Partygoers see red over tattoo stunt

The phones were red hot at VNU New Media last Friday with calls from concerned advertisers and marketers who found they had acquired rather more than they’d bargained for at a party held by the publisher the night before.

The bash, at Legends nightclub, was to celebrate the first birthday of jobworld.co.uk, VNU’s IT finance and business recruitment Website.

As the tequila flowed, guests agreed to have temporary tattoos of the Website’s address and logo applied to foreheads, buttocks and breasts.

However, the following morning, the tattoos proved rather more permanent, leaving many a red face and sorely scrubbed bottom.
