Frank Schilling’s first fresh top level domain name is live

You can now visit a .tattoo domain name.

Frank Schilling’s .tattoo is alive with nic.tattoo.

Yes, that’s a domain name. And it’s now on the internet.

It’s the first second level domain of Schilling’s TLD bids that you can actually visit from your browser.

Included on the site, which is a pitch “artists, studios, and individuals” regarding the future availability of .tattoo domain names, is a video of Frank Schilling philosophizing regarding tattoos. If he does a video for his .sexy domain name, I hope he takes a slightly different tact. I can imagine a great parody video.

[Update: nic.sexy is now up too, and thankfully there’s no Schilling video regarding sexiness on the site.]

The video includes examples of domain names you might register, ranging from warrior.tattoo to maria.tattoo to alex.tattoo. (None of the suggested domains are on the name collision block list. I checked.)
