Social Tattoos

My Social Tattoo is the YouTube viral darling of the week with over 1.5 million hits, where a woman immortalises her 152 Facebook friends as a tattoo sleeve. The general consensus is that it is poor madness. PKMAN009 got 97 Likes when he declared the video “the most retarded thing ever” on the comment section on YouTube.

UPDATE: It’s a hoax! Mashable reported that the video was most likely a viral campaign for Pretty Social, a company that sells objects embossed with images of your Facebook friends. The full details of the video will most likely come out in the next few days.

Another strange Facebook tattoo project...

A production company in Estonia invite people to “Join the Craziness.”  “The Craziness” is a documentary where a man undertook to tattoo one letter of Facebook on his wrist for every milestone they reach on the Facebook page. On one thousand likes he had the “F” inked. The next milestone is 10 000 Likes. The final “E” will be etched on his skin when the page 1,000 000 hits. The page was opened in December 2010 and currently sits at 3,131 Likes.
