Frikinoticia

Jason Niebling, un treintañero australiano padre de cuatro hijos, se quiere convertir en un hombre anuncio y ganar por la cara unos cuantos miles dólares.

Su propuesta innovadora consiste en ofrecer cada centímetro de la piel de su rostro para que las empresas coloquen sus anuncios en forma de tatuajes.

De momento, ya tiene la mitad de su cara cubierta con tatuajes decorativos, así como parte de su calva, pero ha reservado toda su mitad derecha para que el pujador más alto inscriba su anuncio, según publica Yahoo! News.

"Mi objetivo final es no tener que levantarme temprano cada mañana para ir a trabajar. Si puedo ganar dinero paseando mi cara por la calle por qué no lo voy a hacer, estoy en mi derecho", comentó Niebling.

Jason Niebling

The 37-year-old from Ipswich, west of Brisbane, doesn't care if people think he's an idiot - just as long as the scheme pays off and he can better provide for his wife Amy and children Tre, Tanika, Candis and Finette.

Mr Niebling already has the left side of his face and his bald head covered in non-advertising tattoos, but the right half is up for sale to the highest bidder.

He is set to become the first person in Australia to ink a permanent tattoo advertisement on their body.

"I want to be a human advertising billboard," said Mr Niebling, who aims to have his first tattoo advertisement inked on live television.

"If someone comes up with enough money, they can have the entire right side of my face, which would be the ultimate advertising space."

He's waiting for an answer from a Mexican restaurant in Brisbane that was looking at buying a $10,000 ad space on his head.

Tattoo advertising has been around since 2003 when American Jim Nelson sold the space on the back of his head to a web hosting service for $US7,000.

Two years later Andrew Fischer, from Omaha, Nebraska, gained worldwide notoriety for auctioning his forehead space on eBay for temporary tattoo advertising, with the final bid coming in at $US37,375 for 30 days' work.
