Advertisement tattoos, what do you think?

Hey all. Been reading up on tattoos in the news lately, so Ill start sharing some headlines and some of my thoughts. First up, there seems to be more and more folks tattooing advertisements on themselves for the highest bidder. Now, through out the years plenty of people have tattooed images associated with companies and products on every part of their body, but it has been for the love of the company/product/image, not for the cash. Obviously there are plenty of Harley Davidson tattoos, and love of motorcycles is the motivation for the tattoo, not advertising. People show their love of beer through tattoos, heres is a Pabst Blue Ribbon beer tattoo, and here's a Genesee beer tattoo. In fact, as I started writing this news report(Ha! I write news reports now!), Dan Henk was uploading a tattoo done from a companies logo. I dunno, though, theres something about taking money for a tattoo that doesnt make me happy inside. It seems to cheapen the tattoo art, though, I guess we do need to try hard not to judge art. I guess, its really none of my business if people sell their skin and tattoo some advertisement on it, I just hope I never have to resort to those kinda marketing practices.

I don't know if I would do it. If I were in serious debt, had a contract with the company for so much a month, as well as the initial bid, had the option of changing the tattoo after a year or so, possibly. If someone not associated with any advertisments would pay me a good lump of money just to have there name tattooed on my ankle, I probably would do it, names are different from Ads. I was thinking of doing it anyways, just to help my family financially. Some people are desperate. I am becoming one of them

selling your body is never a good thing.
