Tobacco tycoon Travers ‘Candyman’ Beynon has been slammed in recent weeks as more and more of his ‘girlfriends’ begin to sport tattoos of his company logo.
Many said the FreeChoice branding gave the impression he ‘owned’ the women, but rather than apologise, The Candyman has chosen to continue his new method of advertising.
The latest addition to his group of girlfriends, 21-year-old Krystal Kime, was seen at a tattoo parlour on the Gold Coast on Tuesday having her buttock coloured in with the thick lettering.
Ms Kime and Mr Beynon were joined at the parlour on Broadbeach by the Candyman’s wife Taesha and other girlfriend Nisha, who watched on as the pair shared a kiss before Ms Kime’s appointment.
Krystal Kime, 21, leaned in for a kiss with new ‘boyfriend’ Travers Beynon before having the logo of his tobacconist empire permanently tattooed on her, as his wife Taesha and other girlfriend Nisha watched on

Mr Beynon was seen holding Ms Kime’s hand as she went through the process. She appeared happy with the result as she lowered her pants after her appointment finished for the 45-year-old to take a photo
Ms Kime flashed a smile at her boyfriend as a tattoo artist began working on the design, appearing unperturbed by the sharp needles.
The pair held hands throughout the process, as Beynon’s wife and other girlfriend sat in close with the 21-year-old.
When the process was complete, the tobacco entrepreneur was seen filming and taking photographs of Ms Kime’s newly branded buttock.
Krystal, who appeared to join the mansion in October last year, was seen cuddling up to Mr Beynon ahead of her appointment at the Gold Coast Parlour

Sharing the video to Instagram late on Tuesday night, he remarked: ‘business is business’.
Almost immediately afterwards, Mr Beynon shared a photograph of three dark-haired women wearing nothing but g-strings, all with the FreeChoice logo tattooed on their right buttock.
‘Mixing business with pleasure,’ he cheekily captioned the image.
In a bizarre display of marketing ingenuity, the Candyman hosted a competition in 2016 which gifted the first 40 people to sport the tattoo free flights to Australia to attend one of his wild parties.

Dozens of Candyman super-fans were quick to accept Beynon’s challenge, which asked participants to tattoo his 1.3cmx6.5cm Free Choice trademark anywhere on their body.
Men and women from as far as Spain and Sweden happily inked their bodies with the Candyman’s tobacco logo and were flown to Brisbane with a ticket to his infamous Candy Shop Mansion Party.
One man, from Ludhiana, India, even uploaded a video tattooing himself with the ludicrous company logo in a desperate bid to win the competition.
It is unclear if Beynon was able to find a his complete list of 40 people – 30 women and 10 men – to permanently bear his company logo on their bodies.

He says he shares his bed with at least four women every night, including his wife Taesha Beynon, who he met at the first Candy Shop party in 2009
Beynon was heavily criticised after sharing the photograph next to two of his naked girlfriends who sported the tattoos on their backsides.
The photo was met with mixed criticism, with many pointing out it creates the image Beynon ‘owns’ the women.
‘Have a go at the f***ing free Choice tattoos’ one person commented.
‘This guys just so weird, he made these girls get a tattoo of his company Freechoice like he own these girls,’ another said.
But Beynon responded to his onslaught of critics by simply sharing a photograph to Instagram of himself smiling with the caption: ‘When they criticise me, I be like… #FREECHOICE.’

Candyman has forged a highly-publicised and colourful image of himself on the back of his famous mansion parties, luxury cars and playboy lifestyle.
He says he shares his bed with at least four women every night, including his wife Taesha Beynon, who he met at the first Candy Shop party in 2009.
‘When you’ve got one girl, that’s one thing. When there’s multiple, there’s so much going on in my mind,’ he told Ocean Road magazine.
‘In bed, there’s four girls as an average. I often don’t get much sleep… I think I come up with a new position every week.
‘Bedroom time isn’t for me; it’s to stimulate the girls. To be good in bed it’s not about you.’
He has posted several other images online of his girlfriends with the same tattoos, even captioning images with ‘#FREECHOICEtattoo’
