AICN gives away a Sideshow1:1 T-800 forearm! Here's something you'll give your right arm for!!!

Hey folks, Harry here with the latest contest to win something freakin' awesome. A Terminator 1:1 scale EndoSkeleton Arm from SideShow Collectibles and this is a tough one to make a contest for. I have been working on a bunch of different projects - most them involving creativity recently and my normally active "contest" brain was just pittered out. I actually toyed with just having it be an email ______ and then a random winner would be chosen. I mean - what makes sense?

I wanted it to be ARM related - but mortgages and weapons are just boring. This is a really great prize. An expensive one. One that could lead to the destruction of all mankind unless you find the nearest steel mill and throw it in. I mean, it's not everyday that a contest comes along that places the future of all mankind in your care, which could lead to you saving the world. That's a weighty responsibility to govern who gets it.

Then the phrase dawned on me. "Give your Right Arm" Yes, we're giving you a right Arm - it's only fair that we get yours. So - here's the contest. The Terminator was a biker right? Bikers dig tattoos, right? Well, here ya go. The contest is for the committed only. And think very clearly and without the aid of alcohol or drugs before joining this contest. And left arms will be accepted if... the right arm is filled with tattoos OR is missing. BUT...

By August 17th - I need you (if you're entering this contest you must be 18 or over) to send 3 photos to MyRightArm @ AintItCoolMail.Com.

All the photos must be under 100k each and be .jpg in form.

Photo one is of the blank canvas space upon your right arm. With something in the pic to establish that this was done some time between now and August 17th.

Photo two is of you in the tattoo shop chair having your arm tattooed.

Photo three is of the finished tattoo... immediately after the tattoo artist has finished.

Now - What do you have to Tattoo on your arm?

I thought about this... alot. And despite my tremendous ego - I could not attempt to coerce someone into inking their body with some AICN or HARRY KNOWLES type of thing. Rather - use this contest to mobilize into action that tattoo you always said you'd get, but were afraid you'd be labeled too big of a geek for getting it. Ultimately - don't get the tattoo - to win this Arm - get the tattoo because you always wanted the tattoo. Think of the Terminator Arm as the reward for finally living your dream.

That's right... The contest is to find the person reading this contest, that is most cleverly geeky. A tattoo that gets the biggest "holy shit that's cool" out of me wins. And ultimately everyone that enters wins cuz you'll have a great tattoo on your right arm to prove it. However, only one of you will walk away with the Terminator Endoskeleton Arm as your trophy for GEEKIEST COOL TATTOO done exclusively for this contest.

That doesn't mean it has to be huge, or Terminator related or AICN related or with tons of color. It is, what you make of it. So - if you're a geek. Always wanted a tattoo - never had the nerve to do it - but this is too cool of an excuse to pass up... well - here ya go. Go get that cool as hell geeky as underoos tattoo!

Here's the prize - can't wait to see your neato torpedo new tattoos! If you just want the arm - click the pic below and go grab it from Sideshow! And realize - you chose the quick and easy path you piece of Sith!






FYI for you "contest haters" SIDESHOW COLLECTIBLES does not set or have anything to do with the contest creation. They only donate the product, that we (AICN) then take inspiration from. Also - you... the winner of the contest (whomever you will be) be aware that it takes about 4-6 weeks for the delivery of the awesome T-800 Forearm and hand! The pics have begun coming in. Pretty eclectic - It's nice to see that people are really getting the tattoos that THEY always wanted. Still plenty of time, what tattoo would you get, if you were to get a tattoo?
