Winner announced the same day.
How to enter
Send us a video message telling us why you should be the one inked a Jaguars fan for life.
- Instagram DM to @sportsmaniausa, or a message to our Facebook Page.
- Include your full name and a phone number or email so we can reach you.
- Send a normal video — not a view-once or vanish-mode message. Those delete themselves and can’t be judged.
- One entry per person. If you send more than one, we judge the first.
No purchase. No payment. No follow, like, share, tag or repost required. Entering is free and following us does not affect judging. You must be 18 or older.
Prefer not to use social? Hand-deliver a video on a USB drive, or a written entry of 200 words or fewer, to Sports Mania, 1246 3rd St S, Jacksonville Beach, FL 32250 during the entry period. Judged on the same criteria, same chance of winning.
How it’s judged
This is a contest of skill, not a drawing. Two independent judges — one from Sports Mania, one artist from Bold City Tattoo — score every entry out of 100:
- Strength and sincerity of the story — 40%
- Jacksonville / Duval authenticity — 25%
- Creativity and effort of the video — 20%
- Understanding that the tattoo is permanent, and wanting it anyway — 15%
The prize
One custom Jaguars-inspired tattoo, designed and applied by an artist at Bold City Tattoo, 8380 Baymeadows Rd #9, Jacksonville, FL 32256 — by appointment, on a date you arrange with the shop. Size, placement and session length are agreed between you and the artist. Bold City Tattoo provides the prize and performs the tattoo; Sports Mania runs the contest.
Before you enter any round
A tattoo is permanent and cannot be undone. Don’t enter unless you want a permanent tattoo.
You must be 18+ with valid photo ID, and you sign the tattoo shop’s own consent and release forms before any work begins. You can change your mind at any point before the needle touches skin, for any reason, and take a Sports Mania store credit of equivalent value instead. Nobody will be pressured to go through with it.
Every round has its own Official Rules, and those rules govern — the partner shop, the prize, the deadline and the entry method can all change from round to round. Read the current round’s rules before you enter. Open to US residents 18+ who can travel to Jacksonville, FL. Void where prohibited.

New rounds are announced on Instagram @sportsmaniausa, on our Facebook Page, and in store at 1246 3rd St S, Jacksonville Beach, FL 32250 — (904) 242-0640.
