Hey Hubzers!

Olympic athlete, Nick Symmonds, is auctioning off exactly two square inches of his left deltoid, or more precisely a temporary tattoo featuring the Twitter handle of the highest bidder.

That’s right, even you could be featured on the burly bronzed arm of an Olympic competitor during the 2012 running season.

But Nick Symmonds isn’t just any competitor. In the 800 meter race, Symmonds is ranked first in the United States and sixth in the world. He is also part-owner of a tanning salon.

You can check-out the auction here; 6 days and 72 bids later the bid amount has reached $4,300.

Symmonds is prepared to offer up a little spotlight to an individual or a corporation.

He will wear the temporary tattoo throughout all seven races in the 2012 running season which is topped off with the 2012 London Olympics.

However, a spot on the American Olympic team is not guaranteed. As Symmonds explains in a contract below the hustle and bustle of bidding, “As stated in the contract below, no American has a guaranteed spot on the 2012 Olympic Track and Field Team until after the Olympic Trials. For me to make this team I will need to finish in the top 3 at the USA Olympic Trials.”

Another problem could arise from the social rules and regulations put on Athletes during the Olympics– that is, if he even gets to the Olympics.

I hate to be the bearer of bad news but according to social media guidelines laid down by the International Olympic Committee, Olympians “are not permitted to promote any brand, product or service within a posting, blog or tweet or otherwise on any social media platforms or on any websites.”

Additionally Olympians are not permitted to “enter into any exclusive commercial agreement with any company” regarding their social media activity throughout the competition.
