Some people get tattoos to remember something or someone significant in their life, others do it just for something different to do on a whim one day. In this latest video of Zappos employees and their tattoos', several more employees show off their tattoos, and tell some of their stories behind them.

Having a fun and creative culture like we have at Zappos, employees are allowed to show off their individual personalities. Many of the employees show off their personalities through tattoos. There are a lot of amazing tattoos here at Zappos, and Leilani's are at the top of the list.

With her Pantera and Evil Dead Trilogy tats, Leilani has won multiple awards and has been featured in a few magazines! In this latest edition of Tattoo You, Leilani shows off her work and tells us some of the stories behind her ink.

Tattoo Time at Zappos!

So, it's time once again to highlight some of our employee and their tattoos. With Zappos being such an open, employee friendly company, our employees have the freedom to show off their own unique personalities - and many of them show it off through their tattoos.

Some people just have one that they got on that one crazy night out with friends, and others, like Bill, have many years of tattoos across their body. But no matter how many they have, there are always stories behind them.

Many Zapponians have one if not several tattoos, and since we're a company that allows our employees to show their sleeves proudly, we're going around the office inviting our coworkers to share their body art with us. And as everyone knows, where there's a tattoo, there's a story behind it and today Stephanie, Heather and Lyle are highlighting their favorite tattoos (or the tattoos that they can show) and giving us the stories that go along with 'em.

Tattoos? Any? None? 23 of them? Some people have that desire to get ink done, and Zappos has no shortage of inked up employees! We sent out a company-wide email asking who would like to tell the stories of their tattoos, and we had an overwhelming response!

Here is Matt W.'s take on Zappos Tattoos!

"The Interview" featuring Customer Loyalty

3 comments
Feb 24, 2009 by William B.


Welcome to the all new Customer Loyalty “The Interview”. In an effort to showcase our wonderful Zapponians up here in Customer Loyalty, we will be posting a weekly blog interviewing a new person from CLT. The Interviews will be chosen randomly, and the questions will also be random, generated from a list of 100 questions that are both Zappos and non-Zappos related. This will give us all a good all around peak into the lives of our fantastic CLT team members.

For our first installment of “The Interview” our very own Alicia Lo Chirco was chosen. Alicia has been in CLT since January of 2007, so she is a grizzled veteran (don't tell her I called her grizzled). Alicia has been a shade of scallywag and a bit of landlubber at the Resource Desk for the better part of the past year. We love Alicia.

1. Boxers or briefs?
Ummm . . . boxer briefs?

2. What do you do when you lose your passion for something?
If it's like a hobbie, I just stop doing it for a while and usually after some time I will get back into it.

3. Who are your heroes?
My grandma. She is amazing, patient, sweet, and an amazing cook. All the things I aspire to be.

4. What is your favorite piece of clothing?
My new dress. I love it because I bought it while shopping with Jamie N. from HR. I never shop and somehow she managed to convince me to go and I actually had fun, lol!

5. What is your biggest success and why?
My Zappos career is so far my biggest success. I feel challenged every day and because of that I never get bored, which is awesome.

6. Do you have any phobias?
Oh. . . this is a fun list. I am afraid of penguins, heights, falling, driving at night...etc...etc.

7. Do you believe in aliens? Why or why not?
Of course. It would be pretty conceited to think we are the only ones out there.

8. Do you always smile for pictures?
No.. I try to look very metal in pictures. It usually doesn't work. lol.

9. Ranch or blue cheese?
Ranch. Blue cheese smells of feet.

10. If I looked into your refrigerator, what would I find?
Right now, lots and lots of beer (it was just my boyfriend's 21st birthday). There is also some leftovers, eggs, cheese, milk, water, mixers (cranberry juice, cola), and lots of condiments.

11. What was the last book you read?
Last book I finished was Breaking Dawn (the last Twilight book). Right now I am reading A Collection of Demons (and other mythical creatures).

12. Do you think the human race will make it another 200 years?
Eh . . . it's hard to say. Hopefully we will start treating our environment better and stop taking so much for granted. Then, maybe it's possible.

13. If you were approached to come up with a new benefit for Zappos and cost was not a factor, what benefit would you like to see us have?
Discount tattoos...for sure.

14. If you were given the chance to travel to any place and time in the past / present / future when and where would you go and why?
I would probably go back to ancient Rome. I'd want to see the art and sport. What a beautiful time it must have been.

15. Do you miss anyone right now?
I always miss my babes!

Thanks for hanging with us on this inaugural installment of “The Interview”. Visit us again next week for another interview with one of our Customer Loyalty Zapponians!

In the Mouth of (Abby's) Madness

0 comments
Nov 11, 2008 by Melissa L.

The other day at the Rdesk Jeff found a box full of good ole' Halloween goodies. Fortunately for the growing needs of our own personal amusement, Jeff found some temporary tattoos to satiate Abby N.'s hunger for “cool, new things”. You see, Abby really loves “cool, new things”. She also loves “shiny, new things” – I think you get the idea. The debate surrounding Abby's tastes has continued for years, nay centuries, nay millennia, nay – forever.

I'm sorry, I allowed myself to be sidetracked. You see, when I ponder Abby my mind goes fuzzy and my reality seems to swirl into the never-ending sinkhole of my sub par comprehension for the way Abby works. I love Abby. She is my Michael McDonald. She forced my love for him, my love for her. So, let me return from this ridiculous, yet oddly enlightening tangent that I find myself on, and deliver to you my original message, which was to display for you Abby's “sleeve” of temporary tattoos.

Zappos behold! And now, from Abby herself, as she tries to give an explanation for this madness:

“SO...We were looking through the goody bag for the Halloween treats and noticed a lot of unused temporary tattoos. First, Alicia said I should make a sleeve of temporary tattoos to achieve a life long goal of mine to become Rob Reynolds. Jeff over heard and he decided to make a fun dollar challenge to make the temporary tattoo sleeve on my left arm. I used my apprentice Nick B. to assist me in the applying of the tattoos. When Nick had to leave at 5:00pm, I asked for the help of Alicia, Steve T. and Eric L., all of whom assisted me brilliantly. When we were applying the tattoos, a thought ran through my mind saying, "why?" Then I remembered, " O yeah, I can be Rob." It was very sticky and a whole lot of fun. Now my arm feels like it has eczema. Brilliant! Now, all I need is a head rag and severe ROCKER skills to achieve my goal of being Rob Reynolds.”

Abby, we love you. Salute!
