TATTOO CLUB
Tattoo Tattoo Tattoo Tattoo Tattoo Tattoo Tattoo Tattoo Tattoo Tattoo Tattoo Tattoo Tattoo Tattoo UPDATE, 1/29/13:
When we first developed our tattoo subscription, we reserved the right to corral things should they ever get out of control. While things are still under control (for the most part), we’ve decided to cap the Tattoo Club’s lifetime subscription reward at 25 members. For the 26th club member and on, when you tattoo your person with our radio logo, you will receive any 10 books we have available or forthcoming.

When we initially dreamed up this club, we were never even sure that one person would join, and we are absolutely ecstatic and inspired by the folks out there who have taken the plunge, so to speak. Meeting folks who've gotten the tattoo while at events or conferences has been an incredibly fun and rewarding experience, almost like running into a long-lost friend. So, we certainly welcome any future club members willing to take the plunge, so to speak.


ORIGINALLY POSTED, FALL 2010:
In the spirit of not taking ourselves too seriously, we’ve decided to develop a lifetime subscription option at Two Dollar Radio in which readers will be able to get every book we ever publish. Forever. And the best news is that it’s free. Naturally, though, as in all deals that sound too good to be true - like with the Carpet Barn down the street - there’s an asterisk.

There’s a breakfast place in San Diego we used to go to called The Broken Yolk. They have a special on their menu “for the iron man or woman” where if you eat a dozen-egg omelet within an hour it’s free. And, to top it off, you get your name emblazoned on a plaque on the wall.

Our new Lifetime Subscription is kind of like that. It’s for the iron man or woman.

In order to receive the subscription, you’ll have to tattoo our logo upon your body. I’ll be the first to admit that the tattoo itself essentially boils down to branding, which is ordinarily associated with horrific historical events or livestock, but ideally there’s a give-and-take associated with it. A Two Dollar Radio radio tattoo will hopefully grant the brandisher some credibility in literary circles as well as a hipness factor in social settings. Also, it’s a great conversation starter. I don’t know how many times I’ve had to answer the question, ‘Is that a boombox on your wrist?’

For anyone on the fence about getting a literary tattoo but unsure of which to get, compared to other logos the radio logo is pretty cool. Certainly cooler than a wooden chair. Although, I humbly concede, the St. Martin’s Minotaur is pretty bad-ass.

To date, there are three of us who have tattooed the radio upon our body: myself, my wife and business partner, Eliza, as well as author Joshua Mohr. We published his first (Some Things That Meant the World to Me) and second (Termite Parade) novels, and will publish his third book (Damascus) next fall.

I asked Josh to comment on how the tattoo has affected his life, and he said: “The day after getting my Two Dollar Radio tattoo, I won the lottery, fell in love, vanquished a foe, was cast in a feature film, and the Iranian president offered to fellate me (I accepted). All in all, let's just say things are on the uptick for this disgruntled writer.”

While the likelihood of this string of events being repeated for someone else is statistically improbable, Josh Mohr is pretty exceptional.

Availability of the tattoo subscription will continue in perpetuity. Or until things get out of control.

Persons should send an action picture of their tattoo being drawn, as well as a picture after the tat has healed to twodollar[at]twodollarradio.com. You’ll also get a shirt if you send a video. In addition to receiving a lifetime subscription of books, the person will be featured on our website, our virtual plaque on the wall.

As with The Broken Yolk’s omelet special, there had to be that first dude who was offered the challenge of a dozen-egg omelet. I’m not sure if anyone will accept our challenge, but it’d be pretty cool if someone did.
