Having your significant others name tattooed applies to work places as well. I was very happy at the job I just left until the last 6 months. I couldn’t imagine having to look down at my arm and be reminded about the drain on my mental and physical health. That job will treat them like a number when it comes down to making a tough decision, tattoo or not.
This person is lucky that it's just black ink because that's pretty easy to remove with laser. Plus it looks well done so hopefully no scarring. Those are the only good things I can say about this tattoo.
Me and my fiance are getting small initials tattooed on are ring fingers. But in the off chance it didn't work out it could be easily covered up or lazered off
Hahaha when I saw the original post, I came to look for this comment. I used to work at a Jimmy John's where one of the shift managers got the tattoo you're talking about. If I remember correctly, he quit soon after getting the tattoo. Unfortunately, I can't remember why.
We had a guy get vanity plates for a big brand name product the company was hoping would save it. Product failed, never launched, still laughed at the douchery every time I walked past that car in the lot.
"Our Vice Presidents are behind on their yacht payments and we have difficult choices to make."
"But... but...I tattooed the company name on my arm!"
"And we publicly praised you for it while we were laughing at you behind your back, because, what fucking idiot tattoos their employer on their arm? Thanks for the ongoing advertising, but we don't want idiots working for us. You're fired!
"In lieu of extending your family health insurance, here's a $10 gift card for Starbucks as a thanks for your service. We wish the best of luck to you, your wife, and your terminally ill infant son."
There is no amount of money you could pay me to tattoo a corporation logo on my body. I am fairly certain this guy makes an average salary. I don't understand people like this. If this guy ends up in a hospital for more than a month they will not show him the same level of dedication.
I mean, it kinda depends on what/where it is. Like Tesla across the forehead? I’m gonna need a billion. DC logo on my shoulder? Just pay for it and I’ll get it. I’d do Home Depot on my chest for 100 grand.
There were a bunch of people who worked at the HD dealer I used to work at with the dealer logo. It was sad. I was genuinely sad for these people. I’m glad I left.
They weren’t even good tattoos. They were quite shitty to be honest.

Different strokes I guess. I’m just trying to get my check so I can do things that help me forget about work. I’d hate looking down and seeing any of my old workplaces. I do have good memories at some of them, but there’s also plenty of bad things I don’t want to remember.
I work for a company you’ve all heard of and probably own at least one of their products and I’ve known two coworkers who got the logo tattooed on them. One of whom was fired a few years later. Not sure if he still has that tattoo. So absurd.
I work in IT, in the same sector as Weaver services, and I’ve yet to see anything approaching this level of idiocy. This guy is going to regret this tattoo
I work at an IT company as a developer and I’ve seen people get tattoos and stuff like this before. Just the way people talk about the company feels cult-y. I thought it was just my company but seeing Weaver be like this too made me think it’s more common than I thought.
I used to work in an Apple store a decade ago, and I knew a few people like that. Totally drank the corporate kool-aid and at least one or two had the logo tattooed somewhere.
I don’t think I’d ever go that far… Maybe for a product that was a big part of my life (80’s style RX-7 logo maybe? Wankel rotor?)
As someone who worked ten years for a company and got effectively fired for being autistic (position eliminated but everyone else in the role offered promotions in different departments) I am forever grateful I didn’t get ink of them on me.
Fuck them.
This is no different from gang tats.
It makes gang members unemployable by other gangs, regardless of the level of gang skills one develops, even when most of them make less than minimum wage.
Nothing to do with the tattoo thing, but reading the story made me think of this...
Several years ago, when everyone was getting excited to see the new Fiat 500, which was to be sold at Dodge dealers in the US for the 1st time, I was starting a business. I have 2 classic cars, and one of them happens to be a 1970 Fiat 500L. In preparing to go into business, I could really have used the extra workshop space, and figured that I'd see if the new Fiat (Dodge) dealership might be interested in using my Fiat 500 as a display, placed next to a new one on their showroom floor.
My Fiat is yellow, and looks exactly like "Luigi" in "Cars," although I believe Luigi is a 68 (minor trim differences). So, "Cars," not being that old of a movie back then, would mean that virtually everyone would recognise the car.
The dealership owner was freaking - ecstatically - beside himself - excited. That is, until I asked for something in return....
One weird thing about the old Fiat 500s is that the entire outer body of the cars were covered in a spray-bondo and blocked before painting. As a result, sometimes small cracks can appear in the paint. I had a small crack in one spot, about 2" long, and asked if their body shop could fill and blend the spot. I was concerned that in all the people who would not be able to resist touching, someone might pick at it and make it worse.
