The Tattoo Test: Can Nate Build a Brand Worth Bleeding For?

Brain Driven Brands
In this episode, we’re putting cohost Nate on trial—brand trial, that is. Sarah, Nate, and Tether Insight’s new AI research intern, DEX play The Tattoo Test, a brutal brand-building game show where each level challenges Nate to prove his brand is worthy of obsession, devotion... and maybe even a little ink.
Guided by Sarah and judged (mercilessly) by Dex—our British, sarcasm-laced AI intern—Nate must face:
Level 1: Pick a fight (a real one)
Level 2: Design a ritual, not a funnel
Level 3: Write a tattoo-worthy tagline
Level 4: Turn product into identity
Level 5: Face the final boss: Would anyone actually tattoo this brand?
It’s fast. It’s fun. It’s uncomfortably honest. And it just might help you build the kind of brand that commands cult-leader status.
