When Social Media Gets Under Your Skin

If you’re fond of tatts, are looking to express your devotion to select social media channels – and you live in France – good news! You can now get a free inking of your favourite social platform logo thanks to a slightly bizarre campaign from We Are Social.  

The Parisian agency has taken the logos of ten social media brands and rendered them in various popular tattoo styles and is pledging to pay a tattoo artist to ink it on the body part of your choice.

Tattoos available include Facebook’s iconic F, rendered in goth style; for lovers there is the Tinder flame logo; or for those looking for something a little more straight-laced, LinkedIn. Hmmm, who wouldn't want to get that funky business networking site indelibly rendered on one's bod?

Also available are YouTube; Instagram; Twitter; Twitch; Snapchat; Messenger; and SoundCloud.

Sandrine Plasseraud, founder and president of We Are Social Paris, said: “We love digital cultures at We Are Social, so we’re exploring the very popular tattoo trend through the prism of social media. If you’re desperate to get inked with one of these logos, it’s your lucky day! We’ll pay for it! Simple as that.”

The free tattoo offer is only available for French residents.
