TAT’S A CHEEKY OFFER!

Ink my tush for $$

- By YARON STEINBUCH ysteinbuch@nypost.com

A New Zealand beauty wants to improve her bottom line — by auctioning off tattooed ad space on her backside.

Bailey Price — a self-confessed “public mooner” and surf-shop worker from Wellington — said she’s floating the offer so she can get “out of debt,” The Sun of the UK reported.

“I’m a pretty wild girl, so most people who know me wouldn’t be surprised that I’m offering the winner of this auction to have anything tattooed on my butt,” Price (inset) wrote on her Trade Me listing.

“Obviously, tattoos are forever, so who could say no to a lifetime of advertisem­ent. I am also well known for mooning my butt in public, lol,” the 20-year-old heinie honey added.

Among the ad’s conditions: The tattoo must be sized no larger than 3 ¹ /2by-3¹/2 inches, and she chooses where to have it inked (but the winner does get to watch and she will throw in a framed photo of the final result). “You may be waiting to bid on this auction for a vary [sic] of ideas: marriage

proposal, busi- ness promotion, an artist wanting to share design or just because yolo [you only live once],” she wrote. “10% of the winnings will go towards a charity of your choice.”

The Kiwi’s mom “has given up on disagreein­g on all my tattoos, and I’m sure she would be happy with me not asking for loans off her all the time,” stuff.co.nz reported.

“My nana said, ‘Only you could get away with that, Bailey,’ ” she said.

Price received plenty of cheeky comments on her listing.

“Better photos and regularity of flashing so we know we’re getting good return on investment. No point bidding if you only flash once a month,” one hopeful wrote.

“Haha I have to keep this auction appropriat­e,” she responded.

Asked about the appropriat­eness of the ad, Trade Me spokesman Logan Mudge told stuff.co.nz: “Most people seem to be taking it in good humor, and it’s only attracted one complaint so far.”

Bidding on the auction, which closes Dec. 14, reached $3,030 as of Friday evening.
