Hell, I’m bald. I could host _several_ ads on my head!

I wonder if my wife would let me…

Steve-O’s tattoo is just “YOUR NAME” so he can say “I got your name tattooed on my ass”

I had a T shirt with “Your name here” at least 20 years ago. Copycat stole my idea!

What’s scary is if this guy is absolutely right, and this does take off as a new fashion. I honestly do not doubt it. I mean look at all the people that wear shirts that say “Nike” or “Tommy Hilfiger” (I don’t care if I misspelled it). Oh! And the fashion of wearing names printed across the ass! Ew. But people love it. Why not advertise on pants or shorts or skirts across the ass? The nicer the ass, the more you can charge for the advertisement. Or perhaps the wider the ass?
