Our 'Invisible Monsters' Shirt Gets Its First Tattoo!

An amazing design for an amazing book, who wouldn't want it on them forever. The fact i study advertising and now am an advertisement, god the irony I love it. Thanks for the approval chuckpalahniuk.net

Ouh I like your thinking nathaniel, let the enterprise begin. Maybe i could just sell off the rest of my body to kevin tong become walking palahniuk merchandise, that thought excites me a little more than it should. Tattoo prostitution look out

Very hot tattoo.

That goldenpalace.com did it for a while there, with just painting their logo on people. But I'm surprised people selling their tattoos for advertising never really caught on.

i'm suprised it hasn't caught on yet either. i mean what better promotion for a company than to have someone be a walking billboard for the rest of their life.

surely someone would be down for it.

imagine, if you put your body out there for it and say, coca-cola wanted to do it. you'd probably be set for life because they'd pay a hefty fee (i'm assuming somewhere in the millions) for it. and part of the contract is that you have to go sunbaking once a week or something. i'd probaly be down. it's just fucking skin. what else am i using it for?

Ten years from now you'll be saying, "This is my step-son, The Slap Chop, and my daughter, Cool Ranch Doritos."

wasn't that the whole thing in Jennifer Gov't? they had names like Jimmy Cola and Starbucks McGee and shit?

i'm slightly upset this discussion didn't go further. i was all keen to begin listing the pros and cons of being a walking billboard.

Well we already have walking billboards. What isn't an advertisement or has some sort of advertisement slapped on it? I'm pretty sure there were already a few contests where people have tattooed logos on their foreheads and other stupid shit just to promote something. There are ads or labels almost everywhere I go. Billboards for miles. So walking billboards aren't to far off but no one really walks here in Los Angeles, cars and road advertisements fill and adorn our freeways.

Yeah, but just think of all the time you saved by NOT having done that.

Anyway...the formula with Jennifer Government was that your last name was whatever company you worked for, and if you were unemployed, you were just a first name and that's it.

fair enough. the unemployed don't deserve name's like the rest of us. so, i'd be Matthew Baptist-community-services. wow.

I wish I could fix the first post so that it at least gave props to imjustinEscolon and not some dude named Justin.

poor Justine. her right thigh's fifteen minutes of fame has gone by uncredited. it's a travesty.

Thanks, Frank, I fixed the name, but I copied and pasted from your post, so let me know if that E should not be capitalized.

It shouldn't. In her username (she is also the first poster in this thread) they're all lower case.

haha thanks man, they have fixed it up for me thanks to you. Got my props

Thanks for fixing it up mirka, wasn't a huge deal just glad people are appreciating the magnificent design

also, I hope this image takes off as the one to get for an Invisible Monsters tattoo instead of that old/young lady illusion one. Geez, everyone has that one. I think I've got that one!!

you think you've got it?

Probably. who knows?

do you remember the general vicinity in which it was tattooed on you, Nate? let's talk you through this. now, grab a mirror and pop one leg up on a chair...

Cocaine is a hell of a drug.

damn it Nate! that's not what the mirror's for. shit.

i'm sure it's the new birthmark all the kids are being born with. the old lady/pretty lady illusion i mean.

I just noticed you can still click your blogs in the news sections! I forgot about my dale gribble blog, I need to save that shit!

that was a great blog and now you ruined or made the taco/blog thread that much better!

On Monday i am getting the full t-shirt design in color tattooed on my leg.

you're a liarrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!

Me? i was going to post the picture. the only part i am not getting is the writing.

see? you said FULL t-shirt design. liarrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!

i don't particularly like the design of the word invisible. I am also removing the lettering because i don't want anyone to get it without having extensive knowledge of the book or without asking me.

Wouldn't it make more sense to get a quote from the book if you only wanted someone with extensive knowledge to understand what the tattoo is about? Because even with extensive knowledge of the book, unless people have seen the image and know what its about, probably wont get it.

But hey, good luck with that tattoo, i hope to hell you have one glorious tattoo artist to get those colors in.

I'm also going to make demands and empty threat about you posting pictures of the finished work.

god, all you fucking palahniuk-tattoo nazis are like a broken fucken record. just because you have a quote wrapped around your neck, Noah, doesn't make it the best option for a palahniuk-inspired tattoo.

Never said it was.
I love the new image and think it makes a great tattoo but it was his reasoning.
I have seen some great Chuck Tattoos that are images.
I even have one of these tattoos.

Deep breathe, calm down. I didn't mean any offense, it was just a question with some comments.

Shit, i even like the illusion girl tattoos!

no you don't. you're always one of the first to jump in with the token "ugh. not another illusion girl" comment.

I'm not sure which your saying no to but;
Yes, i do love the new image!
I have seen many great tattoos that are not quotes
I have the fish skeleton from Diary on my ass.

and i do like the illusion girl, i think its a little over done but that doesn't mean i don't like it. In fact i even complimented the last few people on the work. The girl with the reaction to the ink, loved the way that looked even though it was unintentional.
Even considered getting the illusion upside down and rightside up on either end of my tattoo i just ran out of funds.
I just think that words have more meaning and power

So let me reiterate. I like the tattoo, i like the idea of it being in full color, a lot in fact.
Sorry for all the confusion.

I'll try to get the picture of the tattoo up around eight tonight once i take off the bandage and clean it.

nice. look forward to it, man. it'll be cool to see what it looks like in colour.

So that is the tattoo. I have three other pictures if anyone wants to see them. I think it came out really good.

I think I agree. I'd be down to see the rest of your photos.

yeah, that looks wild. i love the orange colour, how it's all faded like.

Jesus, thats one fine looking tattoo you have there. How long did that take?

It took a little over three hours to do.

these are the three other photos.

hahah. i don't know why, but i thought it was on your forearm in the first photo.

There is some amazing line work in that tattoo. the hair must have been a pain in the ass.
thats one good artist you have.

Yeah he is really good. I am going to be getting a lot more work done by him.

Why is everyone getting this done on their legs?
People! If you get it done on your chest then you don't have to buy the t shirt! Beat the Systsem!