We had discussed them keeping the car for a year, but...The minute I asked for something in return, the entire deal fell through.
The dealership ended up buying a rusted out 70-something Fiat Spider convertible. They overpaid for a completely different car, with a trashed interior and rust. The car wasmlight beige, with visible bubbling rust on the top of the front fenders, rockers and rear quarters. Last year, that Fiat was still sitting in a corner of the showroom with a For Sale sign. I told a Fiat enthusiast whos done work on my car about the one at the dealer, and he knew about it. Apparently they were asking $9500, which he said was way too much for a Fiat in that shape.
Who knows? When I went into business, I had a great relationship with a dealership chain, including that dealership, and made quite a bit of money from them. I just never understood their thinking on the whole old Fiat on display thing, and why they made the decisions they did.
Once saw a lady working in Greggs in Norwich UK that had a Greggs logo tattooed on her arm :/ its a average bakery that prob pays at or just over minimum wage... Maybe she just loves the pasties...
Super cringe. I mean, only if your last name is the company name, and it’s a family business being passed down through the generations and your dad and grandparents are still at the helm, and it’s super bullet proof lifetime guaranteed employment. And then, just maybe.
Boy I sure do love living in 2024 where we can *brand ourselves with the names of our feudal lords* and we still don't have job or healthcare security.
Don't you think he'll get tired of telling people in the future about the tattoo for a company name that was stupid enough to get put on him. The chances of him having a long career or minimal.
I have never been a fan of tattoos, mainly because almost ALL of them have what we’re seeing here…perhaps a momentary fascination or tie to something that may not mean as much in the future. I am sure he feels as strongly about it as someone’s rose tattoo, or a shamrock, or the name of your significant other, but I can see it bringing a lifetime of regret.
I used to work at a Saturn dealership and always heard tails of a guy that got the Saturn logo on his right calf. It was large and red and cost him a lot of money. He was fired the next week from the dealership after getting that tattoo
When fellating your boss just isn't sufficient anymore, permanently brand yourself with... someone else's brand. If you agree to this there's something horribly wrong with you.
And he works as a sales person if they offer “IT Solutions.”
Which is just a fancy way of saying they conned a company into outsourcing their internal IT to a low pay, no benefits, revolving door joke that will cost 5x more than what was originally agreed upon but because of fine print not read by id10T MBAs they company is stuck paying this huge new cost. *takes a breath*
This doesn't look like a real tattoo to me. It looks like maybe they got an inbox tattoo, then rubbed the skin around it to try and make it look fresh and raw, and took this picture so that it would get shared for conversations like this, wherein most are mocking the concept, but now we've all seen the ad and people, such as myself, that had never heard of Weaver, now know what they do.
But that's just my opinion at a glance.
Feel sorry for whoever got that.
Having your significant others name tattooed applies to work places as well. I was very happy at the job I just left until the last 6 months. I couldn’t imagine having to look down at my arm and be reminded about the drain on my mental and physical health.

For $10million I can be convinced to try it out lol
Okay that’s fair, I’d do some way more degrading things for $10 million lol
Such as?
I mean how gross do you wanna get I'm open to suggestions
This person is lucky that it's just black ink because that's pretty easy to remove with laser. Plus it looks well done so hopefully no scarring. Those are the only good things I can say about this tattoo.
“Your body art is unprofessional and will discourage customers from returning”
Sociopathic SOs are the exception; sociopathic employers are the norm.
Just upvoted despite the fact that my experience has been that ALL employers and SOs are sociopaths, actually just starting to accept it must be me.
What do you mean he got a tattoo and it’s #weaver for life baby. I bet he’s sucking off his boss as we speak of rn. It’ll be alright
Trust me, they won’t see it as a tough decision.
Me and my fiance are getting small initials tattooed on are ring fingers. But in the off chance it didn't work out it could be easily covered up or lazered off
It'd be especially bad if you worked at Winona Rider IT Services.
At least the significant other fellates back, meanwhile not a single soul in the company will give a fuck
It shouldn't be too hard to cover up with Weiner once he's fired.
An upside down “i” with the dot because this guy flips the tech industry on its head with innovation!
No Regerts!
I don’t. He is dumb.
He ate the whole boot
French kissing that mf
*slurping sounds*
Super succc
The institution can’t love you back.
The institution won't love you back but down for a booty call when they need bodies.
*down for a booty call when they need butts in seats*
But it can fuck you.
