Strange Bedfellows! Social Networks & Tattoo's

OneShotTattoo

Have you heard of www.TattooJohnny.com ?  I Freely admit I had not heard of this site nor had I visited it.  Call me old fashioned but I still look to "brick & mortar" for my Tattoo's (picture is from OneShot Japan).  What is interesting is that comScore (SCOR) put out a press release today citing the correlation between heavy online social network users with top retail sites.  Its no surprise that Music was Top of the pile followed closely by Luxury Goods - Accessories - Apparel. 

I've heard of www.alloy.com and www.pacsun.com or even www.HotTopic.com (I'm not that old).  However TattooJohnny took top honors amongst sites that the heavy Social Networking segment visited based on their recent study by SCOR.  I checked them out on Alexa they have been around since 2005 with a nice ramp on Daily Reach numbers.  Is it coincidence that a few Tattoo apps have emerged on FaceBook?  I suggest the would-be Facebook application designers take heed of the correlation between your user base and where they go to buy clothes, accessorize etc (inclusive of Jewelry and Body Art) , then figure out how to monetize the Application by bringing the two together.
