He did it! Bubba Wallace shows off his new Richard Petty tattoo

Bubba Wallace made good on his promise to get a tattoo of Richard Petty's signature after 43,000 retweets of a picture of 'The King' signing his name on Bubba's forearm came out in July. Check out these behind-the-scenes photos of Bubba adding body art -- and maybe a little pain as well -- to his life.

Instead of putting the tattoo on his forearm, Bubba opted for the back of his right thigh for the famous signature.

There it is, as Bubba forever becomes one of 'The King's' men. And here we thought sitting in the cockpit for 500 laps at Bristol was tough enough. Quick, somebody get Bubba a bag of ice for that.

Bubba showing off the tattoo and looking a bit more relieved now that the hard part is over.

Bubba seems a-OK as he poses with Ryan Blaney's personal tattoo artist, London Reese, who came for the special occasion. Until next time, always know that Bubba Wallace is a man of his word.
