What kind of man gets a Zune tattoo?

engadget.com — You might say he's one in a million -- literally. Is it just us or does he already look really regretful about the decision he just made?

Who Dugg It?

WildTang3nt, on 10/11/2007, -36/+105This man has NO life...
- rwallen, on 10/11/2007, -10/+613He use to have no life, now he is part of the social.
- jim1977, on 10/11/2007, -49/+14you know that's probably felt tip...
- mattxb, on 10/11/2007, -10/+170I've seen much more regrettable looking tattoos. This one looks decent and I bet most people couldn't even recognize the Zune logo anyway.
  Why would he do it? I have no idea.
- SNIa, on 10/11/2007, -13/+52Use the sword of a thousand truths!
- Nitrodist, on 10/11/2007, -28/+138Probably fake.
- Rhino2, on 10/11/2007, -17/+8lolz. I bet he'll laugh this off when he sobers up. :)

  That type....

  Or is his body already covered in the script to his 1996 Microsoft presentation?
- zybch, on 10/11/2007, -35/+46Makes one thing about another question, "What Kind Of Man Gets An Apple Tattoo?"
  
  The answer is the same, a very sad individual with no life, no friends, and no prospects!
- aussieNickuss, on 10/11/2007, -14/+76I've never seen the zune, never touched or used one....they don't even sell it in my country. From what I've read....I dislike the zune very very much, but I do like its logo.
  
  9 out of 10 people arn't gonna know what that logo belongs to, they're just gonna see a cool(ish) looking symbol.
- bilco, on 10/11/2007, -10/+30How about the woman that gets an Azeures Tattoo ???

- ICSU, on 10/11/2007, -8/+77Don't worry, he wasn't going to get laid anyway.
- thehuntedpossum, on 10/11/2007, -6/+19its almost as appalling as that mustache..
- flag564, on 10/11/2007, -19/+56He is free to have anything he wants.
  
  The fact that people here actually have the nerve to mock a person for doing that shows that HE is not the one that has "no life".
  
  Live free or die? Not if the Digg group think has anything to say about it.
- StephenCIreland, on 10/11/2007, -14/+3Balmer probably told him hed get girls :D
- manicleek, on 10/11/2007, -18/+26At least he's original, there are probably thousands of tools out there with an apple logo tattoo
- GruntGrunt, on 10/11/2007, -3/+49With the simple addition of a Zune tattoo, Larry completed the metamorphosis to become overwhelmingly attractive to the Ladies....
- timusca, on 10/11/2007, -15/+7Eh... I have an Apple tattoo. Fanboy, yes. Should I care that anyone else cares, no.
- championchap, on 10/11/2007, -1/+19Haha, weird.. just yesterday I came across this!

- ApolloXLII, on 10/11/2007, -15/+4i would love to say something intelligent about this... but all i can really muster up is...
  
  GGAAYYYYYY
- labmouse42, on 10/11/2007, -5/+7Meh, he can have it covered up into a better looking tattoo if he wishes.
  And just because you got ink, does not mean you have no life. :D
  
  My next piece will be a Dark Angel from Warhammer 40k.

- rholloway, on 10/11/2007, -2/+15Honestly--who wasn't surprised to see that it was Comic Book Guy?
- faskippy, on 10/11/2007, -7/+6Tatoo instructions: Wet arm. Place tatoo (ink side down) on wet arm, and apply pressure for 20 seconds. Peel away paper, and presto!
- Arkonnan, on 10/11/2007, -9/+6> Probably fake.
  
  That does not have the look of a freshly inked tattoo. It's hard to tell from the picture, but I don't see any redness or swelling around the marked area. It's probably a temporary tattoo. A lot of shops do those.

  Somehow I don't think you'd be saying that if this was some apple-related tattoo...
- darigaaz, on 10/11/2007, -8/+3>What kind of -idiot- gets a Zune tattoo?
  
  Fixed
- linkwray, on 10/11/2007, -8/+11@macaddct1984
  
  You must be new to Digg. flag564 is a notorious Mac Hater/MicroSoft Sycophant. He's been trolling on here for a long time now. You might want to try out the "Ignore User" feature.
- FrancisCostello, on 10/11/2007, -2/+9"How about the woman that gets an Azeures Tattoo ???"
  
