Some bands have had a lot of luck with crowd-sourcing their albums. Protest The Hero raised over a quarter of a million dollars recently for their new album, and clearly that's given people some ideas.
Now, As I Lay Dying frontman Tim Lambesis is seeking funds to record and tour with his side project, Austrian Death Machine and he is offering one of the more ridiculous offers for people who donate… he will get your initials tattoo'd on his ass!

Here are some of the more interesting offers:
- For $69, you can punch Tim in his washboard abs.
- For $99, Tim will be your personal trainer for a session while Tim is on the road, for $500 he'll train you for a month!
- For $250, Tim will wear a shirt with your face on it on stage.
- For $1500, you can sing on gang vocals on the new Austrian Death Machine album
- For $5000, Tim will get your initials tattoed on his butt, with the description adding "maybe you can hold Tim's hand while he's under the needle"
At this point, I feel it's safe to say that is the most ridiculous offer for an Indiegogo campaign I've ever seen. If any of these catch your eye, or if you'd just like to pre-order the new ADM album, visit the Indiegogo campaign page here.
