Actually, that's a really good idea.... With his publicity, I'm sure he could create a pretty good mailing list....

How about a "tattoo forehead cam".... Live streaming images of where the tattoo is today! :)

Those are pretty crazy ideas! :)

On a more serious note, this guy says (in his auction) that he's doing it to help pay his bills.... Man, with all this publicity, he could have made money already (if he had experience in this)....

I must say, I've always been intrigued by staged "publicity stunts" - Richard Branson is a master of them. It's a really low cost way of letting people know you're there....

EBay seems to be one of the major places where people are trying to pull "publicity stunts" nowadays!
