Inked Originals: $25K, a Tattoo by Bang Bang, and Inked Magazine Fame

Colossal launches the 2025 competition that has tattooed storytellers nationwide putting their body art in the spotlight for a shot at ink immortality.

PHOENIX, April 28, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Tattoos aren’t trends. They’re timelines. And the stage is officially set for storytellers of all styles to make their mark. Colossal, the nation’s leading professional fundraiser, announces that it has opened registration for the 2025 Inked Originals competition, inviting tattooed individuals from across the nation to step into the spotlight and show the world what their body art really means to them.

 

This isn’t your average competition—it’s a full-blown celebration of identity, artistry, and the stories people wear on their skin.

The Prize Pack is Stacked

  • $25,000
  • A private session with Bang Bang, the artist behind Rihanna’s and Bieber’s legendary pieces
  • A professional photoshoot and two-page feature in Inked Magazine

More Than Ink—This Is Immortality in Print

Founded in 2004, Inked Magazine has become the voice of modern tattoo culture. The champion of Inked Originals won’t just be featured—they’ll be immortalized in a two-page spread that highlights their artistry, passion, and personal ink journey.

“We’re not talking some quick-hit social feature. We’re talking high-gloss, double-page, legacy-level exposure in the publication that defines modern tattoo culture,” said Mary Hagen, Colossal CEO.

The Studio Session: A One-of-a-Kind Collaboration with Bang Bang

Bang Bang isn’t just another artist—he’s the blueprint. Described by Vogue as “the most famous tattoo artist in the world, or, better yet, tattoo artist to the most famous in the world,” he has tattooed some of the biggest names in pop culture, including Rihanna, Justin Bieber, and Selena Gomez. His Lower East Side studio in New York City is a mecca for custom, next-level body art, where precision, vision, and creative freedom converge.

The 2025 Inked Originals champion will earn the rare opportunity to collaborate with the master himself on a bespoke piece.

Purpose With Power: Benefiting The B+ Foundation

Behind every tattoo is a story—and behind this competition is a cause that matters. The Inked Originals competition is a fundraising campaign that supports The Andrew McDonough Be Positive Foundation, which provides financial and emotional assistance to families battling childhood cancer. Since 2022, Colossal has helped support over 4,100 families across the country in partnership with B+ Foundation.

Creative Fuel from the Queen of Ink: Ryan Ashley

Competitors will get exclusive access to the artistry and insight of Ryan Ashley, Ink Master champion and co-owner of Elysium Studios. Known for her intricate black-and-gray work that fuses lace, armor, and symbolism, Ryan brings both edge and elegance to every piece. Her mentorship is electric, helping artists sharpen their vision and elevate their creative game.

BLUETTI Apex 300 and Full Ecosystem In-Person Debut at Media Day: Innovation Meets Sustainability

SHENZHEN, China, April 25, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Global clean energy leader BLUETTI, unveiled for the first time the complete Intelligent Ecosystem built around its new flagship—the Apex 300, a sustainable and versatile power station. The debut took place during the Media Day of Global Connect Innovation Week hosted by  iMpact Communications, offering global media an exclusive preview of the full accessory lineup that transforms the Apex 300 into a truly all-scenario energy hub.

More than just a product launch, the event fostered real dialogue and meaningful connections with media from around the world—a step forward in BLUETTI’s ongoing mission to make sustainable energy solutions more accessible, versatile, and deeply human-centered.

Innovation—Smarter Ecosystem for Real-World Living

At the event, BLUETTI walked media professionals through real-life use cases powered by its innovative Intelligent Ecosystem—showcasing how the Apex 300 becomes a tailored energy solution across a wide range of scenarios.

  • For modern homes, the Hub A1 Parallel Box allows the Apex 300 to scale up with ease—linking up to three units and supporting up to 18 B300K Expansion Batteries for a full week of dependable emergency power. When combined with the Reliance Sub Panel and AT1 Smart Distribution Box, the system unlocks seamless, fully automated whole-home backup while helping reduce electricity bills through peak shaving and load shifting—making clean energy not just reliable, but cost-effective too.
  • For outdoor adventures and RV living, BLUETTI’s foldable solar panels are easy to carry, quick to deploy, and work seamlessly with the Apex 300 to capture energy on the go. Taking versatility to the next level, the all-new Hub D1 DC Hub delivers 700W of reliable output—including a secure 600W Anderson port—allowing RVers to power multiple devices at once without overload concerns, making it a perfect companion for the solar generator for RVs.
  • For off-grid cabins or homes already equipped with rooftop solar and inverters, the SolarX 4K Solar Charge Controller connects easily with minimal setup required for home battery backup. Even better, it helps the Apex 300 achieve an industry-leading 2-year payback—keeping upfront investment low while delivering maximum long-term value.

Sustainability, Not as a Trend—but as a Foundation

At BLUETTI, sustainability was never a catchphrase—it’s the heart of the brand. From the initial product development to the company’s core values, every step has been grounded in this commitment.

The Apex 300 didn’t emerge from a boardroom brainstorm—it came from listening. Listening to families facing blackouts, to travelers chasing sunrises, and to communities needing power beyond the grid. The vision was simple: create a power solution that goes where people go, adapts when life shifts, and stays with them—year after year.

With just 20W standby power consumption, the Apex 300 Portable Power Station is 40% more efficient than its peers. Inside, it houses a second-generation automotive-grade LFP battery, designed to last up to 17 years. These aren’t just numbers—they’re a sincere promise. A promise that clean energy should be dependable, long-lasting, and always within reach.

About BLUETTI  

BLUETTI is a dedicated advocate for sustainability, integrating ESG principles throughout product design and corporate initiatives. Through impactful projects like LAAF (Light An African Family), BLUETTI provides affordable, sustainable energy solutions to communities across Africa. By partnering with Leave No Trace, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, BLUETTI supports responsible outdoor recreation through clean energy solutions that minimize environmental footprints. This blend of craftsmanship, reliability, and a focus on real-world needs is what makes BLUETTI trusted in over 110 countries and regions.
