But then I realized, this would actually make a great hub. People have put brand names and logos all over..., forearm, back, forehead, for money and just because they love the product. Want to see what some of these people got paid to brand themselves? Read on… Meet Billy Gibby a.k.a " Billy the Human Billboard". At first glance he may appear a bit crazy, but Billy's story does start out with good intentions. Billy is a well known boxer in Anchorage Alaska, and as a boxer he already knew how to get paid for temporary tattoos from companies willing to pay good money to get their logo seen. But when a childhood friend needed a kidney transplant he decided to go the extra mile and offered to put a permanent tattoo anywhere on his body for more money. A few years later I read that he now has collected 26 paid for tattoos (including an adult website on his forehead) and hopes to someday make it into the Guinness book of world records for the most paid for tattoos on a person's body. In one of his most recent moves, he not only put this company's brand name on the back of his neck, but he legally changed his name to Mr. Hostgator Dotcom. Just wondering if some of the many punches to his face over the years have possibly affected his rational?...Interested in advertising on this 18-0 tough man champion boxer's body? You can check his personal blogpspot here for prices... I'm wondering If I should put "Howlermunkey" on his chest.....Would that count as a backlink?? Source Next up is Kari Smith, a young mother from Utah who wanted to help pay for her son's college tuition. I don't know about you, but this picture makes me want to avoid this online casino at all costs. You may remember Golden Casino from other stunts, such as the purchase of the "Virgin Mary Grilled Cheese Sandwich" featured in my "Top Ten Craziest and 우리카지노 Weirdest items that ever Sold on eBay" hub. I'm wondering what's next, will the Vegas casino's tattoo "Cheater" on your forehead if you get caught counting cards at the blackjack table? How much did Kari get paid to tattoo her forehead? Ten thousand dollars. I'd really like to know if that money is still socked away in the bank. Wouldn't it be ironic if it got wasted in online slot machines? Imagine that scenario, not only did you lose your son's college tuition, but now every time you look in the mirror you see the casino that took your money back. Sounds like a scene from "The Hangover, 우리카지노계열 part 3". You can find some more extreme brand tattoo pics at Rankmytattoos.com. Believe it or not, some people brand themselves with company logos for free. Source So was this a fad? It seems most of the websites I found that give info on "how to tattoo yourself with corporate logos for money" seem almost dead at the moment. The pages I found include "tatad.com" , which currently has a "bandwidth exceeded" error message, and "leaseyourbody.com" (featured on Billythehumanbillboard's neck) doesn't seem like it has any recent posts. (I feel sorry for the girl with the temp tattoo on her forehead), how long has her picture been on the front page of that site? After much research, it seems the best way to get paid from a company to tattoo yourself with their brand name is to contact therm directly. You could also try selling personal advertising space on eBay. Some companies, such as ecko, offer a lifetime 20% discount. Personally I'm thinking more along the lines of 60-70% discount would be fair. Hmm, this leads me to a poll, How much would it take for you to tattoo a brand name on your body? How much would you take for a company to place their brand name as a permanent tattoo on your body? 20 - 40 percent discount for life 500 - 2500 Dollars 10,000 - 15,000 Dollars Depends on where the ad is placed No amount of money or discount Free - Just because I LOVE their product See results If you enjoyed this hub check out some of my others: Did You know that some of the beach sand in Florida actually comes from the Sahara Desert? And So the 21st Century Space Rush Begins Who invented the Caesar Salad? So now I'm wondering if HubPages would pay me for a tattoo. Probably have to publish a few more hubs first ;).

Voted up, funny and interesting - look forward to more of your writing Jef with AP :-) Christy Birmingham 7 years ago from British Columbia, Canada What a crazy guy!

Actually, I believe there are some opportunities where the AD can be stick on and not permanent, you just have to look for it. MazioCreate 7 years ago from Brisbane Queensland Australia This is a great hub. I had never heard of this type of company branding before and was gobsmacked when I saw the title in your hub display. I might venture down that road if the tattoo was a stick on. LOL! Liked and shared with my followers. AUTHORJeff Boettner 7 years ago from Tampa, FL hahahaha, good point Window Pain Window Pain 7 years ago Might not be so good if you're a boxer. Let's say you've got an "Allstate Insurance" tattoo, and the other guy just got royally screwed by Allstate Insurance... Let's say you've got a "Dairy Queen" tattoo, and you're over at the weigh-in... Let's say you've got a "Nyquil" tattoo, and you're laying on the canvas knocked out... AUTHORJeff Boettner 7 years ago from Tampa, FL Hi Lin02, yes, in sports, especially boxing, a tattoo on a back or arm could pay off big, especially if the athlete wins a lot.

AUTHORJeff Boettner 7 years ago from Tampa, FL HA! quite, thanks Windows Pain Window Pain 7 years ago perfect ad... *Vacant Cranium For Rent* AUTHORJeff Boettner 7 years ago from Tampa, FL Thanks ShiningIrishEyes , yeah I think Billy's popularity fell drastically when he put an xrated.com ad on his forehead....I mean seriously...what was he thinking? (which I didn't want to show in my hub obviously). Like me, most people probably won't show his face now due to ad regulations etc... so all of that and for what.. now what's he gonna do? Shining Irish Eyes 7 years ago from Upstate, New York As my voted choice reflects, there is no amount of money in this world to use as a human billboard. I heard about Billy and found this write entertaining and extremely interesting. Voting up.
