It is hyphenated.

Why? There is clearly enough room to put it across. That just looks even worse than expected.

Great, now we know he has another shitty tattoo and a hairy back.
Still fat.
Still not sexy.
And still doesn't deserve a Giz post.

"Welcome to the Social"

"Unfortunatly we are full"

i'm actually amazed at how terrible the quality of the tattoo came to be. i mean, he did dish out some money, but for that? c'mon, there could've been MUCH better ways to waste... oh, i dunno... say 100$? maybe a few new accessories, or maybe a fund for the iphone?

ewww Giz! Not while I'm eating here!

What's gonna be really interesting is when the Zune dies off. Thats like getting a "Sony Walkman" logo tattooed on your body back in the early 90's

Welcome to the dermatologist.

I have 1 word for this...
WHY?????????

He should get a tattoo that says "Stop fucking eating you fat bastard so you can reach far enough around you to wash your pimple-covered arms and back"

Welcome to the social breeding ground for Propionibacterium acnes.

People can be so cruel, but I guess thats what you get when you stick your fat ass on the internet with Zune tattoos. It's like a voluntary Stars Wars kid.

you mean 80's JOSEPH , why would someone get a tattoo like that, I guess it's like people you see with a big ass Nike sing in the back of their car, I'm always tempted to go up and ask them if Nike is paying their insurance bills

...love my Zune, but not that much

What you all don't realize is that this guy has a precious commodity... AD SPACE.

He's turning his enormous body into a walking billboard and apparently, Microsoft is buying into it. This guy could make a fortune selling ad space on his body.

I was all set to make a witty comment, but what the hell is that on his index finger?

Hola, I was a dork contest finalist on your site a year ago (maybe two?). I put that on my resume. Although I didn't win, I still visit your site. I am sometimes intrigued, and sometimes bored. Im not gadgetly inclined. I'm not an engineer. I am however very good at making fun of people and coming up with witty responses. I like to point out the stupid and clearly retarded. Im anti douchebaggery but at the same time exude the same qualities. Please let me comment on your site. I promise it won't be often and never under the influence. I'm female btw. Does that have any influence?

p.s. I submitted a picture of me in wonder woman underoos! Doesn't that count for something?

Keep up the good work.

This guy is going to wake up one day and slit his wrists when he realizes the Zune is not cool. At all.

Whats next? A Coors light tatoo? This guy needs help...

@SUPERBAD

I think it's a callus, from all that "socializing" with his Zune.

Welcome to the mental hospital, that guy looks Cuh-Razy! Zune good, Zune tats bad!

so, so, sad. he could at least gotten a hooker with that money

He is a Zunegina. This is a clear cut case of douchebaggery. Im investing my money in tattoo removal.

OK, I don't want to seem mean or anything, but his shoulder looks like a branded farm animal is crawling its way out of his shirt.

this guy needs to be neutered so his children don't grow up and leech off the system.

i'm loving that 'bud light' poster in the background as well.

What is this guy thinking? He should just get a tattoo that says "I'm a glutinous consumer." That would say the exact same thing as a bunch of Zune tattoos, but at least it would be cynical and moderately witty.

Moreover, that's some bad ink. Whoever that tattoo artist was, they really really botched that typography. It looks really sloppy and rushed. Sorry Mr. Smith, it's time for a coverup.

"welcome to the social" Is he talking to the fat cells?

@ AQUAOSX

Not like anyone here isn't a glutinous consumer. Oh you spent all that money on your ipod or your macbook pro? You could've bought a cheaper PC and donated money to charity or helped people around the world. This is no different than the people who idolize Apple and make Apple related crap such as cakes or things to idolize their faith in Apple.

Both APPLE AND MICROSOFT ARE CORPORATIONS. CORPORATIONS SHOULD NOT BE WORSHIPED. If you're going to hate on people who idolize the zune, you better be hating on people who idolize Apple to exterema as well.

Wow. You know, he could sell ad space to MS if he wanted to.

No seriously. Think about how much MS would pay him just for his arm.

I agree with the "I'm a glutinous consumer." tattoo -- especially if it's misspelled like that. It'd still be better than these stupid Zune tattoos.

Dude! When you run out of skin......well I guess ......it's all over
Have a good time

let's give the man a break. the morbidly obese have to flaunt it where they can get it, and if there's one thing that this man excels at is clearly surface area. a clear fan of quantity over quality, i'd say that he's likely satisfied with the situation.

"Starland Vocal Band? They suck!"

HAHAHA Oh wow. I think the guy is a genius.
He could be some random, invisible fat guy walking in a crowd with no one noticing him.

Now? He's the Microsoft tattoo guy.

Well, ok, most people will just pass by, laugh, or go to tech blogs and say how stupid he is for doing something like that. But hey, at least people care.

And I'm willing to bet people care much more now than before he started doing the tattoos...

Also: Wel- come is bad... very bad. He should've sticked to logos. Tattooing words is something most people will regret later.

But like I said, I don't think the guy cares that much on how he looks, as long as he gets his attention.

Like that guy who had the whole body tattoed to become a tiger... or that other one that became a lizard or something. Or the one that makes commercial tattoos....

Ogre screams "NEEEEEERRRRRDDDD!!!!"

Forget the stupidity that is a Zune tattoo for a moment.

If this guy wants to keep turning himself into a billboard, he really needs to find a better tattoo artist.

It's too bad he couldn't get the tattoo and run on a treadmill at the same time. He coulda gotten the text in 48 point font and still had enough room not to need the hyphen. This is a good lesson guys. You get this fat and you'll end up with some tattoos of a sorry ass product all over your gelatinous self.

Lets suppose he does loose the weight, will the tat be big enough to read? Maybe thats why it looks like it does, they were planning on the shrinkage!

this guy needs a full body liposuction treatment - [www.liposuctionbody.com]

I'm still waiting patiently on Zune 2.0. My guess is they are waiting until after the Halo 3 launch to announce something.

Somewhere in Redmond, lawyers are poring over civil statutes looking for grounds to get an injunction that would stop this guy from publicly associating himself with Zune.

This is like the kiss of death to Zune's already tenuous pretensions of coolness.

For those of you who keep mentioning the use of the hyphen, this is what he was going for...it was the artist that failed miserably at replicating a simple font on a fairly flat surface of skin.

Can I possibly blow this picture up and use it as a "scarekids" for those annoying kids in the neighborhood? Then again it'd probably scare away 99% of all people that walk by my place...

I'm gonna laugh my ass off when Microsoft comes out with their next media player NOT named the Zune...with a different logo...and different catchphrase...and this guy goes, "ah damn."

I bet this guy pulls lots of tail. Panties fall when Zune tatoos come out.

Sad Mother Hubbard...

I'd like to reserve some ad space on his 3rd chin please...

Somebody put this guy out of his misery.

What's next? May I suggest? A liposuction perhaps! FAT @#$!

Small tattoos on fat people look horrible.

@nachobel: It's Coors.
