Man promises to get Angela Merkel tattoo on his butt for 10,000 upvotes, delivers

Because the internet.

If you make promises for internet points, you'd better be prepared to keep them.

Just ask Redditor u/Errk_fu. Last month, he shared a sketch of German Chancellor Angela Merkel alongside a very specific commitment: if the post got upvoted 10,000 times, he'd get her tattooed onto his butt.

Unsurprisingly, Reddit came through. 26,935 upvotes later and the moderator had posted a stickied comment to the thread, stating that u/Errk_fu would be permabanned if he failed to deliver.

Luckily, he didn't fail to deliver.

Last week, u/Errk_fu started a new thread: the cheerfully titled "Mutti Booty Tat Time".

As the procedure got underway, he posted the following four images as proof in an Imgur gallery (scroll through to see the tattooing in action):

CARD ID: 226776, CARD TYPE: Imgur

It's a strange, strange world.
