July 2015 Tattoo of the Month Contest

[marley mission]

bring back the contest!

bring back the contest!

I agree but I also feel the name of the artist should not be revealed until AFTER a winner is chosen. Just my opinion.

[polliwog]

That's an interesting idea...another issue is tattoos that get posted at the start of the month having a better chance of winning. But this isn't exactly objective...

I think that's an interesting suggestion, although I don't know how helpful it might be. Oftentimes people already know based on the upcoming thread, instagram, or any number of other things. I'd be very curious to see how voting or reactions may be different based on knowing the artist or not.

i'd love to see the return of the contest

i thought it was perfect before

i only wish i had participated more

as i think the low participation was one of the reasons for stopping it

Maybe the contest could run every so often, once there are a certain number of entries, which are then revealed all at once. I like the idea of not posting the artist's name until afterwards.

I would like to see this start again now that there has been a break for a while.

in my honest opinion, I think it does tend to sway people.

yeah but by the time the tattoo hits the contest - people already know who did it because its been on the IG or in the Latest Lowdown - I don't think its a bg factor - besides - its more of a fun thing anyhow - no?
