ChasNote

Simply wear this headband after applying your Ryan McSorley Skin by Chanel:

And — voila! — all your friends will know you use only the finest skin-care products because they’ll see the Chanel logo that’s temporarily embossed on your forehead.

From NOTCOT:

“It did get me thinking about the future of branding and technology. Imagine if the lotion itself had the ability to create those branded impressions. Or if the samples created a brand on your cheek… unlocking the full version gave you the full experience brand free? Much like software? Or what if tattoos came in creme form? Or imagine if you are what you eat, and small symbols appeared on the skin of your wrist showing what you are made of — fun motivation to get some eating healthier?”

Creme tattoos? Certainly a much better idea than Ray Bans tattooed around your eyes or the Golden Palace Casino logo on your forehead.

I found this listing on eBay.

Truth be told, I found it on Digg while I was searching for “advertising” stories. (I’m not currently looking to place the ChasNote logo on someone’s head!)

My favorite part is where the sellers veer from AAAA/IAB standard terms and conditions: “No Returns Accepted.”

This isn’t the first time I’ve come across enterprising individuals offering branded tattoos to the highest bidder. Three years ago a Salt Lake City woman made $10,000 in exchange for tattooing GoldenPalace.com (in letters an inch tall, per the agreement) on her forehead. By my very rough math, I calculated that she earned an effective CPM of just $11.42.
