For those of who check out the Rome SDS Blog from time to time, you may or may not remember a little bet between a couple in-house guys over here. If you don’t recall, Ron bet Shawn Dumont, one of the in-house graphic designers here at Rome, that he couldn’t quit smoking. If Shawn did smoke, he had to get a henna lower back tattoo to shame him during the summer months. (We pushed for a real tattoo, but his bottom lip started to quiver… so we let him off.)

Well, Shawn’s back to rifling butts like a steam stack, and summer may have passed, but there’s no way he’s getting off the hook completely. Since he’s welched for a few months on the LBT, AKA, lower back tattoo, we figure that the interest paid on the overdue bet will be a more public humiliation… so we’re putting the design in your hands.

Here’s what you have to do:

- Design an ORIGINAL 1 color lower back tattoo for Shawn

- Make it horrible

- Entries must be in by Feb 22nd 2010

- Email the design to Winner@romesnowboards.com

From there we’ll choose a winner and have a henna joint put your art above his ass crack. Of course we’ll provide photos for all to see to enhance the humiliation.

We’ll also be hooking the winner up with a prize pack of goodies designed by Shawn Dumont, including a signed print of board art he’s done, the Blast Movement gloves, the Damned Wallet, the Break belt buckle, the Zap T in a large, and some Bushwood Gloves.
