What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas — except if it’s permanently inked on.

A tattoo parlor in Las Vegas, Nevada, has shared a unique tattoo one man decided to get of former president Donald Trump’s mug shot.

The man reportedly got the historic image inked on his thigh just hours after Trump’s arrest. Ironically the man placed the ink of the former president just above another tattoo of the Statue of Liberty holding a gun.

The parlor, Vegas Vic Tattoos, quoted the tat receiver in the caption, writing: “ ‘I know mugshots, this is the best mugshot, truly great mugshot!’

” ‘Sleepy joe doesn’t have a mug shot, but believe me, it would be a terrible mugshot!’ “

The man who got the ink, and goes by the Instagram handle bearded_tokoloshe, commented on the post gushing over his new tattoo.

“I love it bro! Thank you so much for this masterpiece,” the South African man, who now lives in Las Vegas, wrote.

The Trump supporter posted it on his own Instagram page, writing: “I stand with Trump! Literally.”

There were mixed reactions to the artwork — with some in awe of its detail and likeness, while others had question marks over the subject of the body art.

“Oh gross. What’s wrong with people?” one user wrote.  Another user agreed: “What a moronic thing to do! What are you going to do next, add prison bars over it?”

But some thought the art belonged in a museum and was fantastic. “The teardrop is the perfect touch [laughing face emoji],” one person said.

Trump’s mug shot was taken on Aug. 24, 2023 at the Fulton County Jail in Atlanta. He was arrested on fraud charges after allegedly attempting to overturn the results of the 2020 election in Georgia, as well as accusations of inciting violence from his supporters.

Trump is the first US president to ever had a mug shot taken.
