Kat Von D + Dunlop Tires

Let the endorsement train get rolling! It looks like Kat is putting her weight behind Dunlop Tire by appearing at the SEMAtires.jpg Show in Las Vegas next week.

katvd.jpgKat Von D, star of L.A. Ink, a spinoff of the Miami Ink TLC show, appears Wednesday, Oct. 31, at 11 a.m. in the Dunlop booth (#41427) to announce the tire brand’s “Maxxed Out Awards” and the opportunity to win a unique Kat Von D-designed tattoo. She will sign autographs from 1-3 p.m.

Gary Medalis, general manager for Dunlop Tires, said Von D’s appearance in the Dunlop booth takes the brand’s efforts to a new level. “While we’ve successfully promoted our brand with tattoos at SEMA the past two years, we feel Kat Von D will drive excitement around Dunlop tattoos to an even higher level.”

More than 50 true Dunlop devotees have received tattoos ranging from “Flying-D” logos to stylized tread patterns. Hundreds more were put on waiting lists.

Dunlop will once again be tattooing SEMA attendees in the Dunlop booth. They can start registering for a free Dunlop tattoo on Tuesday, Oct. 30, at 9 a.m. in the Dunlop booth. Las Vegas tattoo artists Antonio Martinez and Justin McCroy will be available.

Um, wow. Just wow. I guess I never put the tire and tatt thing together the way some of these Dunlop folks do. Maybe Kat will oblige one of the higher ups in the company and allow him to ink a Dunlop “flying D” on her yearbook leg…..
