She claimed to have done it to fund her child's education.

Brand Name Tattoos: To each his own.

After reading on B.Y.O.B. about Tanya Paulin and her Anderson Cooper tattoo (above), I couldn't help but wonder about the popularity of tattoos of brand name images and logos.

I couldn't find any real data (I must admit, I wasn't exactly consumed with interest so the search wasn't a particularly long one), but I did learn that the Harley Davidson logo is likely the most popular brand name tattoo with sports logo tattoos a fairly close second.

On MSNBC, I found this tattooed Ralph Lauren Polo fan. I can't help but wonder how many trips to the keg preceded his trip to the tattoo parlor.
