There’s a story behind every tattoo, but there may be only one where the story includes a free iPhone.
Philip Harrison of Phoenix, Arizona called out to T-Mobile CEO John Legere on Twitter, saying he’d get the cellphone carrier’s logo tattooed on his arm if the company sends him a free iPhone 8.
Legere took the deal, Harrison followed through and earlier this week, Legere promised on Twitter to send him a new iPhone 8.
“My girl told me to get it (on the upper bicep) so then you’ll be able to hide it and I was like, that’s not where everyone can see it,” Harrison told CBS 5 in Phoenix. “I know it might sound crazy, but I was like, I got to stick to my word.”
Instead, Harrison had the tattoo artist ink the magenta logo on his right forearm.
After seeing a tweet, #TattooForPhillip, with a photo of the fresh tattoo, Legere responded: “Who. Nice tattoo!! Let’s get you that iPhone!!”
On Tuesday, Legere tweeted: “Still can’t believe you did it. Love that you’ll have T-Mobile w/you forever!”
Did I do it for an iPhone 8? Sure, but I also did it for the story that would be forever attached to the tattoo #TattooForPhilip pic.twitter.com/CKH3oqpnf0

Best thing is to get P U N K tattooed on your forehead. People are doing home surgery to remove their own genitals too nowadays, something else to think about that you might like trying.
Isn’t Sprint and t-Mobile in the final stages of a merger? What happens when T-Mobile doesn’t exist anymore?
