Tattoo Advertising: $40k per Forehead

I found this listing on eBay.

eBay Listing for Ad Tattoos

Truth be told, I found it on Digg while I was searching for “advertising” stories. (I’m not currently looking to place the ChasNote logo on someone’s head!)

My favorite part is where the sellers veer from AAAA/IAB standard terms and conditions: “No Returns Accepted.”

This isn’t the first time I’ve come across enterprising individuals offering branded tattoos to the highest bidder. Three years ago a Salt Lake City woman made $10,000 in exchange for tattooing GoldenPalace.com (in letters an inch tall, per the agreement) on her forehead. By my very rough math, I calculated that she earned an effective CPM of just $11.42.
