Riot Fest x Do312 present: The Worst Tattoo Contest Ever

Riot Fest x Do312 present:


The Worst Tattoo Contest Ever


IN PARTNERSHIP WITH:


“No Ragrets”? Doubt it. Riot Fest wants to see your worst tattoos for a chance to win Riot Fest 2025 VIP tickets, a tattoo removal gift card from Removery to get rid of your worst ink, and a Tattoo Factory gift card to get a fresh new piece (that hopefully isn’t the worst).


We’re talking bad linework, questionable ideas, regret-filled designs, or just something that didn’t age well. Whether it’s a stick-and-poke gone wrong, a misspelled lyric, or that “seemed like a good idea at the time” tattoo, we want to see it. Show us your worst tattoo for your shot at glory (and removal).


Prizes:


First Place:

• One pair of VIP 3-day passes to Riot Fest

Removery voucher for a complete removal of a single tattoo up to 88 sq. inches (valued at $4,800)

• $100 Tattoo Factory gift card


Second Place: One pair of 3-day GA passes to Riot Fest


Third Place: One pair of 3-day GA passes to Riot Fest

Step 2: Upload your photo below. (You may upload a maximum of 3 pictures from September 2 – 7)
