Tattoosday's Bonafide Bags Giveaway!


Last month I enviously watched as the good folks over at TattooSnob had a contest in which they gave away some really cool items from Bonafide Bags. I reached out to the good people at Bonafide and asked if they'd like to do something with our readers, and they were very receptive to the idea.

So check these out:

Bonafide's Japanese Koi (left) and Traditional (right) Designs

Bonafide's American Pride (left) and Day of the Dead (right) Designs

They're very sturdy and look really cool - perfect for a trip to the supermarket or the beach. They're made from recycled plastic and my lovely bride is already rocking her Japanese Koi bag. There are two sizes of each design. Check out Bonafide's website here for more product specifics, including close-up views, as well.

How do you win a set? Leave a comment on the post below and winners will be randomly selected and receive a matching set of these Bonafide Bags. That's one large all purpose bag and its matching lunch/gift bag counterpart, or a $15.00 value. I have three sets of each of the four designs, so that's twelve winners in all.

Now, let's see if we can outdo the readers at TattooSnob. They garnered 63 comments/entries in their giveaway, so our goal is 70 reader comments by Saturday, February 19, at 11:59 PM, EST. Tell us which one is your favorite design, or any other related comment, and you'll be eligible to win!

Note: I have a filter on comments so if you don't see it right away, it's because I need to approve each submission to make sure it's not spam.

    They're all great, but my favorite of the four shown is Day of the Dead.

    Love your blog! I've been following it for quite some time now.

    The koi and day of the dead bags are incredible! I've been following your blog for over a year now, love it! I have three tattoos myself but sadly live nowhere near NYC.

    Nothing better than patriotism in a tattoo - the bag reflects it!

    The Day of the Dead bag is amazing. The bright colors and the way things are positioned makes it look surreal.

    The Koi and American Pride bags are spiffy, but they're all pretty cool. Hands down, way better looking that the black Walmart bags I have now...

    I'm more a traditional girl, so I favor Bonafide's Traditional print. I would LOVE to get one myself and give some as gifts. I do believe a trip to their website is in order...

    Excellent blog, by the way! If you're tired of snow, come to SanAntonio, Tx - plenty of ink & lots of sunshine to show it off.
    Happy spotting!
