Has pushed back the release date of his third studio album, "L.A.X.", from July 8 to July 22, The Game already planned a celebration to mark the release of the LP, getting a new tattoo. Instead of designing himself or asking the tattooist do design one for him, the hip hop artist is asking fans to design him one.

The tattoo should be inspired by the album's title, it's been claimed. Some tattoo image ideas have been posted on The Game's page on imeem.com.

Fans who are interested to contribute their tattoo image ideas can submit them on the site. The Game himself will select his favorite and get the tattoo attached to his body before "L.A.X." hits the stores on July 22.

Speaking about the delay of "L.A.X." release date, The Game explained that the push back idea actually came from his label, Interscope's president, Jimmy Iovine. "Jimmy Iovine slammed the gavel. We was supposed to go on [July] 8th, but at this point, I really don't give a f**k when the album comes out," so he stated.

He continued saying, "A week later, two weeks later, a month later, people [are] gonna wait on 'L.A.X.' 'cause it's probably the biggest record of the year. When it comes, it comes. Every time they push it back, I make sure to let everybody know."

Notwithstanding with the delay, the LP's first single "Game's Pain," featuring R&B vocalist Keyshia Cole, is already out to radio stations and has reached No. 26 on Billboard's Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs Chart at press time.
