User:Lx 121/Eric Hartsburg

Eric Hartsburg, born 11 January 1982, is an American professional wrestler. During the 2012 U.S. presidential election campaign, he garnered media attention for getting a Romney campaign "R" logo tattooed on the right side of his face.

In 2012 Hartsburg, who has a number of tattoos, offered a placement for a tattoo advertisement on his face, via eBay. He was contacted by an unnamed Republican supporter, and after some negotiations he was paid $15,000.00 to have the Romney campaign logo permanently inked on his right temple. No direct connection to the official Romney campaign was claimed. While Hartsburg had said that he intended to keep the tattoo, subsequent to Romney's defeat and controversial post-election comments, he expressed his disappointment with the candidate's behaviour, and decided to have the design removed. However, Hartsburg has stated that he does not regret his decision in getting it.
