Ah internet, what joy have you in store for us next?

The cycle of viralnosity, as we understand it, goes thusly: You make a video that gets a lot of hits, you get a techno/dubstep remix of that video, you're interviewed on TV about the video, people make Vines with your face in them (see below) and finally, someone gets a tattoo of your face on their body.

It seems that we have entered endgame, at least in relation to Frostbit Guy aka Ruairi McSorely, as the tattoo stage has arrived, and it is as glorious/bizarre as you might think. A tattoo artist at Eye Candy Tattoos in Bangor has made sure that at least one person will remember Ruairi forever, with this particular work of art which is getting a lot of attention for them on their Facebook page.

Speaking to Independent.ie, the owner of Eye Candy, Brian Tipping, said that it came to pass more as a joke than anything else. Carl (who is apparently too shy to talk to the media) had been in the day before getting another tattoo and "it was kind of mentioned, and he said 'I'd love that'".

He added that the tattoo is quite small, about the size of a box of cigarettes, but it has still attracted a lot of attention online, with many people criticising it for being too frivolous and saying that a responsible tattoo artist would not have done it. Tipping is not overly worried about that, but wanted to make the point that this was a bit of a one off: "Ninety per cent of what I do is serious. I would hope this wouldn't have a negative effect - people thinking I only do silly tattoos. A lot of passion goes into it".

This being the internet and all, we should also outline the point of view of the conspiracy theorists, who reckon that this might be a fake or was made in photoshop, as they claim that the skin is not red enough, given that it's a brand new tattoo.

Either way, we can't help but feel that it should have been 'lawng' rather than 'lang'. We're sticklers when it comes to phonetics.
