Someone shoot this woman!

While 10 grand is a respectable sale, I don't find it tempting enough to walk around for the rest of my life like that...

I admire this woman for doing this for her son, honestly if more people would go to such drastic measures to take care of their children, the world may be a 1% better place.

It doesn't say for her life.. is it actually life or a period of time?

what would suck is if the goldenpalace site went down. walking around with a tatoo advertising a nonexistent site.

I know, but it's a real tattoo though. Can it fully be removed, no scarring nowadays?

She could always get a cover up.

She can probably get it removed with minimal scarring..but it would probably take every bit of that $10,000 to do it.

Saw this on the news last night...I couldn't believe it.

To become a walking billboard for a web site? Shit, I don't buy t-shirts that say "GAP" (or any other brand name) on them, but this woman has an advertisement inked into her fucking flesh. On her forehead, no less. And she's doing it just to send her kid to private school, not because her family's starving or homeless…people are fucked up.

Nick should have put a bid in for TNL.

Yeah...thats a little fucked up...she didn't need the money THAT bad. Now she looks like a total tool with a web address on her forhead...

Well, I wouldn't do it cause a) embarrasment and b) I can make 10 grand on my own without such extreme measures. If that was her price, you have to take into account her situation and desparation. You don't think guys living on the street, down on their luck for most of their life would do it for that much? I imagine her situation isn't that great for this being what it's gonna take to give her kid a better shot than what she got. That is one expensive tattoo at 10Gs just looking at it that way.
