Gizelle Bryant Just Gave Austen Kroll a Tattoo at BravoCon 2023

It might be a Bravo-verse first: One of the green-eyed bandits got the honor of adding some ink to the Southern Charm-er's body during a BravoCon 2023 wheel spin.

Things got interesting in Sin City when Gizelle Bryant of The Real Housewives of Potomac touched Austen Kroll's naked chest during a "Bravo BFFs" live interview at BravoCon 2023, but it was more innocent than it sounds.

After losing to the BravoCon wheel, the Southern Charm cast member was forced to make a difficult decision. Read on to find out how it all went down.

Why did Austen Kroll get a tattoo at BravoCon 2023?

Austen was up first to spin the BravoCon wheel during a live interview that also included Gizelle, Robyn Dixon and Craig Conover. In dramatic fashion, it landed on dealer's choice, which meant moderator Kate Chastain of Below Deck and Couch Talk with Captain Lee and Kate got to pick the punishment, and she chose "take it off." When Austen was a bit hesitant, Kate gave him other wheel options, and he landed on a combo of "take it off" and "get inked." 

As his BFF Craig helped him take off his shirt, Craig invited Gizelle to do the honors of tatting up Austen — well, with a temporary tattoo. She placed stamp that read "I got inked at BRAVOCON" right in the middle of his chest, much to the delight of fans at the live interview.

Robyn Calls Austen and Craig "the Toms for 2024"

This wasn't Gizelle and Robyn's first time in a BFF grouping at BravoCon, but it was their first time sitting with Craig and Austen as friends.

"When we did this last year, those two guys were the Toms," Gizelle said of the BravoCon 2022 group, prompting Robyn to predict that perhaps Craig and Austen will become "the Toms for 2024."

Craig and Austen, for their part, appeared less than thrilled about the prediction relating to Vanderpump Rules buddies Tom Sandoval and Tom SchwartzAs Austen rubbed his face and looked at the floor, Craig said, "I hope not!

"Just joking!" Robyn clarified of the Toms comment during the live interview, and Craig responded with a laugh, "We have enough problems on our side."
