A mother in the United States had the name of a casino permanently tattooed on her forehead after auctioning off advertising space on her head to pay for her child's school fees.

For $10,000, one Kari Smith has gone ahead and had her forehead tattooed with the internet address of a gambling site. Bountiful, 30, who sold her unusual advertising space on a popular auction site, said the money will give her 11-year-old son a private education, which she believes he needs after falling behind in school.

"For all the sacrifices everyone makes, this is a very small one," she said. "It’s a small sacrifice to build a better future for my son," she said. "To everyone else, it seems like a stupid thing to do. To me, $10,000 is like $1 million. I only live once, and I'm doing it for my son," she said.
