 Kerra Fowler is a mother of four who decided to wear her
opposition to President Bush on the back of her head. She offered up
on
eBay her shaved skull for an anti-Bush message and received a tattoo
of a
large W, complete with a cowboy hat, with a red slash across it after
a
sympathetic buyer bid $103.50.

Fowler, 29, said she placed her eBay advertisement with an opening bid
of
one penny after seeing two others offering to sell space on their
heads for
tattoos backing Democratic candidate John Kerry.

"One wanted 10 grand and the other, $30,000," she told The
Herald-Times of
Bloomington for a story Tuesday. "So I thought, that isn't right, to
say
you believe in something and then charge $30,000. I thought that was
audacious."

Fowler said the winning eBay bidder asked her not to get the tattoo.
But
she went through with it after she and her husband, Jeremy, came up
with
the design with a tattoo artist in Bedford, some 20 miles south of
Bloomington.

Fowler did accept the money, gave half to the tattoo artist and used
the
rest to buy beer, pay part of a bill and buy a gift for her children.
