Forehead Tattoo - Woman Paid to tattoo her head

Would you get tattooed for money?

That is the question that crossed my mind when I saw the tattoo of a website address on Kari Smiths forehead. I am sorry, but there is not enough money for me to add a tattoo to my forehead!

I love ink and think it is beautiful, but a tattoo on my face would never happen! Especially for $10,000. I am sorry, but I would never alter my body for someone else for a petty 10K.

Smith held an auction on eBay for advertising space on her body to give her 1-year-old son a private education. Goldenpalace.com, an Internet gambling company, spent $10,000 to have their website address tattooed on Smiths forehead.

“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.

What do you think? If someone offered you $10,000 to tattoo a website url on your forhead would you do it? If so, why?

What a complete idiot. There is no way in hell I would put a tattoo on my face for anyone. Regardless of what the money was for.

On my forehead? For 10K? Absolutely not. My shoulder maybe. I think I’d need “I can buy this house with cash, thanks” money for a boob tat- and I’m not sure there would be enough money to make me tattoo advertising on my forehead. Unless it was Disney. Then I’d just need the house and free access to parks whenever I want.

@ Karla, I agree with you! Like I said, I like tattoos but would never put one on my forehead!

@ WordVixen, I probally would put one on my shoulder or leg for $10K. I am sure I could spend that money, but there is not enough money in the world to pay me to ruin my face!

Whoa. No, huh uh, no way. And does that company actually think that will be a POSITIVE advertisement for what they do?

To me, tattoos represent the ultimate expression of individuality- a way of saying “This is what matters to me in this world.” I wouldn’t sell that.

I think that poor lady just did her son a grave disservice by becoming the mom with a gambling.com on her forehead in his private school. That won’t fly…

@ Rock and ROll Momma,
Your right 100%. I hope she realizes that 10K will only cover a years worth of private school anyway. So next year she will have to tattoo something else for money.

I wouldn’t tattoo any advertisement any where on my body for any amount of money. It is just dumb and something you will regret when the money runs out. Then you are left with covering it up with a really big tat or laser it off. Not worth it.

@ Anonymous Venice the tattoo if for real. It was all over the news.

@ Delaney, Me either! Maybe a small something on my ankle or somewhere I could cover of would be worth a few million! My body would not come cheap!
