Ludwig’s promise to get a tattoo during his charity stream has meant the YouTube star will now be getting a Twitch logo permanently inked on his palm thanks to fellow content creator Valkyrae.
Ludwig hosted a charity stream for 50 hours on November 20 as a follow up to his Twitch subathon. Subathon 2.0 had a goal to raise 300,000. Ludwig offered a deal to his followers in order to motivate them. Each person who voted for the top four ideas got to choose a tattoo. The tattoo he chooses to have tattooed on his palm would be the highest-voted.

“Alright here’s the situation. There’s an hour and some change left in the stream…The big goal is that at $300,000 I will allow the top four donators from now until then to have a suggestion for what I tattoo on my body,” said Ludwig. “Include in the donation what you would want to have tattooed on me. It’s gonna be on my palm. Maybe it’s a word, maybe it’s a small picture. Can’t be too big realistically”.
Ludwig then went on to add that “I’m gonna take all four of the top suggestions and then chat is going to vote on which one I tattoo on my body. Maybe it’s the Twitch logo, maybe it’s your Twitter.”
Valkyrae proposes the Twitch logo and makes a donation
Ludwig’s partner and fellow content creator QTCinderella was quick to donate and suggested that he get a tattoo of her on his palm. However, this wasn’t the only big donation from a fellow YouTuber.
Valkyrae was the largest of all. Ludwig reached out to Ludwig via discord to talk about the tattoo design she was considering after she had donated $15,000 Initially, Rae was confused and started laughing as she didn’t think she had to suggest an idea. Ludwig explained to Rae the situation. Her first suggestion was for Ludwig to tattoo her YouTube handle on his palm.

But she quickly changed her mind. She decided to get the Twitch Logo instead.

Ludwig jokingly told people to “stop donating” but the $300,000 milestone was soon achieved. Ludwig opened up a poll to let people know which of the four tattoo options they preferred for the final 10 minutes. These included the Twitch logo as well as the “coots” tattoo, “cracker”, and “Jerma Sus Face.”
Twitch logo tattoo tipping the balance with xQc
The poll was essentially a battle of the Twitch tattoo and the Twitch logo. There was some foul play, even though there were over 15,000 contributors. xQc encouraged his viewers to vote for the Twitch Logo in the poll during his Twitch stream. This was likely to tip the balance and resulted in the option receiving the most votes.
After Ludwig left the poll prematurely, it became inconclusive. As a result, the content creator then decided that he “will get a tattoo that includes coots and a small Twitch logo.”
Ludwig thanked everyone who had donated and stayed to watch before he ended the charity stream. It will be interesting to see if Ludwig keeps his word and gets the Twitch logo tattoo Valkyrae suggested.
