Bids on a cheeky online auction, giving the winner the chance to tattoo an image of their choice on a Lower Hutt woman's buttock, are just shy of $10,000 with a week yet to run.
Tina Beznec is selling a 9cm by 9cm space of skin on her TradeMe auction, "YOUR tattoo on my Bum!!", after being made redundant twice in the past year.
She also plans to give 20 percent of the winnings to a charity of the winner's choice.
Ms Beznec suggests the canvas is the perfect place for a marriage proposal or business promotion, or for an artist wanting to share a design.
She is promising that the winner's idea - no matter how outrageous - will end up on her rear.
The auction's 48 bids reached $9999.99 late on Thursday night - and many more are expected before the auction closes next Friday.
The auction has a reserve of $10,000 and has been viewed nearly 70,000 times.
