Tatooing as a form of advertisement

A while back I remember reading about a guy that was selling space on his body on e-bay. I want to say he received a few offers for it. But when or where does advertisement draw the line? Will they stop when they have us tatooing babies. Well that might be a little bit extreme but I am sure there is some sick and twisted person out there just hatching up that idea. And if they are reading this well they just got the idea.

Man its a messed up world that we live in these days

tatooing as a form of advertisement let me know what you think

mmmmmm........

depends you know,
how serious is the tattoo anyway,
a small one, a big one,

what areas?
normal spots, sensitive spots?

the money?
worth it? peanuts?

all these take into accounts to sort of determine whether it was worthwhile or not I guess, but the baby tattooing, ok that's a bit over the limit,

but hey, we live in a free world too,
other things maybe I'll agree, but tattooing for advertisements, might not be so bad after all, if they tattoo a whole poster on my body, probably not, but if it's just a small logo, they pay good money, and I personally feel ok with the brand, y not?

I've heard of that too. The story I remember is a mom who advertised space on the back of her shaved head for six months. At the end of the six months she just grew her hair back. Plus if the company ever wants to pay her more money she can just shave it again. I think she got ten thousand for the six months, but I don't remember what company bought space from her.

That woman, I think it was the Golden Palace Casino site? Or no, that was some other woman, she got it on her forehead. I think it's pretty stupid, personally.

Was it on her forehead? That is a pretty bad decision-even if she was getting paid for it. I mean that's going to be on her forehead for the rest of her life.

If it were me I'd advertise with those press on tattoos or get one of those ink tattoos that fades in a few weeks.
