10k to be unemployable for life? Right.

What a fucking dunderhead! "The reason I'm getting a goldpalace.com tattoo on my forehead is I like a lot of positive things in my life."

Uh okay lol wtf.

yeah, she had some serious "wtf" quotes in there. "golden palace is a reputable, positive company" WTF!! yeah, disfiguring people for the measly sum of 10k is a positive thing. And "I'm doing this for my 11 year old" Doing what? showing him that even adults can make asinine decisions?

She devalues getting yourself tattooed for cash for us all.

The inclusion of the last guy redeems the whole video. I love how she doesn't understand his reaction.

Shame on the tattooist for taking the job. Grim.

The company is absolutely DISGUSTING for doing this. She is a poor, low IQ individual who knows know better, sees 10K as being really handy right now, and yet completely doesn't understand how much MORE it's going to cost her in the long run... just insanely stupid on her part. I feel very sorry for her as she's fucked up her life even more. You can get tattoos kinda removed, but it costs thousands (there goes the 10K) and they are still slightly visible.

Poor, poor dumbass woman, F*cking disgusting company for putting someone up to do it.

downvote because i think this is pretty bleak and doesn't deserve to be a viral. poor woman.

I have a friend who is a tattooist and he wouldn't do that to someone in a million years. If they even want a tattoo in a visible place, Like neck or hand, He talks to them for at least half an hour to make sure it's what they really want and makes sure that they know it's going to be there forever. After that talk about half decide to have it in a non visible place.

This person was seriously taken advantage of. I wouldn't even do it for 10 million.

I say that was ethically wrong of the company. You can always find people who are foolish enough or desperate enough to harm themselves for a little short-term gain, but in those cases, their consent does not make it right -- in those cases, you have an obligation not to be part of their self-destruction. (Sort of the same argument as the one against 'Bumfights' if you all remember those exploitation videos from 5 or so years back.)

A lot of people pay to get tattoos--including on the face--and look like dumbasses rebels anyway.

Some guy sold ad-space on his forehead for 30k on ebay a few years ago, so she sold out cheap.

Comment hidden because you are ignoring dag.(show it anyway)

I have a friend who has two sixes tattooed behind his ear at the hairline. He was drunk, and wanted three. The tattooist told him to come back when he was sober for the 3rd six. He never did.

Wacko!

could this be fake and just a viral ad for the company?

this is not fake. also, the tattoo artist apparently spent 7 hours trying to talk her out of it.

( http://www.theregister.co.uk/2005/07/01/casino_tattoos_womans_face/ )

To its credit, the tattoo parlour which did the dirty deed - SI TATTOOING in Salt Lake City - reportedly spent seven hours trying to talk her out of it. Well, sort of to its credit, because it went ahead and tattooed the silly woman anyway, but it's the thought that counts...

as for goldenpalace, shame on them indeed.

The Golden Palace take on this, the literally unacceptable face of capitalism, is as follows: "I think this kind of advertising will become increasingly popular as time goes on. It is a perfect way to get attention amid the clutter of advertising that people see every second of every day. Conventional forms of marketing just don't cut it anymore. To get people's attention, you have to stand out from the crowd. In light of Karolyne's story and her intentions to improve her son's education, we have given her additional $5,000 on top of the $10,000 spent on the auction."

they have also done other shifty marketing things, ( http://www.theregister.co.uk/2003/06/18/golden_palace_starts_u_s/ ) such as paying a pornstar to interrupt the US Open Golf Tournament by streaking, and, "Golden Palace has already used the streaking gag for self-promotion at the UEFA Cup Final and the French Open."

remember the jesus cheese sandwich? they bought it. the whole buying weird shit on ebay i guess is a good way to get attention, but i think it takes advantage of capitalism to another degree.

as for karolyne smith:

Smith, on the other hand, now has a url plastered across her face. She claims that she did it to raise funds for her son's private education, enthusing: "I really want to do this. To everyone else, it seems like a stupid thing to do. To me, $10,000 is like $1 million. I only live once, and I'm doing it for my son ... It's a small sacrifice to build a better future for my son."

Dead please.
