Last but not least: The bald head as advertising space

Necessity is the mother of invention: to pay off his debts, German Thomas Tanriverdi wants to turn his bald head into money and have advertising tattooed on it. The 33-year-old doesn't really care what kind of advertising it is. Nevertheless, there are limits, he explained to SZ-Online: He definitely doesn't do pornographic stuff or anything like that. "No porky stuff, it has to be something serious," he says. Like Jägermeister, for example, his personal preferred candidate - but the deal with the spirits manufacturer didn't materialize. Perhaps his second favorite, the equally reputable liqueur producer Kleiner Feigling, will work out.
The 38-year-old Oliver Intemann has already had success with marketing his bald head: he offered his polished head for advertising purposes on the Internet auction site Ebay. The bridal and evening wear store Laras Dreamland won the bid for 505 euros. For 23 days, he walked around with the store's logos and internet address - they were not real tattoos, but merely tattoo stickers. So not a decision for life, but still somehow courageous. And certainly not everyone's cup of tea.
