My Right Arm
You know the expression "I'd give my right arm for..." - Well, I am giving My Right Arm in the form of tattoo space to live without money. I've got a total of 25 spaces to fill.
These are my tattoos and trades so far:
1
The Fairy Godmother
The Fairy Godmother tattoo got me four one day dream mapping and goal setting workshops, one of which i used myself plus a 3 month online training program called growing wings!
2
Consciousness Coaching
The Consciousness Coaching tattoo got me five of their personal development and transformation workshops!
5
iso100
The iso100 tattoo was supposed to get me a camera, but unfortunately this company was not able to survive the recession long enough to complete the trade... Stupid Fiat Economy!
Yes, I am trading tattoos on my arm with cool business who realise that it is important to find new, sustainable and meaningful ways of doing business outside of the fiat money system.
Although this idea may be little extreme for some, it's actually quite simple and the concept can be applied in many other ways. In exchange for marketing space, in this case - branding on my arm, businesses agree to compensate me with their product or service. In this way I am able to get the things that I need to live and run my project without using money. By documenting the experience through social media platforms like Facebook, Twitter and here on my website, the brands will get exposure in a very unique, out of the box marketing & advertising campaign.
It goes one step further too. Each brand has been invited to participate in cashless commission. What that means is that I will be encouraging my friends, colleagues and fans, who still use fiat money to buy from the brands on my arm. Instead of being paid money for the business that this leads to, I will 'earn' additional products and services which I can either use myself or trade on. I see this concept as a hybrid-economy bridge to an economy that allows people and businesses to use money when necessary but also to include systems like the Community Exchange System.
