Вчера на официальном форуме появилось сообщение от Тарьи:

Hi dear fans!

Some time ago we proposed a couple of contests. One of them, about “kids photos”.

It is obvious that we were not clear in the way we announced the contest. There was not any further explanation why I wanted to do it, so it might have gotten misunderstood.

Through the years I have received many letters and photos from happy parents showing their daughters that have been named Tarja after me. I even met some of them. The purpose of the contest was just to thank them for doing it and to show them my appreciation. Definitely it never crossed my mind to push anybody to name his or her daughter as Tarja to win a contest

This contest might have not been a good idea in any way, so I decided just to cancel this contest right away.

But the second contest about the Tattoos is still fine (and fun for me) and I will announce and call the winners next week. Once again, I never meant to force you to do a Tarja tattoo...

So if you have a tattoo, please send your photo. If you don’t have one, you definitely do not need to do one

I hope you all are fine.

With love, Tarja
