(suspenseful music)
- [Allison] What the (beep)?
(gasps)
Are you serious?
(upbeat music)
- [Allison] You know, this is kinda extreme.
- [Nico] On this episode of How Far Is Tattoo Far?,
best friends Allison and Taj are ready
to reveal some deep secrets.
They've been friends for years,
but not friends with benefits.
- Wait, did you guys ever hook up?
- No. - No.
I always told him, like, if we did it I think it would
be awkward for the relationship,
and he doesn't hit on me.
And, I appreciate him for that.
- Huh. - They haven't hooked up,
but Allison stays involved in Taj's love life.
- She's like my wingwoman,
but she's very overprotective.
Imagine being a gay guy that's trying to flirt with guys,
and she be lookin' like, "Well, why you in my territory?"
- Maybe, it's just like approval.
- Thank you.
- When it comes to Taj's relationships,
I am the gatekeeper,
and you gotta go through me in order to get to him.
Allison knows best.
- [Nico] There is one thing Allison doesn't know though.
- I have a huge secret to tell my best friend.
- Oh (beep).
- It's like,
bulldozer.
- Oh!
Bam, okay,
well, let's not waste any time.
Let's go to tattoos.
(upbeat music)
- [Taj] It's hurting real bad.
- [Tattoo Artist] You nervous?
- (chuckles) Yes.
(sighs)
If it feels like this,
I can only imagine what his is feeling like.
- [Taj] It hurts so, so bad!
(groans)
- [Nico] How ya doing, Taj?
- [Taj] This is like the worst pain I ever had.
(intense music)
- I think we're gonna need the medic.
He's shaking,
and he's in a lot of pain.
This the biggest tattoo we've had on this show.
- I've never been tattooed on my back,
and the pain is just too much.
(intense music)
- All right, so this is faint.
His heart rate's kind of too low right now.
(intense music)
I don't think you should keep going.
- [Nico] Taj couldn't finish his tattoo,
but Allison did.
Let's see the tattoos these BFFs got.
- Taj wasn't able to finish his tattoo.
(hip hop music)
- Aw!
- [Taj] It wasn't my choice.
- It was the medic's choice, so...
- Right now, on top of all this pain,
my hands is sweating.
I just don't know how she's gonna react to the secret
that I have to tell her.
- All right, Taj, you're going first.
- Okay. - (sighs)
- [Allison] Let's see what you got.
(suspenseful music)
- Taj, what could possibly be so big?
- I have no (laughs) idea.
(laughing)
(suspenseful music)
(gasps)
(laughing)
- [Taj] This is huge.
- [Snooki] My God!
(upbeat music)
- Are you mad?
I have your back forever.
- The fact that we have the friendship
where she just always has my back,
she always takes up for me,
I actually love the tattoo.
(sighs)
- She know I love her boobs.
(laughing) (upbeat music)
Oh my God.
I can't be mad at this.
I wish I would've been able to finish it.
- [Allison] It's okay.
- Careful. - Aw!
- Oh, that hurts my titty.
(laughing)
- This is too much.
I'm gon' start crying.
Let's switch.
- (sighs) Lord Jesus.
- Jesus has nothing to do with this right now.
(laughing)
(suspenseful music)
- Honestly, this is one of the biggest secrets
that we've ever revealed on this show.
- Who's more nervous out of the two of you right now?
- Me (chuckles).
- If I had hair, I could pull it out (laughs) right now.
(intense music)
- What the (beep)?
(chuckles)
Are you serious?
(gasps) Taj, what?
(intense music)
Are you serious?
(suspenseful music)
I don't get it.
- You always thought I was gay.
Actually, I'm bisexual,
and I'm secretly in love with you.
(bell rings)
(sighs)
(crashing)
- You know, this is kinda extreme.
- Yeah.
- Okay.
- It's been so hard to even like,
bring it up 'cause I'm scared of rejection.
(heartfelt music)
(inhales)
- He's been dating guys for so long,
it was just like, oh, my gay best friend.
Maybe in a different setting, it would've worked just fine,
but...
I honestly was not expecting this secret.
It's just a lot to believe.
(heartfelt music)
- [Snooki] So, Taj, where do you wanna go from here?
- You always been there for me,
but you're, like, my rock.
And,
I just don't wanna lose you as a best friend.
- I don't think you'll ever lose me as a best friend.
(heartfelt music)
- Y'all really have such a (beep) beautiful friendship,
a beautiful love.
Y'all are soulmates!
That's fact!
- Other than that, I'm happy
that he got it off his chest.
- Yeah. - So, I still love you,
and I'm here for you.
No matter what.
(cymbal roll)
Oh, my titties.
- Yay. (upbeat music)
Killed it. - Thank you.
- Thank you. - Love y'all.
- [Nico] So, what happened after Taj's big reveal?
Let's check in.
- It took me a minute to comprehend what Taj was trying
to say with the tattoo.
It is cool now, but every time people see my tattoo,
it just like "Oh my God, it's your boyfriend,"
but it's like,
no, that's not my man.
- I have a boyfriend now,
and
Allison approves of him.
He actually thinks my tattoo is cute.
- And honestly, it's my face on his back,
and it's probably the best tattoo he's ever gotten,
like come on, come on!
(laughs) - I guess so.
