The Great Friday the 13th Tattoo Experiment

Long time readers of this blog may recall <a href="http://tattoosday.blogspot.com/2009/03/friday-13th-tattoosday-adventure.html">this event</a>, when Friday the 13th  fell on my wife Melanie's birthday.<br /><br />I didn't get a Friday the 13th tattoo then, because we were celebrating for Melanie.<br /><br />This month we have another Friday the 13th, and I'm itching for my own little celebratory tattoo. <br /><br />But I want to include the Tattoosday community in this journey, and I want you to pay for it.<br /><br />Wait, hear me out. I've placed a PayPal badge on Tattoosday for people to make donations. A Friday the 13th piece is only twenty bucks ($13 for the ink plus $7 for tip). I've already budgeted for my older daughter's<br />birthday on Saturday, so all my funds are tied up. But, in exchange for contributions, I'll trade power. Contributors will get to decide, within reason, what tattoo I will get and where I will get it.<br /><br />So, assuming I get $20 in PayPal contributions today, whether it be $1 from 20 people, or $5 from 4 people, those patrons will have votes on what tattoo I get, and where.<br /><br />Those who contribute receive a vote per dollar and will get to select the flash (which I will email to contributors and try to post on the blog from the shop). You also get to vote on which limb will receive the ink.<br /><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiq8Onelrx6CjTpyGsumUB54L4yX8JwHPFcv4rlu3YDxUnn6pBaGhAmjgK2aiv-ibBwiBmHU2JlQiVKedCAlXYkqhvZwsHlqf9nK73B_oeXkL9Fduw9bD-pwmiC5iMzQCXMqyyt2j_C/s1600/13.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" height="292" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiq8Onelrx6CjTpyGsumUB54L4yX8JwHPFcv4rlu3YDxUnn6pBaGhAmjgK2aiv-ibBwiBmHU2JlQiVKedCAlXYkqhvZwsHlqf9nK73B_oeXkL9Fduw9bD-pwmiC5iMzQCXMqyyt2j_C/s400/13.jpg" width="400" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.handofglorytattoo.com/">Hand of Glory's</a> Flash from November 2009</td></tr></tbody></table><br />No face or neck tattoos, no designs of genitalia, but if you pay, you have a say. I'll get it, I'll report it and I'll share it.<br /><br />So, if you're interested, click on the Donate button on the left and secure your vote(s) through PayPal contributions.<br /><br />Think about it, if twenty of you contribute a dollar, you can participate cheaply in the inking of yours truly. If you don't contribute, and I don't achieve my funding goal, oh, what a boring day Friday will be for all of<br />us.<br /><br />The primary purpose of this experiment is  to see if it will work. If anyone out there is interested in seeing this work, please help out.<br /><br />Any questions, feel free to e-mail me or post them in the comments section.<br /><br />Thank you,<br /><br />Bill
