KIRKSVILLE, MO. -- The owner of a Kirksville tattoo parlor is getting creative in his efforts to get people to vote.
"Flash," as he calls himself, from Dyed Hyde Tattoo and Body Piercing is offering free body piercings to voters on November 4th only.
A basic piercing usually costs $20, and Flash says you'll just have to pay $5 on election day to cover the cost of materials.
To take advantage of the special, you have to present a photo ID, your voter registration card and an "I Voted" sticker.
"This is the most important election in history, as far as I'm concerned, and my idea to give free body piercings on election day is just to get voters out there, give them some incentive to get out there and vote," said “Flash.”
He said a lot of people are now waiting until election day to get a piercing.
An interesting sidebar: “Flash” is an Obama supporter, and his shop is located right next to the Adair County Republican Headquarters.
He says Democrats and Republicans are welcome to take advantage of his offer.
