Andreas Muller was excited when the opportunity to win a £20,000 Mini Cooper came up. His local radio station asked listeners to come up with a crazy stunt to win the car competition. The craziest idea would be picked, with the condition that the winner had to see the stunt through.

The 39 year old German man opted for a rather painful solution: to tattoo his private parts with the word 'MINI'. Unsurprisingly, his idea was picked as the craziest, perhaps due to interest it would generate from the public.

Muller dutifully went along with his challenge when he was contacted by the radio station. He was interviewed live while the tattoo artist added the car manufacturer's brand on his body.

‘There were a lot of crazy stunts put forward by listeners, but Andreas won by a short head,’ said one of the competition’s organisers.

According to Metro, "radio listeners were then treated to Muller's cries of agony" while the tattoo was created.

For Muller, the pain is definitely worth it. He said: ‘Once I’m sitting in the car, it won’t matter anymore. Then the pain will be gone and it’ll be alright.’

If you still feel curious, you can check out the photos on the Metro website.

How far would you go for a chance to win a car? Does it depend on the model or brand? Would you consider doing something like this to win a Mini Cooper? Please let us know!

Crazy guy

I've heard of stupid, but this is taking it one step too far! I would never do this just to win a car. I wonder even it it's safe!? Well done for originality but it sounds like a bad joke in a university bar or on MTV's Jackass show. At 39 this guy should know better. Definitely not worth it for a Mini Cooper, you'd need to pay me a lot to do that!!

Re: Crazy guy

@ Brian: so my question is, how much? I'd do it for a Ferrari, maybe even a Porsche 911. Not for a Mini.

Re: Crazy guy

@ Harry: I don't think I'd consider this for anything less than a Lamborghini. Actually I'm not even sure lol! The operation to remove the tattoo would be too painful so this is permanent the way I see it. So make it two Lambos and I'll consider it.

Re: Crazy guy

I remember seeing a TV show back in the 90's called 'Would you, Could you?' that reminds me a lot of this piece. One student got the logo tattooed on his leg, all his body hair shaved plus half his body tanned bright orange for a grand. I couldn't believe it.
