Tattoo Ad for 10 G's

A mother had her forehead tattooed with the web address of a gambling site after auctioning off advertising space on her head to pay for her son's school fees.
Karolyne Smith has to live with a permanent billboard on her forehead after she accepted Goldenpalace.com's offer of $10,000 for the 'advertising space'. She needed the money to send her son Brady to a private school.Karolyne said: ""I really want to do this. To everyone else, it seems like a stupid thing to do. To me, $10,000 is like a million dollars.""I only live once and I'm doing it for my son. It's a small sacrifice to build a better future for my son."Karolyne did not take the decision lightly. She discussed it for more than three weeks with her boyfriend Jeremy Williams.Smith's eBay auction attracted more than 27,000 hits and 1,000 watchers. Bidding reached $999.99 before Goldenpalace.com, an Internet gambling company met Smith's $10,000 asking price. Goldenpalace.com also gave her another $5,000 for her trouble.Another person, inspired by Karolyne is currently auctioning his forehead as ad space on e-bay.

What the Hell?

It could just be that I fail to see the 'art' in the this project. I can't exactly put into words how I feel about this project. I think this project has caught the UGLY BABY SYNDROME for sure. I still can't believe my eyes . . . Yet, I can't look away.

It gets worse, there are even links so you can create your own Tattoo Dream Doll! Yikes! OMFG!! Get this, the doll's name is Ms. Femme . . .

I'm going to hurl, then I'm going to the grocery store . . .

PI Day, Tattoo Day . . . What Next?

I was adding 'e-card' links earlier this afternoon when I stumbled upon e-cards at 123Greetings for 'Tattoo Day'. I've been an artist for seven years and this is the first time I've heard anything about this. I'm going to guess it's another day like Sweetest Day or something of that nature . . .

What a kick ass holiday that would be though . . . For some of us, it would probably be better than Christmas.

I also came across a link to 'PI Day' and the PI Day tattoo, which in 2007 was on March 7. Though I'm not going to include the link, I thought the piece was interesting . . .
