| Ind. Woman Puts Anti-Bush Tattoo on Skull |
| 2004-10-06 |
| No, we don't have to make this shit up. They just keep doing it for us... 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. Her kids must be so proud. 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. Kerry: The Choice of Shaven Head Women With Tattoos On Their Heads. "I'm John Fn Kerry and I approved this message." "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." ...whatever "audacious" means. I heard it on "Oprah" once. Or was it "Jerry Springer"? 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. I think she just wanted a tattoo on her head and some idiot bankrolled it for her. And another quick question. Does mom have a ...ummmmmmm... job? 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. Now there's one of Kerry's hard core constituents... |

| #20 How brave to have a tatoo where your hair will naturally cover it when you're tired of it. If she truly hated Bush she'd put the tat on her neck or chest or something. |

| #19 Well I live in Northern Indiana, and I can confirm the "foul mouthed" part of Capsu's comment is not limited to the southern portion of the State. Fuck you Capsu, and your stereotypical comments. This State is a Republican stronghold, and the majority of those "beer bellyed, foul mouthed, missing toothed yahoos..and their husbands" will be turning out in droves to reelect President Bush on November 2nd. As for this woman, every state has their own idiots, and we are certainly no diffrent. |

| #18 Most "quality of life" polls give low marks to Southern Indiana for the very reason that its inhabitants seem to invest more in Tattoos than in dental care. It is full of Beer bellyed , foul mouthed, missing toothed yahoos... and their husbands. |

| #17 I love this part: 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. "You wanna pay off the phone bill?" "Hell, no! Get me another suitcase of Pabst! And a nice toy for our four children, maybe a lawn dart set." |

| #16 Damn... after listening to Sen. JoKe, I would have thought that Bush had the white trash vote sewn up. |

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..... In other words she cheated the winning bidder (yup! Thats a democrat alright!). He elected to have no tattoo but she defrauded him by getting one anyway of her and her husband's design and not of the bidder's design (which is what he paid for)... |

| #14 "I wonder what went wrong in her upbringing that caused such a psychological malfunction." Parents were Democrats, maybe? |

| #11 Lordy BigEd, that is the most disgusting display of facial mutilation I've ever seen. I wonder what went wrong in her upbringing that caused such a psychological malfunction. How would you like to bring that mess home to Mom? |

| #5 I told you they are going crazy. Pretty soon they will have group suicides for Kerry, probably after the elections. |

| #4 "Doing another auction would be lame but if I can get tattoos that can mean something to people besides myself, Iâll keep on. I recently tattooed âAllah Akbarâ in Arabic on my husband and I will copy it on myself if he doesnât mind. Talk about going over peopleâs heads though; who can read Arabic?" It probably sez "I am a total fuckwit!" - Who can read Arabic? Lol. Permanent. Good. Amazing how often tatoos lose their meaning and / or become incredibly stupid sentiments 5 or 10 yrs later. No Rogaine for her or hubby, plz. |

| #3 Fowler's husband also got a "Vote for Kerry" tattoo, but on his little head. After the job was done, the tattoo artist reduced the price of the tattoo because all he could inscribe was "V. |

| #1 She should get in touch with the Michael Moore minutemen in Iraq---maybe they'll send her someone else's skull for another message. |