  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dendrobates_azureus
  Seeing that an azeurus is just a cool looking blue frog, its not that big of a deal. Most people wouldn't have a clue thats it's also the name of a bittorrent client, hell, she might not even know.
- ronin691, on 10/11/2007, -7/+2"I have never seen a Zune..." Yeah I was just thinking the same thing. How long have they been out? I have never seen one being used in public, not once. I have seen them stacked to the top of the display case at the WalMart, right next to the empty display case where the iPods should be.
  
  Can we get an informal Digg poll going? I made this, if you got a second. I am just interested in knowing:
  
  "Have you ever seen a Zune?"

- rpgmaker, on 10/11/2007, -1/+2At least he is not a sheep, what I think about the people that think that THEY'RE cool by having an Apple tattoo. Is stupid have company logo as tattoo anyways, if you don't believe me go and ask to the guys at the top of the Bubble 1.0 ;)
- jman8888, on 10/11/2007, -1/+2Thats Probally Just Flag564.

  And what about you, you seem like a MS hater/ Apple Sycophant to me. That guy is a loser because he had a Zune tatoo!!! How about the guy with the apple logo on his head!!! Who is anyone on this site to judge who is the loser??? If your Apple is the best thing in your life I can see who is the one without a life here.

- DarkGrim, on 10/11/2007, -1/+0He probably asked for an Ipod logo but instead they gave him the Zune logo by mistake
- specialK16, on 10/11/2007, -5/+2Ha, fatass.
  
  I hate tattoos anyways. If they are on a girl, it's a MAYOR turn off for me.
- Scheissen, on 10/11/2007, -3/+1The Zune sucks.
- EmceeCommon, on 10/11/2007, -3/+3Wild tangent stfu seriously. Have you ever held a Zune/used one. I have. I own one. They are great products. Grow some balls. iPod fanboys are such little kids. Get a ***** life.
aknowles5139, on 10/11/2007, -18/+52Well… at least he’ll have a good excuse for committing suicide.
- aDJsavedmylife, on 10/11/2007, -20/+6You ***** prick...
  
  You made me spit my coffee all over my desk at work.
  
  hahahaha
- NSMike, on 10/11/2007, -14/+17It amazes me that so many people think that just because a branding is different on a device, it sucks that much more. It's an iPod people. It plays MS's proprietary files instead of Apple's. That's the only difference.
- NSMike, on 10/11/2007, -10/+13Okay, can anyone who buried my above comment give a rational reason for doing so other than rampant fanboyism?
  
  I've owned a Zune, and now own an iPod. They're practically the EXACT same device. The only difference is the click wheel, and personally, I preferred the d-pad over the click wheel. The click wheel is too inaccurate for my taste. Only reason I got rid of my Zune and got an iPod is because my Zune would periodically lock up. But it's a first gen product trying to match a 5th gen product pound for pound, and it does a pretty damn good job otherwise.
- insinuate, on 10/11/2007, -1/+5Or maybe its just a really bad joke from a tattoo artist...

estvir, on 10/11/2007, -12/+23What the hell.. why people get tattoos of anything like this (I've seen photos of people with Apple tattoos, for example) is beyond me.

I just have to say it again, what the hell.

  Are you kidding?
  You can see the regret in his eyes in that picture!
CodeofHonor, on 10/11/2007, -10/+32This had to be because of a bet or a dare, with a lot at steak, It just doesn't make sense other wise.
- filefly, on 10/11/2007, -5/+53Mmmm... steak...
- BlueInGreen, on 10/11/2007, -10/+27I'd bet a lot of steak was at stake.

- mal1964, on 10/11/2007, -14/+3@aliarse, OK I was just guessing you must of had a close up look at it.

  I did. It's tiny.
  
  Still bigger than yours though.

