The Ultimate Sign of Success

What is the ultimate sign of success? An expensive sport car? A big house? A mega yacht? A Black Amex? How about a sports team? According the Neil Patel (who already has a Black Amex), the ultimate sign of success is when a hot chick tattoos your name on her body.

I’m not exactly sure what Pamela Lund was thinking when she tattooed Neil’s name across her lower back. Maybe she has a huge crush on Neil and wants to have his baby. Maybe it was to make an old boyfriend super jealous. My guess is she is trying to get Neil’s attention so he could do some consulting for her company that sells USB memory sticks.

Neil Patel Tattoo

Whatever the reason, Neil is taking it as the ultimate sign that he has made it. This is in stalk contrast to how Shoemoney took things when a guy tattooed Shoe to his arm. Shoe was more creep out than anything.

I get it now. If a girl tattoo your name onto her back, it’s the ultimate sign of success. If a guy tattoo your name onto his arm, run and hide! :twisted:

shoemoney tattoo is looking good.

The ultimate sign of success is when you have achiever peace in your hart, with yourself!

Even if it's fake, it got me to look!

They do now make custom temporary tattoos, although the tattoo that is swollen definitely has to be real...

That's a great tattoo. I also want to have one.

Its true Neil, you really made and now you have proof :) I am going to try hard and make down to pubcon this year.

Wow that's a great idea can i have tatooed John Chow on my back that would be so cool

He if it works for Shoe then I'm sure it would work for JC, how bout it John lets get a couple readers lined up and get some video!

Cool tatoo...can I kiss it?

Tattoo > Cool.

ShoeMoney > Scary.

Nothing says that your blog rocks like a tattoo, now that's dedication!

Looks totally fake. Looks like it was stenciled on.

That must be dedication. Tattoos are for life! I usually make sure its something I dont mind showing. Ahaha Good thing for Neil. Free advertising! :P

LOL! great post! "I get it now. If a girl tattoo your name onto her back, it’s the ultimate sign of success. If a guy tattoo your name onto his arm, run and hide!"

This is to let everyone know you've done your job! LOL!

Not sure if your Blog will let me post the link....

Oh, by the way, it's real....

Some may wear a ring to show their devotion, some may shave their head, some cultures even place a bamboo stick through their noses...

My wife of 16 years decided since the "store was closed", she wanted a tattoo.

Not creepy, not crazy (in her mind anyway)

I thought she was nuts when she told me she did it... Maybe it wasn't so nutty after all, I see and feel her devotion daily.

Seriously, who in their right mind does this? I wouldn't be at all surprised if this was fake. The shoe money one, however, looks very real. haha

I'm still waiting for when it's my turn to see someone with my name tattooed on her back!

Congrats Neil. Now you must get a tattoo with some random hot chicks name.

I saw the tattoo and my arm start feeling hurt! No tattoo for me please...!

If a girl tattoo your name onto her back, it’s the ultimate sign of success. If a guy tattoo your name onto his arm, run and hide! :twisted: ...
ha ha, ha that was a funny statement!

I think people like that have some issues...

Are you going to write John Chow Dot Com on it?

wish i can get a tattoe....

lol its kinda sick to hear that guy tatoo-ed shoemoney on his arm. Yeah i would probably run!

Isn't the ultimate sign of success something very different to a tasteless tattoo? Or even a tasteful one, for that matter. For example, I'd suggest that a very wealthy man or woman who:
- rebuffs all attempts at an interview with the media, but writes anonymously to help others achieve his/her success levels
- anonymously donates significant sums to charities
- regards education (academic and through life) as a virtue
- gives values of hard AND smart work to his/her children
- remains courteous even in the most exasperating of circumstances
- treats everyone with respect
......is the ultimate success story

I hope in a few years in the future, a girl will tattoo her self with my name. :)

I think she wants to have his baby?

That's ridiculous. I have nothing against Shoe or Neil. Both are cool guys, but the people getting these tattoos are not too bright.

it a success? your name on somebody "a**".. :D
guess should tattoo whole url - johnchow.com and then put below click me.. haha

The Ultimate Sign of Success for me would be to emulate John Chow...Do I get points for that?

John,

That is awesome! People are taking this blogging thing to a whole new level. I almost can't believe it. You think anyone is going to tattoo you to their body someday? Then you will be successful. Right?

Sincerely,
Jeremy

Pretty good stuff John, thanks for the share.

Well, if she is hot, as long as you can bang her for free, that's success ;) !

It would be cooler if she were hot.

the shoemoney tat creepy? maybe a little. a sign that Darren has created a strong branding presnce and has a loyal reader base? lol definately. i give him props for creating what he has

wth at the guy tattooing shoe on his arm
smh

That is really odd no matter which way you slice it.

That Shoemoney tat looks very fresh and swollen. A little strange, but at least the artist did a good job.

I would do it too, for some back links

Love the tatoo especially the one Shoe Money.. Hahah I like the article.

You couldn’t be more right about that! Lol poor Shoe

For shoe that's creepy....like creepy run away very fast. Funny though!!!

WOW. That's UBER creepy. I hope those are FAKE!

I know this is going to sound materialistic as crap, but success is ranked upon status. See, status is more important than actual dollar amounts. Have you ever seen the millionaire guy who's 50 years old and never been married or had kids? This is what is considered in my book as a failure. Not that he is a loser or anything, but REAL success in life should be valued on how you have linked and connected with people in your lifetime. Now here is the irony of it all.....

Most people become successful (by connecting with others) by having a lot of money. Just think about it, if you had the money to go on expensive trips to meet new people, and treat your friends out to lunch, then you will have a better opportunity of connecting with people. Maybe I'm being too deep, but in the end- success is ranked on social status in my opinion :)

Neil better have at least got to make out with her after that.

HAHA that is the most ridiculous thing I have ever seen in my life!!!

What is wrong with people. I mean I am all about getting a tattoo if it symbolizes something to you, but a tattoo as a publicity stunt? I mean you are going to have that for the rest of your life.

Thats awesome! lol, I love the shoe tattoo.

For me the ultimate sign of success is when I am satisfied with what I have and right now I don't have any goals set. I have already achieved my goals 3 times in past 2 years and have raised the bar higher and higher. Life will go on and the bar will keep going higher.

A tattoo or "tramp stamp" on the lower back of a female can only mean one thing --- she's easy. Yeah, I said it. So what?!
