This viral sensation is now a permanent picture on a Texas man's body.swiked.tumblr This viral sensation is now a stable picture on a Texas man’s body.

We know where he stands on “The Dress.”

A Texas man got a blue and black tattoo of the polarizing frock that some swear is white and gold on his calf because he “didn’t see a reason not to.”

“I pretty much got it because, I mean, I keep up with all the social memes and hysteria and whatever, and this is the only one that I really couldn’t wrap my brain around,” Daniel Howland told BuzzFeed. “So I just decided to do it.”

The 24-year-ancient piercer’s new ink also says, “White and gold?”

The tat took about 20 minutes for Howland’s co-worker Nick York to perfect on Friday at their Austin shop. York, 19, did the tattoo for free, according to BuzzFeed.

York is still team white and gold, but he agrees with Howland on one thing — it is a “stupid” tattoo.

“That’s why it’s amusing. Because it is stupid,” he told the site.

The striped Roman Originals dress became an Internet sensation after a Scottish folk singer shared a picture of it and questioned for input on what color it was.

The maker and people who saw it in person eventually confirmed the dress is in fact blue and black, but not before Kim Kardashian, Taylor Swift and others weighed in on the quaint controversy.

“What color is that dress? I see white & gold. Kanye sees black & blue, who is color blind?” Kardashian tweeted Thursday.

Every brain sees color slightly differently, experts clarified to The News on Friday. This, paired with the poor lighting in the original photo, clarify why people looking at the same picture see different things.
