Tattoo Projects Rocks KROQ

For those about to rock a new logo, we salute you. L.A.-based legendary rock station KROQ enlisted Tattoo Projects for a logo redesign. Perfect for us, as it’s a mainstay station in rental cars while we’re on production on the west coast. We’re in the ring with a couple other shops, don’t know who. However fierce the competition becomes, we’re having a blast working on the designs. Come on– guitars? Rock n’roll? Design? All right up our alley. Hopefully, this job will clear the burned-in Reservoir Dogs/KROQ connection from my head. Guy strapped to a chair, getting his ear cut off. KROQ dj in the background, “Stuck in the Middle with You” provides the soundtrack. We’re thinking of a more creative branding approach…..

Pokemon Redux.

Finding Tattoo

Being found among the zillions of sites on the web is an art. Everyone knows that. What we want to know how this garnered 21,384,628 views. Along with having great bouncin’ and behavin’ Dorothy Hamill hair, these guys are search engine geniuses. Personally, Tattoo Projects liked their Power Rangers rendition better than Pokemon. But that’s just us. We’re checking out SEO Book, we’ll let you know if it rocks or not. Or, you could just wait a couple weeks, and type in killer creative marketing and advertising and see us come up at the top of the list. We’ll keep you posted.

Hallelujah?¢‚Ǩ‚ÄùFinally, There?¢‚Ǩ‚Ñ¢s Abalooba!

Tattoo Projects Launches New Email Address Search Engine

CHARLOTTE, NC (March 16, 2007) ?¢‚Ǩ‚Äú Ever wonder why there is no single, comprehensive, searchable database for email addresses? Creative content development company, Tattoo Projects, felt it was time to make email addresses easier to find. So Abalooba.com, a free email search engine, was born.

Abalooba.com is a simple application, and an incredibly easy-to-use search engine. The site allows users to register their email addresses through a protected server. Users need only to provide the email address they want to be contacted at, plus their name, city, and verification code. The result is nothing short of extraordinary: type in a name, and instantly get that person?¢‚Ǩ‚Ñ¢s email address. No googling, no searching, no guessing.

Rudy Banny and Buffy McCoy Kelly, Tattoo Projects owners and creators of Abalooba.com, say they created the site for themselves. ?¢‚Ǩ?ìWe got tired of having to dig around for email addresses,?¢‚Ǩ? Banny said. ?¢‚Ǩ?ìOur idea was to create a single, comprehensive hub for peoples?¢‚Ǩ‚Ñ¢ electronic contact information?¢‚Ǩ‚Äùif they want to be found, of course.?¢‚Ǩ?
?¢‚Ǩ?ìIt?¢‚Ǩ‚Ñ¢s like the phonebook for email addresses,?¢‚Ǩ? said McCoy-Kelly. ?¢‚Ǩ?ìIt?¢‚Ǩ‚Ñ¢s an icon of being part of a community, of allowing people to communicate with you by phone. Abalooba.com is exactly the same. It?¢‚Ǩ‚Ñ¢s an easy, spam-free, cost-free way for people to find who they?¢‚Ǩ‚Ñ¢re looking for online.?¢‚Ǩ?

Programming for the Abalooba.com application was handled by Glenn and Heather Field of Tampa-based mobile technology company, MobiXperience.

While there are several email search engines available, Abalooba.com is the first free, opt-in email database that allows consumers to participate without being forced to create a user account with personal information like addresses and phone numbers. Just like the tried-and-true phonebook, Abalooba.com does not require a username and password to be accessed, and is open to any person or business who would like to be found online. Abalooba.com is spam-protected, and addresses are not compiled or distributed in any way.

Upon completion of the beta phase, Abalooba.com is slated to offer a desktop widget, as well as mobile search capabilities.
