Cleveland man offering to tattoo head with ad for $60,000 a year

(Cleveland, Ohio) Aug. 17, 2004 - A Cleveland man is putting his skin up for sale on eBay. It's a unique advertising opportunity, conceived by a head-strong tattoo artist.

Jeremy Martin, 21, says the target audience is anyone behind him, "At the gas station, at the grocery store, at the local mall."

For a price he'll tattoo the name and logo of the highest bidder on his head for $60,000 a year, "I will not take less then that, because I'm going to have a tattoo on the back of my head for the rest of my life."

So far 1100 people have inquired about the space for rent, but he's gotten no bidders, "I don't think anybody wants to be the first person to try something out."

For that measly $60,000 Jeremy is promising a car wrap, personalized plate and head tattoo, "So the advertisement doesn't stop when the car is parked."

He's promising to travel hundreds of miles a week. The auction ends on Thursday.
