Pure Gold Tattoo

Pure Gold Tattoo

Reuters reports that an entrepreneur in Dubai is now offering 24-carat gold tattoos. For $50 you can get one of the more simple designs but more elaborate ones go for $5,500. The gold body art reportedly lasts for about a week.

Gold is becoming wildly popular and people are finding ever more creative and interesting uses for the malleable yellow metal. Who knows, perhaps one day someone will come up with a really crazy use for gold, like as money or something.

What is the Mises Institute?

The Mises Institute is a non-profit organization that exists to promote teaching and research in the Austrian School of economics, individual freedom, honest history, and international peace, in the tradition of Ludwig von Mises and Murray N. Rothbard. 

Non-political, non-partisan, and non-PC, we advocate a radical shift in the intellectual climate, away from statism and toward a private property order. We believe that our foundational ideas are of permanent value, and oppose all efforts at compromise, sellout, and amalgamation of these ideas with fashionable political, cultural, and social doctrines inimical to their spirit.
