This is pretty cool – the alcohol company TY KU is showing some well-deserved respect to the tattoo community by putting on a contest to find someone with tattoos to place in their next national ad campaign. I hope it’s not plagerism or something, but I just copied and pasted this from their myspace page:

TY KU invites you to “Show Us Your Skin” and win a National Ad Campaign for TY KU, featuring YOU!

TY KU welcomes you to spend some time not only submitting your own image and enjoying the images of other beautiful individuals, but learning more about Asian-inspired tattoos and their wonderful history at http://TryTYKU.com/skin.

In addition to gaining National exposure being showcased in a TY KU ad, the winner will also receive a TY KU party in their honor at their Tattoo shop of choice and a premium TY KU gift package.

All Finalists will also receive a premium TY KU gift package.

The contest is open to submissions until January 30th, 2009, after which, TY KU’s Celebrity Judging Panel will each choose their favorite image and create The Finalists. Images of The Finalists will prominently be showcased on http://TryTYKU.com/skin as well as in events and promotions around the US. Voting will then be open to the public to determine the ultimate winner, who will be crowned victorious and celebrate in true TY KU style!
