Better Than my “Time to Make the Doughnuts” Tat
Ink Spotter: Linda T
When I saw this, I didn’t just see a Nike slogan, I saw a man encouraging his potential sex partner. And I didn’t even have to try. “Just do it”? Sure, that has easy double-entendre-bility. But then I started thinking about other slogans, and was surprised that, at my advanced age, I’ve never noticed the almost universal presence of sexual connotations in corporate slogans. I look forward to seeing all of these as tramp stamps, across shoulders, and probably, no, I can’t say it. Not there.
Reach out and touch someone (AT&T)
Please don’t squeeze the Charmin (Charmin)
Where do you want to go today? (Microsoft)
Where’s the beef? (Wendy’s)
Finger lickin’ good (Kentucky Fried Chicken)
The ultimate driving machine (BMW)
Once you pop, you can’t stop (Pringles)
Nothin’ says lovin’ like something from the oven (Pillsbury)
Stronger longer (Duracell Batteries)
Let your fingers do the walking (Yellow Pages)
Life’s short, let’s fuck (Okay, I made that one up)
We could go on . . .
JCPennys used to use “It’s all inside!” as a slogan. My friends still joke about that one…
I hope Nike is getting a lawsuit together as we speak. And that swoosh must’ve hurt like a @#$^%
I can’t even imagine how completely unfuckable that guy must look from the front. Hell he could look like Brad Pitt but if he turned around and I saw that shit on his back my vagina would dry up like the Sahara and shrivel up inside.
Yeah, wow, what a painful waste of money and skin.
Maybe he’s rented out his back for advertising?
This man’s death by ink poisoning sponsored by Nike
baffling. i am stunned and diminished by viewing this.
it takes a licking and keeps on ticking?
or my all time personal favorite:
if it doesn’t get all over the place then it doesn’t belong in your face. (carl’s jr.)
The guy with “STUPID” on his forehead could have done just as well with “Like a Rock!” (Chevrolet)
Come on guys, it’s the only way Michael Vick could get sponsorship again after his dog-fighting jail sentence. Give the man a break!
theres a sleezy porn store in town thats right next to a kfc, and their sign says “we’re finger lickin good too.”
Damn crazy soccer fans.
Sorry if I ruin the party, but this is obviuosly a boxer (or other martial artist) who has a fake tattoo. Look at his pants, it’s boxing shorts and this kind of fake tattoos with sponsors are a common thing in boxing. But I have to admit that I got tricked too at first.
@Malisyn
It does have that appeal to it for sure.
If he thought getting the tattoo hurt, just wait until Nike sues him to remove it.
Maybe it’s just the picture but the skin of the swoop looks uniformly bumpy, kind of like the outside of a basketball.
If it’s a temporary tattoo, maybe he can sponsor McDonalds new “Angus Third Pounders – open really wide”. Nothing sexual about that
There’s also “Good ’till the last drop” (Folgers coffee)
Proactive. Just get some.
George Carlin did a rip on this:
“Maybe she’d like a Tiparillo.”
“I’d walk a mile for a Camel.”
“But wouldn’t you rather have a Buick?”
LOL
God rest his soul!
I heard that at one point–I don’t know if it’s still current–that the most popular tattoo in the US was the Nike symbol. (It was eclipsed after 9/11 by American flags, natch.) Sad, yes, and this brings it to a whole new level of miserable.
i used to work with the guy that did this tattoo [begrudgingly]. apparently this guy was a soccer player trying to go pro. he wasn’t sponsored by nike though, so i guess this was his insane attempt to get their attention. the only reason my buddy agreed to even do this monstrosity was because when the guy came into the shop asking to have it done he already had the “swoosh” tattooed on his face as EYEBROWS!! true story!
What can brown do for you? (UPS)
Only one word is needed here.
“Douchebag”.
No doubt he’s Mexican. I’ve seen so many mini-vans and crappy trucks with giant Nike Swooshes on them and they are driven ONLY by Mexicans.
Makes you think.. how many brain cells do they have?
You can always find them in the Auto Parts store looking at shiny and sparkly things to tape and stick to their car.
