"Indiana man tattoos Romney logo on his face"

"Pro wrestler Eric Hartsburg auctioned off a part of his face on eBay to the second highest bidder.

The prize? A tattoo of the Romney/Ryan logo.

Hartsburg told ABC News, “I am a registered Republican and a Romney supporter. I didn’t mind getting this tattoo because it is something that I could live with and it’s something that I believe in.”

He further said that his tattoo also serves an educational purpose: to let young people know that they didn’t have to be “rich or elderly” to be a Republican.

Hartsburg said that his tat hasn’t been well-received: people believe that he’s a “boogeyman” or generally said “F*** you.”

The donor, a Republican who asked to remain unidentified, paid $15,000 for Hartsburg to tat up his face. Hartsburg refused the highest bidder, he told ABC News, because the tat suggestion was “lewd.”

Would Hartsburg consider an Obama/Biden tattoo? “Definitely not,” he stated to ABC News."

Lookin' good.

"He further said that his tattoo also serves an educational purpose: to let young people know that they didn’t have to be “rich or elderly” to be a Republican."

You don't have to be smart either...

He could have made the same statement by buying a tee-shirt with the logo instead.

That kind of "advertising" is certainly worth more thank $15K

Not in this economy.

It's not worth it in any economy.

Anyway, I have to disagree with the OP. It's not the worst ever. I knew a guy with "FUCK YOU" tattooed on his right cheek. One of his friends, an amateur tattooist, told him he could get rid of it using lemon juice instead of ink and overwriting it. After a month, they had removed the last "F" but the tattooist friend was arrested and jailed for drugs. Now he has "FUCK OF" instead. I know there are worse.

Jesus! Where does someone like that work? What kind of job is ok with that sort of thing?

Welding. A job that requires a mask.
