Years ago, tattoos were labeled as rebellious, scary, and taboo. But things have changed. Tattoos are the norm now. The ink trend has even made its way into contesting- we’ve seen a tremendous increase in tattoo contests over the last few years. You could run a “Best Tattoo” or “Best Design” contest, or a contest with a little twist, such as “My Worst Tattoo.”
