Show Us Your Worst Tattoo Contest

Show Us Your Worst Tattoo Contest

September 2, 2025 (September 8, 2025) // Riot Fest

“No Ragrets”? Doubt it. Do312 and us want 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.

We’re talking bad line work, 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).

We’ve got our finalists! Time to vote! Starting on September 9 at 12:00pm CDT, you can vote once per day for your favorite tattoo out of the semi-finalists. Voting ends September 14 at 12:00pm CDT.

Winners will be announced on September 15.

VOTE HERE

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