- stan182, on 10/11/2007, -8/+1telling by how fat he is, I guess "microsoft" wouldn't fit on his johnson.. maybe he's got "zune" tattooed there as well...
- faskippy, on 10/11/2007, -6/+1M...t
mushroom, on 10/11/2007, -9/+18Its most likely fake but if its not all it is the logo not the name maybe he likes the logo
- cozmoz365, on 10/11/2007, -2/+9Its not a fake, check out the close up: http://www.zunescene.com/forums/index.php?topic=16115.0
- cdnbambam, on 10/11/2007, -4/+1Mszunefan, I will never trust a female sounding name again. What the say really is true.lol
- iliketokick, on 10/11/2007, -6/+13I don't know what's more depressing- the fact that that guy got a Zune tattoo or that someone here visits the zune forums.
- speaker219, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1@iliketokick (#7141833)
  He probably doesn't visit the Zune Forums, all you have to do is click "Read" on the Engadget post and it would've taken you to that post...
thomasprebble, on 10/11/2007, -21/+8A Microsoft fanboy? Oh my lord they do exist!
- jim1977, on 10/11/2007, -16/+4tell me about it -- i thought digg only had apple and nintendo fanboys
- thomasprebble, on 10/11/2007, -10/+2Well it appears not since we are both getting dugg down.
- GawtMilk, on 10/11/2007, -6/+2The Lilluminati!
- Binto, on 10/11/2007, -10/+1crapbox360 fanboys is more like it.
  
  ps. how's that ring of death treating you guys?
- kevinfell, on 10/11/2007, -6/+3http://digg.com/users/7of7
- thomasprebble, on 10/11/2007, -10/+3I swear to god we have some insiders here. You can't criticize Microsoft even when it's deserved without being dugg down. Come on MS fanboys! I'm waiting. Digging me down only makes me harder!
  
  @kevinfell
  That's just spooky!
- seraph82, on 10/11/2007, -11/+17"A Microsoft fanboy? Oh my lord they do exist!"
  
  Lean over so I can slap you in the face. The difference between Microsoft and Apple is *actual* business success and a whole hell of a lot less annoying dancing silhouette commercials. If I had to chose to buy products from one maker of the two for the rest of my life, I'd definitely go with the less annoying, more successful of the two companies. Your best bet is not to buy into anyone's hype, because being a fanboy is being a LOSER.
  
  You, sir, are ***** retarded.
- SilentSpyder, on 10/11/2007, -4/+4there's a difference between successful and good. Honda Civics are successful, Bentleys are good.
imeddy, on 10/11/2007, -6/+8A fat man.
lechatron, on 10/11/2007, -8/+10Regardless of the meaning behind it, it's an interesting design. Years ago I considered getting the back office logo tattooed on my arm:

http://www.efriends4dvm.com/images/pic_msbo.gif

For no other reason than I liked the design.
- Murdats, on 10/11/2007, -2/+6I agree, both his tatoo and the image above look pretty cool.
  I mean if he chose it because he loves his mp3 player then its just as lame as those who tatoo the apple logo on themselves
  
  but if he chose it because it looks cool then, cool.
- djruden, on 10/11/2007, -5/+4So loving the logo and loving the product are different how?
  
  People get tattoos of what they like, just because you don't like it doesn't mean anything to them.
- clackerd, on 10/11/2007, -0/+0yuck. you would have been tormented if you went through with it. good job resisting the urge.

No I would not say he is one in a million. There are billions of people on this planet so to be one in a million means there are Thousands like him, and being a group of thousands of others is not being individual at all.

