A Dutch radio presenter is going to have the image of a computer folder icon with the words “porno” underneath tattooed on his body after he jokingly agreed to do it if the idea got 500,000 likes.

Bram Krikke, 25, who started a radio career with SLAM radio after running his own YouTube channel and let his girlfriend draw the folder on his chest which he then photographed for his 937,000 Instagram followers.

But when somebody challenged him to make it a real tattoo when he got 500,000 likes, he foolishly agreed.

He said: “I thought, f*** it. The old national record on Instagram stood at 470,000 likes. 500,000 is not feasible.”

However he soon learned the error of his ways when within a day, it reached 460,000 likes and then shortly after that topped 500,000.

Asked whether he regretted it he said: “I have already accepted it, but I’m still stunned that happened so quickly.”

He said he knew if he didn’t get it done it would haunt him for the rest of his life, but it just hasn’t worked out where to put it. He said his girlfriend might also regret using eyeliner to create the original that started all she will now have to look at it everyday they are together.

He added that tattoo shops will close at the moment anyway because of the lockdown, but he said he would be first in queue once they were open again.

But he did learn one lesson, saying he wouldn’t react on the spur of the moment to such challenges in the future. He said: “Next time, I’ll think about it three times.”
