I am not normally one to bitch. I entered the contest, not with my best gnr tattoo but thought. What the hell its random. Then they pick that tat!!! come on! Random my ass! Sorry I think it was a bad deal too. would have really liked one of the good tats too win.

I saw the fb post about the winner yesterday and was disgusted by the comments. Talk about sore losers! Geesh! What ever happened to being happy for someone else winning something?? I'd hate to see these people on the day the lottery numbers get picked!

Like I said, im stoked for the person who won, bit I dont know how random, random was. I will say it was not the best tat there, (imo almost all the ones with alot of votes were not the best). But the contest wasnt for the best tattoo either. regardless, even if it was for most votes, I wasnt gonna sit there & make fake fb accounts all day to win anyway. The fact is we all wanted to win. I just hope the winner has a great time!

I'm not pissed at the winner, I'm pissed at the people who put on the contest for not following their own rules.

Most people are not bitching. And I am one of them. But Hard Rock did this in poor taste. If the guy one legitimately good for him.

OK, so after writing every employee at the Hard Rock and AEG, someone from AEG wrote me back today. I'm satisfied with their response.

Ok, there must be something I'm missing here. What rule didn't they follow? Didn't they pick a winner at random?

No, the originally picked the guy who had the most votes, which is why people were so upset.

Ok, gotcha. I wasn't trying to be a smart ass, I really didn't know what happened.

So, what's the deal then? Did they revoke the prize and give it to someone else?

I think they just awarded an additional prize. Revoking one would cause a shit storm in itself.

Ok yeah, that's what I was thinking.


Well, I guess it's good of them to have attempted to correct themselves at least.
