Remember the Guy with the Romney Tattoo?


Eric Hartsburg -- who was paid $15,000 to get a five inch Romney campaign tattoo on his face -- now tells Politico he's "totally disappointed, man. I'm the guy who has egg all over his face, but instead of egg, it's a big Romney/Ryan tattoo. It's there for life."

But he added, "I'm hoping this opens some other doors in the entertainment business."

Wasn't it Shakespeare who said that a fool and his money are soon parted?

Sure is true here!

That young lad is a marked man. How humiliating! If the idiocy fits, wear it!

Shared on Facebook - and I said "THINK before you ink!" And then, added this, one of the comments below the story in the link above.

Another tattoo victim who lived to tell the tale:
"My ex-wife was a buxum lass, and insisted on a pegasus tattoo on her left breast. I tried to dissuade her, pointing out that age would change the appearance of the character. It was to no avail. Now in her later years she sports a tattoo that looks like a giraffe with wings."

What a ignorant plebe he would think this man. I'll bet Romney has SHOES that cost more than this guy got for tattooing his face.

Looks like it. It kinda fits. Yes, I am going to pierce my face, and while I'm at it, I am going to show everybody how intelligent I am by getting a Romney campaign tattoo on my face.

Good luck with that. Maybe you shouldn't have gotten that brain piercing.

My friends daughter says the Romney logo looks like a fat butt.

There are now ways to remove tats with lasers. Will probably cost the same as the $15,000 he got to put it on there.

I've seen people do that with tattoos they've regretted.

And those Chinese characters on his neck say "I'm a fucking pig shit eating dumb ass."

He thinks it says, "I hate America and fuck virgins."

You're stuck with that one, asshole. Even laser surgery won't be able to remove that abomination (EVEN unto GOD).

On the plus side, some tattoo artist made a SHITLOAD off of that idiot. That's good. That's very good.
