Mario Barth Markets To Celebs, Tattoos Jim Jones At AOL Style Studio
Jim Jones and Mario Barth at AOL Style Studio
Major tattoo artist Mario Barth held court at AOL Music's Style Studio as part of the MTV VMA festivities.
Barth covered a lot of celebrity related marketing bases with his participation in this upscale invitation-only event including tattooing Jim Jones and introducing the Elite Diamond Club Card:
The cards, which have nearly two carats of diamonds encrusted on them, allow the bearer to be flown by private jet or first class, to Barth's location within 48 hours for a private ink session free of charge.

Since Barth is said to have a year and a half waiting list, the Club Cards are an excellent way to give celebrities special treatment and to expand his own rep while marketing his multiple tattoo studios where you can get a Starlight Tattoo even if you can't afford Mario Barth himself.
In addition, Barth used the opportunity to get celebrities to sign a "custom-made leather embroidered chair that Barth will auction off for CureSearch, Childhood Cancer Foundation", thus working some positive energy into his marketing while giving him a future event to publicize.
There's also supposed to be coverage of Barth at AOL Music but I couldn't find it. I'm not how useful that would be for Mario Barth and I'm not really sure what all this does for AOL Music but Barth obviously knows how to work an event.

Starlight Tattoo also has a gang tattoo removal program in which community service is traded for tattoo removal treatments.
