We decided to pull the original proposal. But launched a new one through crowdfunding website Pozible. http://www.pozible.com.au/index.php/archive/index/1155/description/0/8234 . But not looking too good at this stage mind you there is still 48 hours.. This one is heaps more fun though!

Wow, what an honor to have you comment! Any feedback I get, I'll share... I can't imagine a tattoo that has meaning to you would be an issue. Also, I think a small tattoo of a sponsor's logo wouldn't be bad, if it was small. I don't know for sure, but I've found that so long as an image isn't prominent, then it's okay.... In media interviews I think you're free to do as you please, of course. Also, if your tattoo/logo was considered an artistic work, that might put you in the clear with the IOC--perhaps a logo that's a variation of a sponsor's logo...just thinking out loud.... Please keep us posted on your journey. This is an evolving story and new territory in the Olympic world. Feel free to email me @:

Hi guys thanks for the information. Nothing has happened yet so it is great having this feedback now. Obviously I have never done anything like this before so its a big learning curve either way. I can totally understand why the IOC would ask me to cover up any pictures that were deemed commercial to protect their interests, but what if I chose a picture that simply had meaning to me? And would they ask other athletes to cover up tattoos also? I would still have the right to 'be myself' in all other media interviews though etc. What I love about this is that everyone has already seen us there and is now trying to figure out what would happen. I think I will alter the proposal after getting feedback. But if you have info you could freely share with me to help I'd really appreciate it. www.dreamcentralmedia.com.au or email clk{@]student.usc.edu.au
