Caitlyn Jenner's Vanity Fair cover had a lasting effect on one admirer.

A North Carolina man liked the star's famous cover photo so much that he opted to get it inked on his body forever. Now, that's commitment.

Greensboro resident Jason Hatfield got Jenner's bustier debut image tattooed on his left forearm Tuesday to show his lifelong and loyal support following her very public transition.

"Caitlyn Jenner's been so brave," Hatfield, who is gay, told NBC News affiliate WXII in North Carolina. "As an athlete and everything that was done before she came out, she was incredible. And now she's a thousand times the role model a Kardashian is!"

Hatfield's ink, which took four hours to complete, is "my tribute not only to the transsexual community and the LGBT [lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender] community and my personal friends, but also their bravery as well."

(With the release of her Vanity Fair cover on June 1, Caitlyn has chosen to publicly identify as a woman and E! News will refer to her using female pronouns. In stories published prior to this date, Caitlyn was referred to as Bruce and male pronouns were used.)

The 65-year-old wowed everyone with her debut on the mag cover on June 1—even herself!

"I mean these pictures—[Annie Leibovitz], Vanity Fair, spared nothing doing it right, and the wardrobe, everything involved with it were just...the people were just great. It was, you know, two of the best days of my life," Caitlyn told the magazine.

"The pictures came out over-the-top great, you know, and I think people's reaction when they see it...I was always worried—you never wanted to look like a guy in drag. You never wanted to look like a guy in a dress, OK? If you're going to do that, come out, you really have to look the part. You have to look very feminine, you have to be able to, what I call my presentation is extremely important because it puts people at ease. And if you can do that, OK, people are at ease, they're just comfortable being around you."

Some are even comfortable enough to get you tatted on their arm, girlfriend.
