Just terrible



Oh, just terrible! It's a Newsweek article about yuppie scum and their scummy, yuppie tattoos of brand logos. Exhibit A: Peter McBride and his Polo logo tattoo. At first, Moxie thought it was a cancerous mole or birthmark, but alas, no.

The idea came to him as he was waiting in line behind a man at a D.C. tattoo parlor: "I noticed his polo shirt and made my decision." McBride's whimsy notwithstanding, his decision is increasingly common. Gaje Pou, a New York City tattoo artist, says getting inked with designer or corporate logos is "definitely getting more acceptable." Logo requests range from Chanel and Gucci to Windows and PlayStation.