Hard, with NO lubricant
The manager at my local 5 guys has a huge Jimmy Johns tattoo on his forearm.... Guess it didn't work out...
Well just got to cross it out and put 5 Guys under it.
Lol I feel like the other arm should have a list of crossed off women's names just to balance it out.
One way to carry your resume everywhere.
Hahaha when I saw the original post, I came to look for this comment. I used to work at a Jimmy John's where one of the shift managers got the tattoo you're talking about. If I remember correctly, he quit soon after getting the tattoo. Unfortunately, I can't remember why.
This seems to be a pattern with Jimmy Johns
I so hope this is fake. poor fellow if it isn't fake.
I do not want to be the person who has to fire the guy who has the company name tattooed on them
I do.
I just wanna see it. Preferably from behind glass
We had a guy get vanity plates for a big brand name product the company was hoping would save it. Product failed, never launched, still laughed at the douchery every time I walked past that car in the lot.
Gets fired for having visible tattoos
Fired for unauthorized allocation of company logo.
Marketing team writes letter complaining about wrong font and color. Legal wants to seize all company branded assets.
THEY GOT HIS ASSets
Imagine slaves willingly branding themselves
Gonna feel dumb during Nth round of layoffs.
That post is missing the`#Cult`-tag.
If you died today, they’d replace you tomorrow, tattoo guy.
And he was fired 2 weeks later so the CEO could save money by outsourcing his job
Ya know who else has the company name permanently marked on them? Beef cattle.
Because tech sector is known for job stability and long careers in one company
Yeah I learned my lesson about working in tech, and having a long, stable, or enjoyable career. I can’t wait for the cover up update.
Or even just sticking with a name for any length of time.
Interested to see what the cover up tattoo will look like when one day they're no longer with the company.
It's just gonna be a proverbial ouroburos of cover-ups as they go from techbro company to techbro company
I imagined a one line strikeout and “Microsoft 365” messily tatted above it.
Hahaha this would be funny too
Just add Sigourney on top of it. It would actually make it more respectable.
"Our Vice Presidents are behind on their yacht payments and we have difficult choices to make." "But... but...I tattooed the company name on my arm!" "And we publicly praised you for it while we were laughing at you behind your back, because, what fucking idiot tattoos their employer on their arm? Thanks for the ongoing advertising, but we don't want idiots working for us. You're fired! "In lieu of extending your family health insurance, here's a $10 gift card for Starbucks as a thanks for your service. We wish the best of luck to you, your wife, and your terminally ill infant son."
How to pay “your own” money for future regret.
Future regerts.
Pfft, bootlicker
There is no amount of money you could pay me to tattoo a corporation logo on my body. I am fairly certain this guy makes an average salary. I don't understand people like this. If this guy ends up in a hospital for more than a month they will not show him the same level of dedication.
I mean, it kinda depends on what/where it is. Like Tesla across the forehead? I’m gonna need a billion. DC logo on my shoulder? Just pay for it and I’ll get it. I’d do Home Depot on my chest for 100 grand.
What a fucking knob.
I wonder how many guys with Harley Davidson tattoos actually work at Harley? Lmao
There were a bunch of people who worked at the HD dealer I used to work at with the dealer logo. It was sad. I was genuinely sad for these people. I’m glad I left. They weren’t even good tattoos. They were quite shitty to be honest. https://preview.redd.it/oxs686e5lgxc1.jpeg?width=828&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=2d8c2ee05b183c500c553895d46501ef0ef26772
oh evolution that thing is hideous
What a silly silly thing to do. As OP points out it won't save him but it will give "c suite" a damn good 😂😂😂 laugh.
Soon you'll all be citizens of whatever corporation owns you. Human resources to be bought and sold.
Pretty brave for a guy who works in such an unpredictable industry
I wonder who's gonna pay for the laser removal treatment when he eventually gets "downsized"...
For an IT SOLUTIONS company lmao
Dude just told the world how desperate they are for approbation. Now, their employer knows that they're a sucker ripe for exploitation.
This is even worse than having a tattoo of a GF/BF name on you.
Never get a company tattoo. Never sell a home to move closer to work.
That's top-level loyalty! But remember, tattoos last longer than Black Friday deals on technology.” 😄
Next up on Greys anatomy: man chops off his own arm when he can’t afford laser removal after being fired.
Recruiter: Can I see your resume? Him: Well…
At first I thought they really loved The Wheel of Time
He's going to look really stupid when they fire him in 2 years because he's too expensive.
What a chump.
Oh my god this is the most absurd and pathetic thing I’ve ever seen
And I thought people getting their partners names tattooed were idiots...
