A promise is a promise.
And for one Texas Longhorns fan, that meant getting a tattoo that is almost certain to be a one-of-a-kind piece of art.
It all started back in September, when a Twitter user aptly named @Shroombrain_ (who lists their location as Austin, Texas) tweeted the following…
“If Texas wins the big 12 I will get a tattoo of Steve Sarkisian’s mountain peak haircut. @LonghornLads.”
Fast forward three months and the Longhorns not only won the Big 12, but they also qualified for the College Football Playoff for the first time in program history.
Now, @Shroombrain_ is a person of their word. So they followed through on the bet, which alluded to Sarkisian’s pointy hairdo, and the result was absolutely incredible.

The new artwork, which sits above what appears to be a tattoo about the Billy Joel song “Say Goodbye To Hollywood,” features the words “Big 12 Champs 2023-forever” under a haircut that can only be described as resembling the one donned by Jimmy Pesto Sr. of the hit show Bob’s Burgers.
Above the haircut is the words “climbed the mountain.”
Credit to @Shroombrain_. It takes a lot of nerve to follow through with something so ridiculous. But it appears they’ve leaned all the way into it. And if you’re going to do something so ridiculous, you’ve got to do it big.
We can only imagine what a potential tattoo will look like should the Longhorns win the next two games and their first college football national championship since 2006.
