103 comments
The FIRST of TEN WINNERS in our What Would You Do for a BlackBerry Storm? Contest! Within the over 3,000 entries received for the the What Would You Do for a BlackBerry Storm? contest, a popular theme of entry that emerged was extreme brand loyalty, or in other words, showing off your love for BlackBerry and/or CrackBerry for the whole world to see. Enter the tattoo. Nothing screams more loyalty than a BlackBerry for Life! 187 CrackBerry Addicts said they would be willing to get a tattoo of the BlackBerry or CrackBerry logo (a few even said they'd get one of the device) for a FREE BlackBerry Storm. Of all these entries, it was T.J. from Toledo, Ohio, who's descriptive and over the top submission has now earned him a free BlackBerry Storm:
As if this awesome tattoo wasn't enough, you just gotta love how T.J. threw in the extra twist of having Apple Fanboy, Brian Krabach of Revelation Tattoos, be the one to do up the tattoo. You can almost see the tears in Brian's eyes. :-) Congrats T.J.!! You're a deserving winner and that is one Kick A$$ tattoo! CrackBerry Addict for life!!! You earned the bragging rights! You can watch T.J.'s video "evidence" above and check out the photo gallery after the jump! And you'll want to keep it locked to CrackBerry.com... we'll be posting all ten winning entries as they come in! The Ultimate BlackBerry Storm Tattoo

This was my idea, minus the apple fanboy and "iphone sucks". Well done. The tat looks great, enjoy the your storm.
1. Thanks to all who have congratulated me. You have proven that there are indeed some mature members on Crackberry.com.
2. The tattoo did not cost me a dime. I work at the shop.
3. To all of you critics, quit wasting your time typing your ridicule and mockery.
4. The tattoo looks the way it does because-
A) It is BRAND NEW and the skin is PISSED !!
B) Because of the location, it distorts depending on how
I have my leg positioned.
So to conclude, go ahead and make whatever comment you want. You are free to do so, but I am way above giving a F**K about what ANYONE thinks of me or what I do.
P.S. I GOT A FREE BLACKBERRY STORM AND YOU DIDN'T !!!!!!!
Well said T.J.
Seriously guys, over 180 people submitted to this contest that they would get a Tattoo for a free BlackBerry Storm. Singling out T.J. doesn't make any sense. If we didn't have a Tattoo winner people would be posting comments to the opposite effect.
And of the tattoo entries, T.J.'s was top notch! He said what he was willing to do for a BlackBerry Storm and did it!
Remember that golden rule - if you don't have something nice to say, then don't say thing at all. It's not that hard. Our standard forum rules apply to the blogs as well, so be mature and keep it clean. Our goal is to have a friendly community of BlackBerry Addicts here... we all share that common love for the CrackBerry!
Remember, still NINE more winners to come! Hoping the negative nancies won't be making anymore appearances on the comments in the days ahead.
Congrats again T.J.! CrackBerry Addict for life!!
- Kevin
Are you kidding me??? He works at the effing shop???
Way to go Kevin, pick someone who works at a tattoo shop, to get a tattoo...that feat truly defines the contest.
Hell, he was probably going to do it anyway...what a tool!
Oh please!! The fact that he works at a tatoo shop doesn't mean anything! He was smart, original and he WON, get over it!
I had submitted the same idea, with the blackberry and crackberry logo. I also said I would decal my car with it. But have to be honest the tattoo did not come out that nice, maybe add some color in there. Hope the storm launches here before the turn of the year. They are still selling locked 8800's for more then 800$+ so trust me any Indian guy deserves a free storm :)congrats again eagerly awaiting the remaining 9.
That tat looks hot!! =)
Totally something I would do for a free phone =)
Kudos, and enjoy the new crackberry!!! =)
Yea, I'm still regretting the gameboy tattoo I got 15 years ago :(
Definitely an addict but considering that devices are obsolete in a couple years this guy is nuts!
The tat isn't real.
.....Just Do That??
That is crazy!!!
I would so rather pay $1,000 even for a phone, than get a tattoo of one on my leg, lol.
That said, he got off cheap on this one. It should have been in full color :)
I wonder what the cover up tattoo will be after he gets his phone.
Wait a minute. How much did that tattoo cost? Doesnt seem worth it if you have to pay for the tat.
So unless that was Free or WAY CHEAP...my guess is he's pretty close to two-year price...and he doesn't have the phone yet...and he has an "awesome" tattoo...
I can't wait to see what the other idiots did...
Im from Toledo Ohio too an I WON one from Verizons Scavenger Hunt! Holy Toledo!
419 in the house i am from the glass city and that is how we represent. TJ you get mad points for that tat.But as for me i will be paying for my. But foreal give it up for that man!
Well maybe not, but why a tat of a device? Devices come and go and the latest ones will always be cooler, remember when people were drooling over the 7100. Now that one is fugly.
that was a unique way to enter (and win!) this contest - congrats! hope u enjoy both the tat n the phone.
what i don't get is, this tattoo probably cost about as much as it would for him to buy the storm..
That's awesome. did anyone even realize that the tattoo artist is wearing a iphone shirt? Odd... Really
he is an iPhone fan.....
