'I'm glad to know that I did all I could': Man with Mitt Romney face tattoo has no regrets

If you're still trying to scrape off a Mitt Romney bumper sticker, consider Eric Hartsburg face before you complain.

Hartsburg, of Indiana, got Mitt Romney's campaign logo permanently tattooed on the side of his head for a cool $15,000 in October.

'Totally disappointed, man,' Hartsburg, 30, told Politico . 'I'm the guy who has egg all over his face, but instead of egg, it's a big Romney/Ryan tattoo. It's there for life.'

Even though he'll be reminded of the failed campaign every time he looks in the mirror, he said he had no regrets.



'I’m a tattoo guy, and it was something fun,' he said. 'I was trying to make politics fun. I didn’t change no lives; I’m no hero. But I shed blood for this campaign, and I’m glad to know that I did all that I could.'

Hartsburg originally offered the skin for sale on eBay with a starting bid of $5,000 but the money tripled before someone finally won the right to mark him forever

Hartsburg, who also works as a professional wrestler, explained his motivation to ABC News when he first posted the ad.

'I wish it could be a more noble cause than just saying, 'hey, let's have a good time',' Hartsburg told them in August, before the winning bid for a Romney design. 'But you only live once, and I was born with a forehead, so why not?'

Hartsburg's only specification was that the tattoo not be racist or hateful.



He actually rejected a higher offer because the requested tattoo was 'lewd.'

But when the buyer offered $15,000 for a Romney tattoo, Hartsburg said it was something he could live with because he was a registered Republican.

Hartsburg said the lesson of Barack Obama's victory is that 'the Republican Party needs quite a bit of reform,' especially attracting young voters.

Even though he admits to being the butt of more than a few jokes since his candidate lost, he's upbeat about the future.
