Sparked by Tina Beznec’s auction allowing the winner to tattoo anything (up to 9cm x 9cm) on her bum on New Zealand auction site Trade Me, there are now a spate of copycats on the site, offering areas for tattooing including more buttocks, a breast, legs, a neck, backs, and even a husband and wife combos.

Tina’s original auction, now set to bring in more than NZ$12,000, will be split so 20% of the money goes to the winner’s choice of charity, who will also receive a photo of Tina’s derrière after their chosen design has been inked in to it. The auction finishes tomorrow on 20th Jan at 5pm (New Zealand time) if you want to get a bid in.

The coverage of Tina’s auction has inspired a spate of others to join in, most of them at least in part for a good cause. You can have your choice of tattoos put on a husband & wife’s thighs, with 60% going to either cancer or epilepsy charities, one on a man’s throat with 20% going to a Women’s Refuge, and a man who is offering his whole bottom and his back in separate auctions to help pay for his child’s cancer treatment.

We wish all the auctioneers the best with their fundraising efforts, and hope they’re happy with the designs they get.

If you’re going to a gig or out clubbing, we have plenty of temporary tattoos you can use to match your favourite celebrity, or to enhance your look. As a bonus, if your family is a bit uptight about such things, don’t remove it as soon as you get home, leave it on until the next day to catch their reaction when they think it’s a permanent tattoo. Our temporary designs are so realistic the only way they’ll spot they’re not the real thing is if you tell them.

Relief is guaranteed when they discover a little baby oil will remove the tattoo in a few seconds. Be advised however, you will need family with a sense of humour if you ever want to be let out of the house again!

Get yourself a temporary tattoo until you’re sure you want a permanent one!

OK, it’s probably a fake, but I bet you there’s some people who find it a surprise when the tattoo needle strikes and they find out it hurts.

Of course, he could have avoided all of that fuss by using a temporary tattoo instead.

As if the pain and vagaries of changing fashion weren’t enough to make you get a temporary tattoo rather than a permanent one, maybe these tattoos will make you think. How much happier would these people be if they could rub off their tattoo with a little baby oil?

Not exactly a mis-spelling, more an unfortunate cherry picking of quotes:

While Leviticus 18:22 does indeed say “You shall not lie with a male as with a woman; it is an abomination.” at 19:28 it also says “You shall not make any cuts on your body for the dead or tattoo yourselves: I am the Lord.”

So if you’re hoping to get past the Pearly Gates but you like tattoos, our temporary designs are the way to go!