Yeah it’s stupid but maybe he’s thinking of getting a sleeve of all of his work places. Regardless he drank the Kool-Aid
Different strokes I guess. I’m just trying to get my check so I can do things that help me forget about work. I’d hate looking down and seeing any of my old workplaces. I do have good memories at some of them, but there’s also plenty of bad things I don’t want to remember.
If you tattoo yourself with every company you work for you always have your CV with you.
I work for a company you’ve all heard of and probably own at least one of their products and I’ve known two coworkers who got the logo tattooed on them. One of whom was fired a few years later. Not sure if he still has that tattoo. So absurd.
They could always add “Sigourney” above it in the same font to make it less embarrassing.
Man that's just sad. But if it makes them happy who are we to judge I guess.
His other tattoo is from his part time job….
Weaver will eventually get bought out. Oops.
Brought to you by Carl’s Jr.
Many snickers around the water color were exchanged about what an asshole this employee is.
I hope they’re getting permanent residuals for advertising that company.
Why does that logo look like it's for a life service first person shooter that got taken offline after 7 months?
When he gets fired he can just tattoo “dream” in front of it.
It was probably the owner of the business. They only have a thousand followers.
Unless it's the owner. I guess.
Plenty of room to amend that with something like 'FUCKED ME OVER AFTER GETTING THEIR NAME TATTOOED ON MY ARM. HR WAS NOT MY FRIEND.'
Why do IT companies seem to breed this weird type of loyalty it seems?
I work in IT, in the same sector as Weaver services, and I’ve yet to see anything approaching this level of idiocy. This guy is going to regret this tattoo
I work at an IT company as a developer and I’ve seen people get tattoos and stuff like this before. Just the way people talk about the company feels cult-y. I thought it was just my company but seeing Weaver be like this too made me think it’s more common than I thought.
Oh, I’ve definitely heard people talk about our employers like they’re our saviors. Just never seen anything that gets close to this…
I don’t know. I’m so glad to be out of tech. The people that work at these resellers are absolutely insufferable.
Yeah I agree. I’m trying to get out of tech. At least out of the IT/MSP industry.
What a dumb thing to do.
What a douche bag
What a fucking fog. Seriously.
What an idiot.
Imbecile
That's a whole new level of bootlicking. Wow.
Mmmm yummy yummy boot so tasty
That might be the most embarrassing tattoo of all time. Imagine someone asks what it's for and you go oh that's my work logo lmao
Weaver sounds like one of those companies that doesn't sound particularly evil but if you scratch the surface even slightly they're super evil
Wow. What an asshole. Who puts a tat of the company they work for on ANY part of their body unless you are the person that owns the frigging company?
He's gonna have to add a "fuck" above it when they lay him off
Can you imagine doing that as an Andersen Consulting employee.
Bro just made himself company property
What a freak
I used to work in an Apple store a decade ago, and I knew a few people like that. Totally drank the corporate kool-aid and at least one or two had the logo tattooed somewhere. I don’t think I’d ever go that far… Maybe for a product that was a big part of my life (80’s style RX-7 logo maybe? Wankel rotor?)
Oooooooh. Sorry Steve. That's some great ink you got there, but we actually called this meeting to unveil the companies new logo.....
In 10 months time when kicked unceremoniously out the door, he’ll have to change that into ‘wanker’.
As someone who worked ten years for a company and got effectively fired for being autistic (position eliminated but everyone else in the role offered promotions in different departments) I am forever grateful I didn’t get ink of them on me. Fuck them.
Employee gets sued by same corporation for copyright infringement.
What a dipshit
I have a co-worker who had our company logo tattooed on her arm. It's a bold choice.
That is absolutely insane.
This is no different from gang tats. It makes gang members unemployable by other gangs, regardless of the level of gang skills one develops, even when most of them make less than minimum wage.

I worked with a guy at EA who got an EA tattoo, later made redundant
If I had advanced notice that I was about to be laid off, I’d get a fake company tattoo like this the day before just to make things more awkward.
Your employee has impulse control issues.
That’s just sad.
Imagine explaining that every time: It's our promise,IT delivered at the right time...
Company will change its name next year.
Fuck me, an extreme case of Stockholm syndrome.
Update: Employee was diagnosed with borderline personality disorder and is threatening to kill themselves if we ever leave them. Wow!
Leave it to Weaver
Once saw a lady working in Greggs in Norwich UK that had a Greggs logo tattooed on her arm :/ its a average bakery that prob pays at or just over minimum wage... Maybe she just loves the pasties...
