Labor markets in everything

 A New York City real estate company made the offer and dozens of employees are getting inked.


As CBS 2′s Emily Smith reported Tuesday, a tattoo can be a way to show off your personality. For Rapid Realty employees, it is the fast track to a 15 percent pay raise if you get inked with the company logo.


There are no size or location restrictions. Brooke Koropatnick got hers behind the ear.


The story is here, and for the pointer I thank Mark Thorson.  By the way, there is this too:


The credit doesn’t go to Rapid Realty owner Anthony Lolli. He said he got the idea from a loyal employee who wasn’t doing it for money.


“He calls me up, he says ‘Hey Anthony, I’m getting the logo on me.’ I show up at the shop and I’m like ‘this is cool, how can I repay you?’” Lolli said.
