- It's so crazy not knowing
what's getting tattooed to my body right now.
- We're here about to get tattoos.
I've no idea what she's picked for me,
and vice versa.
It's a little bit nerve wracking.
- It's tormenting.
- (Together) We're getting married!
- We getting married.
- We are engaged,
and we've been together for more than a year.
- We've known each other since high school.
- For about 11 years.
We both packed up our lives
and shipped over here from Sydney.
So that took a great deal of trust.
- I feel like this is the ultimate trust test
before the wedding.
- I'm still nervous, but this is like nothing in comparison.
It's her body, and suddenly I have this weird authority
over it, which is really uncomfortable, to be honest.
- I'm hoping I really love this tattoo,
because I'm going to be walking down the aisle
with this tattoo.
(laughs)
- Hey Mike, Rachelle.
- Nice to meet you.
- How are you?
- You're picking something for your girlfriend,
what are you thinking?
- I'm actually thinking of this leaf.
The gum leaf from back home in Australia.
We're really hungover just drawing on bits of garden.
That was a leaf that I drew.
- Oh, that's cool.
- And she was like, I'm keeping it forever.
And she was like stoked on this one.
She actually lost it later that day,
her housemate put it in the bin.
The next morning I woke up,
and I could hear all this stuff
outside the back of the house,
and she was actually emptying a full garbage bin,
and she found it and kept it.
And she still has it.
That's a little cool reminder of finding her in the trash.
- I actually have two ideas as well,
depending on what is viable for the timeframe.
I found this picture of a pomegranate.
Every time I see them, I think of her,
but I also think of my culture and heritage.
What do you think?
- Let's take a look at the other one.
- So when Rachelle and I first started dating.
- Really?
- And this was one of the leaves.
- Let me take a peek at that.
- And my housemates actually threw that leaf away,
so I had to rummage in the bin.
- Did you really?
- To find it.
It was covered in all sorts of things.
- Here.
(laughs)
- I like it.
It's a gum leaf?
- Yeah, it's a gum leaf.
And we're Australian.
- I know my leaves.
- I thought maybe the lines here
would be a little bit too fine.
- I have a feeling we might be able to come up
with a simpler version of this.
That way, it can be done.
- I think we should go pomegranate then.
Simple, yet complicated.
Just like her.
The splash of red as well, is like fire.
- Yes.
- Love.
Unbridled passion.
She's so going to break up with me.
- So what are you looking to get done?
On her, shall I say?
- I think it would be really cool to have
by grace, through faith tattooed on her.
- Okay.
- It comes from the Bible,
and just encapsulates her journey.
Went through some very difficult times in our life,
but her faith in Christ is what kept her so strong.
She loves super minimalistic cursive fonts.
- I was thinking of getting for the good,
but in a nice, modern, clean font.
And I'd like to make the T kind of like a cross.
Yeah.
I feel like he's just such a warrior,
his favorite verse is Romans 8:28,
and it's all things work together for the good.
You know, things happen for a reason.
I think that's just something he lives by,
and I fell confidant that it's something he will love.
Ready to go!
Wait, wait, wait.
Can we sketch it out?
- No, no, we just free hand it on.
We don't use a stencil or anything.
- Really?
- No, yes, we'll sketch it out.
- Oh, good.
- [Tan] Here we go.
- Ow!
Okay!
- [Charlie] It's okay, baby.
- Sorry buddy, gotta stay on that side.
- Why?
- LA County Healthcare violation.
Cheerleaders got to stay in the stands.
- I just want to hold her hand, man!
- We done.
- Yeah.
- Really?
- [Man] Three, two, one, look.
- For the good.
(laughs)
I love it.
- Really?
- Yeah.
That's my favorite Bible verse.
All things happen for the good.
This verse has kept me through
everything that I've been through.
I held on to this truth,
especially when it came to who my future wife would be,
and I just had this incredible amount of faith,
and He led me to you, which is the greatest blessing.
I love you.
- I love you too.
- [Man] Three, two, one, look.
- Aw, it's so pretty!
I love it!
- [Charlie] You love it?
- Yes!
Thank you so much!
It says by grace, through faith
in the most pretty cursive writing.
I'm obsessed with like little, cursive writing like this.
- Yeah!
- Thank you, I love it.
- I love you.
- [Man] Three, two, one, look.
- A pomegranate!
I thought it was really round, like a crab.
- Well, it is.
It is.
Do you like it?
- Yeah.
Holy crap.
I didn't even think of that.
- That's kind of like you,
because it's like a little bit gory,
and the veins remind me of a heart, like it's anatomical.
This represents you to me.
- It fits really well.
- I thought so too, thank you so much.
I did good, guys.
- It felt like a whole bunch of zig-zagging at one point.
Like an octopus.
- [Man] Three, two, one, look.
- Oh my god.
Oh my god!
Woah!
I was going to get you that!
- I thought that, I thought you might,
so that's why I was freaking out.
- Amazing.
Aw, Rickie, it's so cute.
That's so amazing.
It's a leaf that I will keep with me forever now.
And I said to her.
I was like, this leaf is staying
with me forever, at the time, and now it really is.
