Giveaway Contest Offers Free Tattoos of Man's Best Friend

by

Considering that dogs love us unconditionally, it’s no surprise that many dog ​​owners want to commemorate their furry friends with a permanent declaration of their love in return. That’s why BARK, the company behind monthly subscription service BarkBox, has launched its third annual tattoo giveaway to give away free dog-themed tattoos to people across the country.

The contest kicks off on August 20th, in conjunction with National Dog Day, and will run through September 6th, 2024. To enter, participants simply submit a photo of their dog and a short essay explaining why they think their pup is most deserving of having his or her image permanently tattooed on their body. Winners will receive a $150 prepaid gift card to use with an artist of their choice.

In its third year of the raffle, Bark has increased the number of winners from 100 to 200 after the 2022 contest received 16,000 entries, up from last year’s draw of 24,000. The contest was inspired primarily by BARK’s own dog-loving employees, many of whom have tattoos inspired by their own fur babies.

“We tattoo 100s of dog owners every year, and we continue to be amazed by the volume and heartwarming articles we receive,” Dave Stangle, BARK’s vice president of brand marketing, said in a statement. “At BARK, we’re a team of dog people who want to do anything with and for dogs, so we get it. We’ve received so many submissions over the years that we knew we had to help more dog lovers get the tattoo of their dreams.”

The company’s findings from previous years’ submissions include that 17% of respondents want a tattoo of their dog because they consider it their best friend, while 13% want a tattoo to honor a dog that recently died. Additionally, 950 people said they would feel safe getting a tattoo of their dog, and more than 260 people said they wanted their dog to be their first tattoo.
