Tattoo Session Giveaway

Sponsor and promotion period

This giveaway is sponsored by Inked & Awkward. It starts on August 24, 2026 at 12:00 AM CDT and ends on December 24, 2026 at 11:59 PM CST. The drawing is scheduled for December 31, 2026 at 12:00 PM CST.

Who can enter

Open to people who are at least 18 years old and eligible under the following region rule: legal residents of the United States only. Void where prohibited. Employees of the sponsor and anyone involved in running this promotion may not enter.

How purchase entries work

Every purchase qualifies. For each complete $10 of qualifying merchandise subtotal after discounts and before tax and shipping, you receive one entry. No rounding up: $19.99 earns one entry. There is no per-person entry cap. The site shows a checkout preview; the qualifying amount and entry count are calculated from the server-validated order.

Free alternate method of entry

No purchase is necessary. Use this free method instead: Instagram DM. Send a direct message to @inkedandawkwardofficial on Instagram asking for a free entry, and include your full name in the message. One request per person per day.

The account is @inkedandawkwardofficial on Instagram. Each request receives 1 entry, and requests must be sent by December 24, 2026 at 11:59 PM CST.

Purchase entries and alternate-method entries go into the same drawing pool. Buying does not improve the odds of any individual entry. Odds depend on the number of valid entries received.

Prizes

There are 3 winners. Each winner receives two hours of tattoo time with one of the three featured artists, with an approximate value of $400. The first winner chooses one participating artist, the second winner chooses from the two remaining artists, and the third winner receives the last remaining artist.

• Killian Huckstead — 2-hour session in Tuscola, IL (@killsworth_; @vintagekarmatattoos)
• Kylie Lesko — 2-hour session in Westville, IL (@ky_tattoosx3; @dreamers.ink.tattoo)

Prizes expire on December 31, 2027. Booking terms: Winners book directly with their artist, and sessions follow the shop's normal policies. The prize has no cash value and cannot be transferred or exchanged.

Drawing, notice, and forfeiture

Winners will be selected by random drawing from all eligible entries. The sponsor will contact each potential winner by email, or by reply to the Instagram direct message that submitted the entry. A potential winner must respond within 7 days. If a potential winner does not respond, is ineligible, or cannot accept the prize, the prize is forfeited under this rule: a replacement winner is drawn at random from the remaining eligible entries.
