Some have written and have said they are unclear on how to vote for the Dream winner.

Once on the voting page you can read the four finalists’ stories. Chose the finalist you want to vote for by clicking the button next to chosen finalist.

From there you must go the the bottom of the voting page and click the “vote” button for your vote to be counted.

If you don’t click that button, your vote cannot be cast.

Thanks to everyone who already voted.

The Skin&Ink Dream Tattoo Contest has officially closed to entries. Thanks to all who entered.

The amount of entries was overwhelming and the stories of the dream tattoos of our readers were incredible to read.

Look for the finalists to be announced in an upcoming issue of Skin&Ink and make sure to vote for your favorite dream tattoo story.

Thank you to everyone who entered the Skin&Ink Dream Tattoo Contest so far. We have received a lot of responses, and the stories you are all telling for your reasons for wanting your dream tattoo have been touching, enlightening and moving.

I think this contest is going to be a huge success and we look forward to awarding the $500.00 prize to our winner in an upcoming issue.

Please know that it is still not to late to enter. Click on the banner to the left (or the banner in this post) and tell us the story of the tattoo you have always wanted. Tell us about the person or event that has inspired you to want this dream tattoo. You can also tell us who you would choose to give you your dream tattoo.

We will pick four finalists and let the S&I readers decide who will get their dream tattoo.

Read more about the contest in the October 2010 of Skin&Ink, which is on sale now.

All entries need to be in by September 15.

Good Luck!