I read in the article that the tattoo artist is an apple guy, then I saw him wearing the iphone shirt. I think he did that on purpose, like for mental support or something so the iphone won't feel betrayed lol.
SCREEN GAP! hahahaha Seriuosly though...well deserved...very unique and should give a fair amount laughs on the street when someone see's him walking by
The power of CRACKberry sums it up.
I never thought one would actually go and do it, just for a free phone. Guess it really is tough economic times, though I wonder if the tattoo cost money.
Good Sh** TJ!!! You totally deserve a Storm bro! When you get it make sure to go to the tat shop and show the artist what he's missing out on!
All I have to say is "WOW." I can't believe somebody would actually spend more money on something like this just to get a free phone. This tattoo probably cost more money that what the actually phone is going to sell for. This is some serious loyalty to RIM/Crackberry.
I'm not trying to be a horsesa$$, but the tattoo does look pretty crappy. I'd have just forked over the money for the phone...it couldn't have been that much cheaper.
To each his own, but I think this looks wicked! That is the nature of tattoos though. Some people love them and others hate them. Just like everything in life. I submitted a tattoo entry in the contest. I wish I would have been a bit more detailed like this guy. Totally has bragging rights.
Much love for Toledo! Rock on
:eek:
honestly, get a new tat artist...that thing came out like crap...ohh well, enjoy your phone
He likes apple, why would you want a "artist" to tattoo something he plays with more that his carreer.. CONGTRATS DUDE YOU HAVE A CRAP-TTOO.......
LEARN HOW TO SPELL BEFORE YOU TRY AND FLAME SOMEONE YOU UNEDUCATED TROGLODYTE !!!! What are you 4 ? Oh wait, I don't want to offend 4 year olds with better grammar than you. On top of that, your post doesn't even make sense !!
x2 ....... that tat looks like ass the lines suck the lettering sucks its awful
art work, for real. Good idea, like mine, but bad art.. The lines work is sloppy and the shade is alomst aiight.. But, its all good. Would rather grab a Dare anyways... After been compairing the iphone, dare, instinct, and storm.. For coming out later and having more time to do some really nice feature other than a touch screen. The Storm is dead last.. in all. and Brian dont you worry man iphone is killin it through and through. Making up for things that should have been released in the first place ie: bluetooth, video confrencing. Imma grab one. Even some BB TMo Techs brag about the iPhone.. lmao.. wow., good luck Crapberry
I think YOU are just jealous because he won for a tattoo and YOU didn't win for your tattoo submission. Nevermind all the HATERS on here. IT'S SWEET !!!!
I too submited a Tattoo idea, both the BB logo and the CB logo, so I would at first be like, snap, why did his idea get picked and NOT MINE.... but then realized, its a matter of choice.
I was submission, 136, so again surprised I wasnt choosen, but I AM NOT GOING TO SLAM this one, its great, and hope he is happy with the storm, and the Tattoo!
I have a Google Tattoo, XP tattoo, and a Office 2k7 tattoo.... ALL DONE FOR ME!! Not for the companies I choose to "support".
Get real Cad.... you loved the idea, you choose it yourself.... BUT THIS was FOR BB fans, not people just looking for a way to be cool, get something free and bragging rights, its for true HARDCORE BB adicts... you... are not.....
Been BB's since the 957's!! so its more than addiction its a lifestyle!! ;)
ivanmor
...to do that...
seriously.
kevin i think the correct term isn't kicka$$ lol it should be dumba$$ lmao!
To each his own!
The idea of the contest was to do something crazy for a Storm and this guy did it. He seems to have a lot of tattoos to begin with so I doubt he minds much especially since he is a CB users :)
Its not a crayon drawing. Its permanant, for life. Unless its going to be a cover up. I would be schedualing a cover up right afetr i recieved the phone.. lol
The n-word came up too many times in the vid for me!
And for that, I apologize. It was out of my hands though. There were a couple of idiots hanging out while their friend was getting tattooed expressing their feelings about the election. They were imbeciles.
Yeah... I'm nowhere near winning this one. Too bad the tattoo will outlast the blackberry by... let's see: remaining lifespan of the winner minus 1 to 2 years of storm usage = ouch!
i think the tat looks great! congratulations on winning. I did how ever think that it would be something wild and crazy not something simple like a tat that would win it. oh well congrats man!
and like the others what did you pay?

Have we really gotten to the point where people disrespect their body's so much they have to use the as live billboards to get attention?
Pathetic.
Maybe you should focus on your poor grammar and English before you start throwing stones at other people. It's HIS body, this didn't hurt you at all, so frak off! If you don't like it, don't look at the thread!
If you look closely, the outline at the bottom of the phone isn't even straight....sorry but had to throw that in too.
I think my non-winning idea was much better, but as with all other the contests I've entered on here...I've come up empty.
I can't wait to see what other brilliant ideas were chosen...
man this guy is a douche...i rather pay $300 than get such a regrettable tat..what a dumbass! oh by the way the tat sucks...you should look for a new artist..
Congrats homie... A tatoo is whatever you want it to be. I caught alot of slack because I got a giant Tat of a comic book character on my arm. I just hope it was free, unless you were gonna get a tat anyways of the storm. I would have made the CB logo the actual color. Good Shyt...
congrats.. you deserve a free storm for that!!
