INKED Magazine Teams up with The Smiths for Tattoo Contest

In conjunction with their upcoming release of classic and rare tracks by the 80s UK rock band - The Smiths - Inked Magazine is hosting a contest, looking for fans with some kind of tattoo in dedication to the band or a member of the band. If you're not from the UK or the 80s, you might not be familiar with this band - I have to admit that I wasn't. But I did recognize one of their songs; if anyone was a fan of the TV show "Charmed," you'll recognize the show's theme song - How Soon is Now - among The Smiths' discography. But their influence on all modern rock is evident when you read their history, whether you've actually heard their music or not, and they do still have a very loyal fan base. Inked Magazine is looking for that loyal fan base.

The deadline to enter the contest is November 30, so if you have a Smith's tattoo, submit it soon for your chance to win a copy of the UK release, THE SMITHS SINGLES BOX. Even though The Smiths are a UK band, the contest is only open to residents of the USA and Canada. see the website for more details. You can see the entries so far on the Inked mag website.
