They say a dog is a man’s best friend, and what better way to honor that best friend with a tattoo you don’t have to pay for?
In celebration of National Dog Day on Friday, dog retail company Bark wants to pay people to get a tattoo of their beloved canine.
The contest, which opened Aug. 17, requires contestants to send a picture of their companion and tell why they want them to become a permanent mark on their body. The company also wants to know the dog’s name, breed/mix and their social media accounts if they have one.
From there, a panel of judges will evaluate each entrant and select 100 winners. Winners will receive a $150 Visa gift card, which can be used to get the tattoo, and a “big honkin’ box” of goodies worth $50 for your dog. Winners can select their own tattoo style and artist.
