Illinoisan lends noggin to Web hosting firm for about $4 a day

Jim Nelson may have soaked up too much radiation over the years.

Nelson, 22, who works for a union that supplies workers to nuclear plants, signed a deal this month with Web hosting firm C I Host to sport its logo on the back of his head for the next five years. It’s a color tattoo. It’s ugly. He gets $7,000.

Nelson auctioned his head on eBay, and the Dallas company bid after plans to tattoo someone’s forehead for $20,000 fell through.
