A former AFL player followed through on an audacious bet he made last year and now has a hilarious tattoo to show for it.
Former AFL player Daniel Gorringe has followed through on his bet to get a tattoo of Gold Coast Suns coach Stuart Dew.
On Sunday, the ex-Gold Coast and Carlton player got a permanent reminder of the Suns’ 19-point win over the Blues in round 21 last year.

Gorringe clearly had no faith in the Suns and took to social media to make an audacious bet based on the result of the clash between his two old teams.
“If the Suns beat Carlton today I’ll get Stuart Dew’s face tattooed on me,” he tweeted back in August.
Now Gorringe has followed through.
“I’m a man of my word, today’s the day Stewy Dew gets tattooed on me,” he tweeted. “I’ll provide updates, once again thanks to Carlton for making this happen.”
The 29-year-old fittingly got the fresh ink done on the Gold Coast and the finished product has to be seen to be believed.
Gorringe now has a coloured tattoo on his left buttock featuring Dew kicking a footy wearing his red and yellow Suns polo.
He shared photos of the hilarious tattoo to his 185,000 followers on Instagram.
“I’m a man of my word, 1 bet and 5 hours in a chair later …. I present to you the Stuart Dew tattoo,” Gorringe said.
“Massive thanks to @celebrityinkofficial @celebrityinksurfersparadise for looking after me, made me feel very comfortable after I only cried 17 times. Apart from that, I took it like a champ.
“Also thanks to @carlton_fc and @gcsuns. Look forward to never betting on you guys again.”
The comments section on his post quickly lit up and it’s safe to say the feedback on the tattoo was mixed.
Many respected Gorringe’s commitment to his bet and saw the funny side.
“Now you need to go film Dewy’s reaction,” one person commented.
“David Teague on the other cheek?” another said, suggesting he get a tattoo of the sacked Carlton coach as well.
Gorringe played 26 games across his AFL career, including 22 matches for Gold Coast and four with Carlton.
Since retiring from AFL football at the end of the 2017 season, he has appeared on the reality television show Big Brother and co-hosts the popular List Cloggers podcast with former Blues teammate Dylan Buckley.
