Seattle Skin and Laser is partnering with The Stranger to give away one free tattoo removal. That's right: FREE. With this generous offer, I suggested this be an official SLOG CONTEST™. And since I am the proud owner of a regrettable tattoo (a stick-and-poke Tweety Bird™)—I'm making this an official WORST TATTOO CONTEST™

Email a photo and short description of your ugly tattoo to: worsttattoo@thestranger.com by next Wednesday, September 4th. I'll post the best, I mean, worst photo entries with an official poll, and YOU, SLOG, will vote for the winner. Rules and restrictions below.

Seattle Skin and Laser has been a Northwest leader in tattoo removal since 2008. Led by board certified dermatologist Kean Lawlor, MD, Seattle Skin and Laser provides a range of medical, cosmetic and surgical services. Dr. Lawlor is also a founding partner of BlinkTattooRemoval.com, a group of affiliate physicians committed to using only the safest, most state-of-the-art technology in a medical facility. Seattle Skin and Laser recently acquired the most powerful laser on the market for tattoo removal, the PicoSure.

UPDATE: Seattle Skin and Laser now also offering the contest's first runner-up 30% off, and second runner up 20% off. Send me your ugly tattoos!
