Simple, Get A Tattoo, Get 20% Off…
The idiots over at Ecko Unltd. have come up with a brilliant marketing campaign. They’ve decided to offer any mental midget that’s willing to brand themselves for life with an Ecko tattoo a whopping 20% off (in stores only). Here’s their selling imagery:

*Tattoo must be permanent, not temporary. Offer valid only in Marc Ecko Cut & Sew and Ecko Unltd. store locations in the United States and Puerto Rico. Open only to individuals 18 years of age or older. Cannot be combined with any other offers.
How rad is this? Hoping retards are gullible enough to permanently mark their bodies to get a shitty 20% off…and not letting that discount be combined with other offers? Holy shit. I mean right next to the whole tattoo thing is an offer for 15% off to join the mailing list. So basically they’re offering you 5% off what mailing folks get, but you have to TA-FUCKIN-TTOO THIS SHIT ON YOURSELF.
Do the Ecko folks think that their brand is so awesome that it deserves this kind of timeless homage? Wait…is Ecko that awesome? If so, we sure weren’t aware of it.
Then again, maybe the whole thing is another Banksy project and the joke is on anyone that believes it’s real.
*April fools?

I actually have a ton of respect for Mark Ecko .. dude did more with his ideas in hiphop/fashion than most…but, this is damn corny.
Oh Wait, I think there is room by my tribal Izod tat for a Rhino. They’ll get along swimmingly.
This pompous campaign has soured how I feel about their brand, but still like em..
We were contacted by Ecko about this post. Here’s what they sent us (nope, definitely not an April Fool’s):
