Man selling ad space on his head

ST. ALBANS, W.Va., April 12 (UPI) -- A West Virginia man who wants to buy a motorcycle to save on gas is selling advertising space on his body.

James Burns has put his offer on eBay. With the starting bid at $99, Burns says he will get a tattoo of a company logo or whatever else the buyer wants -- as long as it does not involve profanity, the Charleston Daily Mail reported.

"Gas prices are hurting everyone," Burns said. "They're sticking it to me. I've got kids at home and I'm trying to do everything I can. With the way gas is, we've had to cut back on everything."

Burns said he would like to get a tattoo protesting high gas prices. But he's willing to take almost anything.

The tattoo will be on his head or neck. He promises to shave his hair for a year for tattoos that might otherwise be covered.

The buyer must also pay for the tattoo unless the bidding goes above $5,000.

For $8,000, Burns will throw in an ad on the side of his 1992 Subaru for a year.
