Lockpick Entertainment announced the winner of the first annual Dreamlords World Tattoo Challenge is Lauren Bebbe with the tattoo "Karts With Fists".

Skövde, Sweden April 9 - Never could you expect the amount of tattooed gamers out there! The response to the Dreamlords World Tattoo Challenge was overwhelming and we are now pleased to announce the lucky winner and runner ups.

The challenge kicked off during last month¡¯s Game Developers Conference in San Francisco and participants were invited to either show up on site or
send in pictures through the official website.

After a lengthy, and quite difficult, process the almighty judges Jon Selin and The Swamp King has decided upon which tattooed gamer that will be the
world¡¯s first ever winner of the Tattoo Challenge.

Jon Selin, Lead Game Designer of Dreamlords: "It was really hard to pick the three winners but we managed in the end. I must say I am surprised by how many people that entered our competition but more so by how many that actually carry gaming related tattoos. Awesome."

The winner of Dreamlords World Tattoo Challenge is *drum roll* Lauren Bebbe with the tattoo "Karts With Fists"! What the jury said: ¡°The tattoo has exceptionally vivid colors and as well as a pleasant solidity. The motive is sufficiently advanced and has the ever so important personal touch.¡±

Lauren tells us: "My tattoo is titled Karts With Fists. The nom de guerre Karts With Fists was given to me along time ago to serve as a warning to whomever idled up to the starting line opposite me. It was indicative of the style of driving and tactics I would use to crush my opponents. I would bump people off of the track, pause then un-pause the game to disrupt one?s timing, I would shout right before someone made a crucial jump. All that was coupled with an ability to Kart so great, I was without equal. So my tattoo artist, Miracle Mike of Inkworks Tattoo in Fresno, California took four years to finalize the design and 8 hours to do the actual tattoo."

There can be only one winner, but honorable mentioning?s goes out to:
- Ben Braman
- Olivier Desanges
- Ray Perez
- Tony Etienne
