They didn’t say they weren’t going to interview untattooed people.
It’s a lame stunt but this is just looking for something to get upset over.
I would do it if the company was one I was excited about.
I’m 45-ish and got my first tattoo this year. It’s a big eagle holding a bagel on my forearm. The coffee shop (their name is also on the tattoo) I go to said they’d give me free cold brew for life if I got it.

Never would I ever do something like that. Doesn't matter if I feel excited about a company, I'm not turning my body into a walking advertisement. Different (brush) strokes for different folks I guess.
Even though anatomically it doesn't really work out that way, when I was a kid I always wanted to get a tattoo of a plant along my calf so that it would look like the plant was growing as I got taller over the years.
There's also studies that show that there might be a potential statistical association between tattoo ink and increased certain types of cancer like lymphoma, which should come as a surprise to no one. Shocker, subepidermally injected pigments may not be good for you.
How many cups of cold brew until the 'break even' point for the cost of the tattoo? or did the coffee shop provide the artist and ink? im just curious about the economics of permanent advertising space. how many years has the shop been open? i ask because the failure rate for coffee shops etc is heavily weighted in the first decade of being open, so 'for life' might be a stretch.
Tattoo was $375-ish (I paid) and cold brew is $5.50. I kind of saw it as a hedge against inflation as well. Figured they’d be $7 before too long.
I got the tattoo done by the artist who designed it (the shop puts up a lot of local art). She thought it was funny and was excited to do it. I think it looks sick.
My average ticket has actually gone up because they started selling house-made bagel chips and I tip pretty generously. So it’s more been a fun thing than a money saver.
This place has been open for ~10 years and I’ve been going regularly since 2020-ish. My total spend there since start of 2020 is $11,700.
And my girlfriend has been threatening to tell the owner to take cold brew off the menu if I don’t keep up with my household chores. I didn’t see that one coming.
i see. more 'i got a tattoo of my favorite coffee hang out because i thought it looked cool' and they got you to use the cold brew as a hook to spend more. and it cost them nothing for the walking Ad. naruhodo..."i see"
I would absolutely never hire someone that impulsive and/or gullible.
Questionable behavior from YC companies is nothing new.

How is an adult consenting to getting a tattoo legal? Is that your question? The rest is filler.
