This is a joke, right? Or has F&S really gone that far down hill? Descended into idiocy? Let the dog guy be in charge of contests? Lost their minds? What? Please tell me this is a joke, hoax, or someone is trying to emulate Ed Zern by being totally outrageous.
My skin is a tatoo free zone and Mrs. Seadog is also tatoo free. I have nothing against them--I've seen some really cool looking tatoos. It just isn't my thing. I'll add that some are taking the "body modification" thing to some crazy extremes--have you seen that tiger guy with the whiskers or some of these guys with horns? Good for a laugh.
Just got my E-mail update from F&S. This is not a joke. I am sad the F&S has decided that they must descend to this level to appeal to that type of demographic. Have all the tattoos you want, but to put them on display in an "outdoors magazine?" I survived 58 years, a trip to scenic SE Asia, being an Airborne Soldier, and several goat ropins' without tattoos. I'm too set in my ways to change now, and you don't want to know what I think of tattoos on ladies!
Perhaps fifteen years from now National Lampoon magazine can run a segment on the F&S tatoos. Have a contest to see who can tell what the heck the tatoos done today are supposed to look like then. Should be worth a few yucks. Dennis Rodman will be looking like a garbage dump by then. No one's going to be laughing at any unsightly wierd-colored blotches on my body!
If you read the contest description you will find that F&S specifies tattoos that are of outdoor sports, so that would explain why this contest is in an outdoor magazine. I highly doubt that the contest was meant for or will allow non-outdoor type entries. If you were to browse through the current tattoo gallery that was posted with the contest, you would be able to note that NONE are non-outdoor related.
I believe what the F&S staff is trying to do is find out how many of it's readers "love the outdoor sports so much that you've inked them onto your body, permanently". Or maybe I just read that wrong.
I have a friend who gets his hunting dogs tattooed with ID info. Maybe I could get him to take some pics of those and send 'em in, and get the contest back on track. I could see the usefulness of that.... LOL
As for F&S doing things like this, they are rapidly losing me. I must not fit in their prime demographic they are shooting for as a reader.
I'll hate to see Petzal depart. He's one of the few bright spots left for me. The (F&S) content is rapidly heading towards lowest-common-denominator IMO.
I didn't get my first tat until I was 40. My next tat was a memorial for my son. It's photos of my son Chad and animals we harvested on our last three hunts together before he passed away. I am grateful to F&S for the contest and the opportunity to honor my son.

Go to this link or the F&S Homepage and it will come up on Photo Galleries on the left side scroll.

Hasnt this all been done before??

There's no ink on this hide but the Mrs. has been wanting something small for years. Maybe our next trip to Vegas.

If F&S has stooped this low they have lost my subscription. Bye Bye

Maybe their prime demographic includes booth babes with tatoo's. I bet Norcal Cazadora can enlighten us somewhat.
This is what, the 3rd year for the Tatoo Contest?

You will never find a tattoo on a lady, a 'tramp stamp' perhaps.
ckRich-
Don't care, won't look, no time to scroll through something ridiculous. I can find better ways to waste time.

Yessir, I figured that would be your response, and that's why I included all of that info in my previous post.
To each, his own...
I don't have a tattoo and my wife don't have one either but my neighbor will probably enter the contest!!!
weird trend, makes me feel like an old fart not with it.
explains the ad on the back of the mag?