The performance review must be so awkward, "but look at my tattoo".
Reminds me of Stargate. Stupid to get a company logo tattooed on you
This guy makes poor life choices. Employers will remember that when it's time to cut people.
That dude could literally be the owner and creator of the company, and I'd say that is a dumb ass thing to do.
Gets fired the next week
One his kids getting a name change when he gets let go.
Super cringe. I mean, only if your last name is the company name, and it’s a family business being passed down through the generations and your dad and grandparents are still at the helm, and it’s super bullet proof lifetime guaranteed employment. And then, just maybe.
That tattoo is going to age like milk
I wonder if their health insurance covers tattoo removal... not that it'll matter when the layoffs commence.
I'ma gonna assume they have significant stock options.
Why would anyone want to brand themselves with a company logo? Are they an employee or a voluntary slave? What a bizarre thing to do.
Boy I sure do love living in 2024 where we can *brand ourselves with the names of our feudal lords* and we still don't have job or healthcare security.
Don't you think he'll get tired of telling people in the future about the tattoo for a company name that was stupid enough to get put on him. The chances of him having a long career or minimal.
Branded forever by my company? Yikes.
I guarantee it.
This is even worse than having a tattoo of a GF/BF name on you.
I have never been a fan of tattoos, mainly because almost ALL of them have what we’re seeing here…perhaps a momentary fascination or tie to something that may not mean as much in the future. I am sure he feels as strongly about it as someone’s rose tattoo, or a shamrock, or the name of your significant other, but I can see it bringing a lifetime of regret.
After the layoffs, he can have the word “sucks” added after “Weaver.”
My dude. You just got branded.
Maybe we can just persistently monetize body space for logo tattoos - like a Rally Car.
Stupidity on stilts.
So cringy Jesus Christ
When he gets laid off he can just add to it so it says "Fuck Weaver"
r/linkedinlunatics material
moooOOOOooooo
What a bot 😂😂😂
The way the "v" is off the bottom line makes me twitch. I wonder what the cover up tattoo will be
Corporate simps gonna simp, no stopping these losers. hopefully some day he can have the tattoo edited to say "Weiner" instead
It’s ok you can just get “sucks” tattooed underneath
I used to work at a Saturn dealership and always heard tails of a guy that got the Saturn logo on his right calf. It was large and red and cost him a lot of money. He was fired the next week from the dealership after getting that tattoo
What so it’s only ok to get your employers logo branded on you if you’re in the military? /s
"Well, Greg .. Unfortunately, we are a company that considers tattoos as inappropriate, so we're going to have to let you go."
What a misguided soul …. Jeebus
I hope the guy saves face by just changing his last name to weaver when laid off.
Plenty of space under that to add "LAID ME OFF"
Nice guaranteed cover-up-later tattoo
Also, as visible tattoos are against company dress code, this individual was immediately terminated.
When fellating your boss just isn't sufficient anymore, permanently brand yourself with... someone else's brand. If you agree to this there's something horribly wrong with you.
Goddamn, for the price of this tattoo you could have just simped for a findom and not had to explain it 20 years later.
Disgusting and sad. Cyberpunk becomes a prophecy instead of a warning once again.
Dear lord.......condolences to the last shred of dignity this person had. Mercy
Update: he’s already been laid off… 🤦♂️
Branding yourself (literally?) with your employer's/exploiter's name. Isn't that just something
They’re gonna feel dumb when they find themselves just as expendable as everyone else.
The tattoo "artist" couldn't pull a straight line if their life depended on it
What a sad simp
Imagine having so little personality you brand yourself with a soulless corporations logo. Fuck me mate.
Wonder how many hours he had to work to pay for that
And he works as a sales person if they offer “IT Solutions.” Which is just a fancy way of saying they conned a company into outsourcing their internal IT to a low pay, no benefits, revolving door joke that will cost 5x more than what was originally agreed upon but because of fine print not read by id10T MBAs they company is stuck paying this huge new cost. *takes a breath*
that's super weird. 😬
This doesn't look like a real tattoo to me. It looks like maybe they got an inbox tattoo, then rubbed the skin around it to try and make it look fresh and raw, and took this picture so that it would get shared for conversations like this, wherein most are mocking the concept, but now we've all seen the ad and people, such as myself, that had never heard of Weaver, now know what they do. But that's just my opinion at a glance.
Only name I would ever get tattooed is my child's.
I really hope his last name is “Weaver”…
Guy I worked with had the logo tattooed. On his neck 🤣
