$#@ed it up. Maybe it's still in phase 1, the outlining..

I had a complete different vision of the tattoo in mind when I read the post on Giz/Engadget.. It'd look pretty badass if the whole tattoo is in black, a bit of white/gray for the shadow and light contours of the body, some gold letterings for the lens and a greenish LED display on top. :)

No tatts here. looks painful.

If I ever lose a bet with a TPMG'er and have to get one on me then I'd definitely pick a small P&S - less painful!!
