The idea matured over three long years
More than three years ago, the young man had the idea of using a tattoo to propose to Sara. Over the years, he has nurtured this idea, wanting this moment to be memorable for both of them. He meticulously laid out his plan, seeking the help of an expert tattoo artist to bring his vision to life. And so he turned to Anthony Payne-Wright, owner of Liberty Ink Tattoo in Inkersall, to make it happen.
On the day of the proposal, Joe devised a clever ploy to surprise Sara. Under the pretext of a tattoo appointment, he drove her to the tattoo parlor, where a special atmosphere awaited her. With the staging skills of a director, Joe unveiled the tattoo to Sara, while the Pogues' song Love You 'Till the End filled the room with a moving atmosphere. To do this, he had his pants down over his ankles at the time of his proposal to reveal his tattoo, which is located at the top of his thigh. The tattoo, which measures 25 centimetres, features a cartoon version of the couple. It also features the words 'Marry me then...' above the 'yes' and 'no' checkboxes.
A moving response
Sara, surprised by this unexpected declaration of love, was deeply touched. Filled with emotion, she accepted Joe's proposal with tenderness and enthusiasm. By ticking the 'yes' box on her future husband's leg,she sealed their commitment with a gesture as symbolic as it was meaningful.
Speaking to Kennedy News & Media, quoted by the NY Post, the young woman confided:
The proposal was a shock. The fact that I was able to tattoo it myself made the moment special. It was a lovely moment and I will cherish it forever.
Anthony, the tattoo artist, was delighted to realise this unique wedding proposal. With eight years' experience, he has rarely had the opportunity to take part in such an original project. He explained:
It's not a tattoo I do every day, It's symbolic for them that she ticked the 'yes' box. When it comes to tattoos, I never rule anything out. There are so many weird and wonderful things out there, it's crazy. Any tattoo is possible.
A story shared with the world
After this enthusiastic response, the couple celebrated this special moment with a romantic dinner followed by an evening stroll hand in hand. They shared laughter and tears of joy, savoring the intimacy of their strengthened commitment.