Zune tattoo? come on.
- seraph82, on 10/11/2007, -4/+9Shhhh - logic usually hurts the brains of the Apple zombies here at digg. Such complex math may cause their fragile minds to warp and they need those to do the *taxing* jobs they couldn't have landed without their super complicated liberal arts degrees from subpar universities!
- AnotherBrian, on 10/11/2007, -1/+1Darn you, I came in here to say that means there should be about 6,600 other people with that tattoo.
vancanucksfan, on 10/11/2007, -7/+10whoever thinks its a real tattoo is too gullible. he obviously did that just to get on the front pages of the internets. attention whore
- zybch, on 10/11/2007, -4/+3Not certain its fake, but I'm more than a bit dubious about it.
  My own tat and other newly done ones I've seen all were quite red around the area immediately after the sessions and for several days after that too, this zune one shows no redness at all, especially for one that reportedly took 3 hours to apply. It really just looks like paint or something on a sickly white piece of flesh.
- seraph82, on 10/11/2007, -3/+6retard, look at the guy saying "dont read engaget" -- he posts a link to the forum thread this is from. There's a closeup of it -- it's real. It's dumb (and so are you), but it's real.
milkem, on 10/11/2007, -6/+14"Isn't that the World of Warcraft guy from that South Park episode?"
-Ace
Cyber_Akuma, on 10/11/2007, -5/+6Could be worse, at least he didnt tattoo the Halo 2 release date on his arm.
- rdoger6424, on 10/11/2007, -1/+2yeah, getting a brand new tattoo that says "November 9, 2004" would be rather retarded.
cavie2002, on 10/11/2007, -6/+8hes not regretful he just looks that way cause his stomache hurts from eating the tattoo artist
Ngai, on 10/11/2007, -4/+17 This guy will get sued by Microsoft for everything he doesn't have...
WayneMan, on 10/11/2007, -6/+45That's actually a midget with a full-body tattoo of a fat guy.
Jctrl, on 10/11/2007, -6/+0NUTZ, man that guy is on something
mal1964, on 10/11/2007, -7/+3The same type of man has a barbwire tattoo on the other arm
- zybch, on 10/11/2007, -6/+2Not this guy. He says its his 1st tat.
- clackerd, on 10/11/2007, -0/+0come on. tribal tattoos are the biggest thing since web 1.0
DMU789, on 10/11/2007, -3/+29He can share that tattoo with you but you can only wear it for 3 days or show it to 3 people.
- revenge7, on 10/11/2007, -0/+5Or you can get an iPod tatoo, and not share it at all.
- PueSi, on 10/11/2007, -0/+2And it scratches like hell.
bluezinc, on 10/11/2007, -6/+2Who gets a zune tattoo? a big fat hairy dude who wears a dirty jersey around.
Jumboto, on 10/11/2007, -6/+2very Uncreative.
Accutron, on 10/11/2007, -7/+2I believe Mark Burban said it best:

"Q. What kind of man gets a Zune tattoo?
A. Someone who gets his mate to draw it on his arm with marker pens, then takes a photo with a mock confused look on his face, so that this may make it to engadget's front page, & improve his chances of getting laid (or winning something free) by @ least 1%."
- Godmil, on 10/11/2007, -7/+6You're too cynical. Everything on the Internet is true!
ShangHaiKid, on 10/11/2007, -5/+18What kind of man? A Virgin.
hellotyler, on 10/11/2007, -13/+4HAHAHHAHAAHAHHAH *****!
chummers, on 10/11/2007, -4/+1A guy I know has a hurley tatoo... Not sure which one is more pathetic
saggygrandma, on 10/11/2007, -7/+4I was guessing this would be about someone who ms paid to have one.
mshanly, on 10/11/2007, -8/+3Question: What kind of man gets a Zune tattoo?
Answer: A 45 year old virgin who lives in his Mother's basement.
ours, on 10/11/2007, -4/+11The same kind of man that gets a apple, penguin, microsoft flag tattoo. An idiot. But it's his body so let him be.
- seraph82, on 10/11/2007, -2/+1Well put.
WarrenHarding, on 10/11/2007, -7/+1you know this "stunt" is just the work of apple fanboys, right? you aren't so gullible as to believe this guy actually tattooed a zune logo on his arm, are you?
tektalk, on 10/11/2007, -9/+8We knock the Zune tattoo but definetley not the apple tattoo... http://blog.nobon.boo.jp/images/apple_tattoo.jpg
- thomasprebble, on 10/11/2007, -10/+1Better Apple than Zune if you're that way inclined.
- unknownunknowns, on 10/11/2007, -6/+3@thomas
  
  No.
- seraph82, on 10/11/2007, -2/+4@Thomas:
  Hm. A slut with a tramp stamp is better than a fat dude with a zune logo? I'll buy that. A slut with a zune trampstamp is sill better than a fat dude with an apple logo, so the point is moot, and you're a mouth breathing idiot.
jazzviolin, on 10/11/2007, -2/+19I think the tattoo is the least of his problems.
crazybugger, on 10/11/2007, -7/+3Ho Ho Ho! Zune Rules?
