A short YouTube clip (creator: Matthew Kelly) in which the speaker describes a business idea they never pursued: selling realistic temporary (fake) tattoos. The speaker praises the concept (mentions Inkbox as a scaled example), highlights strong unit economics (low manufacturing/postage costs, high margins), and notes the appeal of trialability and transient identity change.
What's your favorite business idea that you've never acted on? If you want. I had an idea of doing fake tattoos years and years, years ago, before I knew about Inkbox. I think that's a fucking great idea. And that's the only brand I've seen in the world that has properly scaled that. I don't know how big they are, but it's got to be multi nine figures in revenue. Like, it's crazy because it's such a good idea. I would never get a tattoo, but the fact I can have it for two weeks and look like a different person and also trial a tattoo economically, that business must be so nice. Like your postage is. Everything must be letters. Small letter here, small letter. Everything must be so cheap to manufacture. So che, 95% margin. Basically just print and paper.
