For $10,000, Woman Tattoos Ad on Forehead

SALT LAKE CITY (AP) - For $10,000, Kari Smith has gone ahead and had her forehead tattooed with the Web address of a gambling site. Bountiful, 30, who sold her unusual advertising space on eBay, said the money will give her 11-year-old son a private education, which she believes he needs after falling behind in school. "For the all the sacrifices everyone makes, this is a very small one," she said. "It's a small sacrifice to build a better future for my son," she said. "To everyone else, it seems like a stupid thing to do.

To me, $10,000 is like $1 million. I only live once, and I'm doing it for my son," she said. Tattoo artist Don Brouse said he and his staff spent nearly seven hours Wednesday trying to talk Smith out of putting "GoldenPalace.com" above her face. When he did go through with it, he kept the inch-tall letters close to her hairline, where bangs or a hat could provide some cover.

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 in the Mohawk Territory of Kahnawake, Canada, met Smith's $10,000 asking price.




suppose you have to do what you have to do sometimes

There is a pic of her on this site: http://sltrib.com/business/ci_2831928 :unsure:

What goes through the minds of people like this :o



Well at least she went through with it, not like they guy that Nickatilynx bid on then backed after the auction ended...

Thanks Rolo... there was no pic on the site I got that from

Isn't it a small needle loaded with ink?

For 10,000$ I would do 6,000$ worth of work.

It's a shame that's the only thing ever to have gone through her mind :blink:

Definitely not the brightest crayon in the box. :(

Sorry to be judgemental, but she looks like she might've done it for cheaper. I think Golden Palace got screwed on this one.

:biglaugh:

i agree. a nice trailer could have done the trick. hell maybe a used pick up truck.

$10,000 to send her 11 year old kid to private school.... $100,000 for therapy by the time he is 18 because his mom is retarded.

She would have asked the tat artist to use ink that faded after a week or two :)
