If you want the most affordable way to show your local pride permanently, Jeppson's Malort has a contest with a prize that might be easier to stomach than a shot of their popular elixir. The polarizing spirit just announced a contest to win a free Malort tattoo. All you have to do to enter is write down 250 words or less on why you are the best person on earth to receive a free Malort tattoo.

Those who are camera shy might want to pony up cash and pay for a tattoo instead. The stunt will be featured in an upcoming documentary (possibly on Malort we hear). Local artist Pony Lawson will provide the work. If you need some new ink or want to commit your first tattoo to something local (and on the house) submit your entry to info@jeppsonsmalort.com as soon as possible. The winner will be announced next Friday, Jan. 17 at 3 p.m. Jeppson’s already shared with us that three people have volunteered to have it tattooed in their “bathing suit area” so bring your A-game if you plan on applying.

If you are really all in for local tattoos, might we suggest a Hot Doug’s motif as well thrown in the mix? We hear you get free hot dogs for life that way. Also we’re pondering if Brad Bolt is kicking himself for not waiting or planning on applying for Malort tattoo number two.
