Maine Man to Permanently Tattoo Globat.com's Logo onto His Neck
View Gallery » Watch Movie »


Mark Greenlaw, a father to three children and resident of Biddeford, Maine, came up with the idea to sell the rights to his neck space to help support his growing family in early January. The auction to have his neck tattooed was quickly seen by tens of thousands of people and attracted media interest with radio show appearances and newspaper mentions across the country before it came to the attention of Globat.com.

“At Globat.com, we love inventive ideas like Mark’s,” said Ben R. Neumann, President and CEO of Globat.com. “Our company helps people promote, develop, and host business ideas 24 hours a day, and we think Mark gives us a great way to demonstrate our love of fresh ideas. We also think this represents the ultimate in brand loyalty!”

Hello, I wanted to write a short little message to you all...well, it has been a few days since I got the tattoo, but boy, did the first day hurt! A little over two hours of having a needle drilled on me in the back of my neck - gotta love it!

Well so far, people love it. I have had a few people ask how they can go ahead and run a auction like mine, which is great. A lot of other people are just amaze that I would sell a portion of my skin to get inked.

What do you think? Let me know...I would love to hear from you.

I have seen a lot of couragious things in my lifetime but that is really brave. Unless he wears a turtle neck or high collar - he is a Globat advertisement for life. He gets free hosting for one year right?

I hope you thought that through, I would hate something that obvious, its really brave of you to do this, but for the rest of your life, and so obvious? I think you should've gotten it on your forehead, and hands.

Brother, As much as I love my Glob@t service, I think thats just way to much dedication. LOL. But, i will say that has to be an orriginal. At least you didnt follow the silly trend of putting woven thorns on your arm. Or did you o.0

Ayo, Was Good Mark! Yeh I deffinately feel ya on the gettin out the hood. I'm smack in the middle of it myself. Been tryin to get out for a long time. That is currently what I am working towards now. Even if I don't make it out the 7th ward, I at least want to try to get a house with some kind of small back yard for my daughters that has some sort of security fence. So far we've been stuck in apartments. I deffinately won't let them play outside around here for the exact same reasons you said. My wifes cousin was just shot (R.I.P.) just 2 weeks ago over an altercation that had nothing to do with him. That is just the recent stuff. In the end though lets face it, It's affordable. I recently priced renting outside the hood in a nicer section of the city, nothing fancy, and it was almost double what our current budget will allow. It was at least double what we pay now, and they were smaller places. They say love it or leave it, but it sometimes seems the only way I'm Leavin is when I stop breathin... LoL! Yeh that would be cool if we get a chance to chill. With the reactions we get now, imagine if people see 2 of us at the same time, chillin together. Be Easy! One! Lanc's Finest!

Well hello world !! It has been a long time since I have posted and thats because I went back to my old job as a pizza delivery driver now i make 10X more than I did working as a security guard. And the latest news on the tattoo is getting known see it is tourist season here in maine and I goto the grocery store like 3 times a day and atleast 5-8 people will ask me about the tattoo but I think i gave a 70 year old woman a heart attack today due to the fact when she asked me what it was and i told her I was a walking billboard her mouth dropped to the floor very fast. lol Well thats it for now hope to hear fom you folks soon and of course hope to hear from the globat family as well. Tak care your #1 Glob@t Body Ad Man PS Working on new site layout and is at 75% completion !!
