It’s said that bingo was invented almost a century ago, way back in 1929. If you have that number on your card, you’re a winner!

There can be different rules to the amount of numbers to match on your card, with some even requiring an entire card to be covered. Some serious bingo players may even use terminology that novices like myself don’t understand.

Drag Queen Bingo events are often held here in Australia – do you have them where you live? Maybe you could combine your love of bingo and the art of drag in your tattoo design?

A big bingo win could pay for your next tattoo. The question is, will the tattoo be bingo themed?

Bingo players take the game seriously. Don’t believe me? Watch this:
