Steven Smith, the guy with two Zune Tattoos said in an interview on ShoutMouth earlier today he is going to get a third one, we already knew that, but that he is going to get a fourth one is something new! ...
As Steven said he is going to get as a third tattoo across his back the moto "welcome to the social" and as fourth the robot from the Zune-Arts.net promotional video (photo at right). As a comment I could say Steven handles very good the tough questions NeutralMilk asks:
From the ShoutMouth interview:

Let's cut the bullshit -- How much is Microsoft paying you?
Microsoft is not paying me, they had no prior knowledge I was even doing this until after the fact. The trip to Redmond, WA was offered after the fact and so was the Zune care package that zuneinsider.com sent me.
Did you expect anything from Microsoft when you got your tattoos?
Other than a hat and some art no not really. Cesar from zuneinsider.com said he would send me the much talked about care package if I went through with it, when I originally posted my plans of getting the tattoo 2 months ago.

Would you recommend getting a tattoo to acquire free stuff? For instance, should I get a tattoo of a Nintendo Wii? I really want one of those.
I would not recommend getting a tattoo just to get free stuff. I would only suggest the tattoo if you can look at it in 30 yrs and have a cool story about it.
Do you think the Zune is going to survive as long as your tattoos?
Yes, look at Xbox and Sony. The original Xbox didn't look like it had a chance against the PS2 but the 360 is now crushing the PS3. I feel the iPhone is financially going to hurt Apple and if the 6th Generation iPod is all touch screen and more expensive than the Zune 2.0 it could flip the table.
In a few days Steven will be in Redmond to meat the Zune team ang give an interview to Channel 10 website.
