Man Gets Incredible VB Tattoo On His Stomach And Reenacts The Brand's Classic Ad

An Aussie bloke has reenacted a Victoria Bitter commercial after getting a huge tattoo of the brand's logo on his stomach.

When you love something as much as this bloke clearly loves VB, then why not immortalise it on your body for everyone to see?

Mika Ryan, who owns Mika Tattoos in Melbourne, Australia, knew he was getting an interesting customer when he saw Darren walk in to his parlour.

He's told LADbible: "So I was sitting there after work and this guy walks in saying he's been knocked back by another shop to get a giant VB symbol tattooed on his stomach.

"I said, 'Mate, I'll do it for you, no worries. Just lay down a deposit and I'll book you in.'"

Mika has had loads of people come into his shop and ask for bizarre designs, who never end up coming back in to get the ink done.

But not Darren.

Mike continued: "I did notice that this dude had 'cannonball' tattooed across his chest so I was optimistic he would show up.

"This dude is a solid 10 Russell Coights. [He] sat there and watched UFC with me while I blasted his guts and punched beers with me.

"[He] didn't make a f**king peep. After the tattoo, I pitched the idea of doing a funny video with it for the lulz. He was down and went and bought more beers... didn't have to twist his arm much clearly."

The pair then worked hard to capture the beauty, the artistry and the thirstiness that are encapsulated in a Victoria Bitter commercial.

Mika started playing the legendary notes that ring out at the start of the brand's ads and got Darren to crack open a cold one, then drink the amber lager with a smile and show off his new ink.

You only need a Burger with the Lot and a lamington in either hand to make this the most Australian image imaginable.

Mika continued: "I showed him the video and the photos - he pissed himself laughing and he said, 'I gotta show my wife.'"

Now, you might be thinking his partner would get a shock to the system when she opened her phone and saw her hubby's new tattoo, but apparently she 'loved it'. The customer seemed even more stoked when he got his wife's approval.

Mika is now hoping VB will send Darren a few beers for being a walking advertisement.
