- So I just got home and the tats
are looking pretty good,
but my wife doesn't really know about them.
- What the heck?
(rock and roll music)
- Tattoos to me are really scary,
and if they're not important,
I wouldn't just get one.
- I can't even stay in a relationship
for longer than a year,
so a tattoo is like a lifetime commitment,
and I'm not ready for that.
- I would say people perceive me
as a pretty straight-edge kinda guy.
I never have done hard drugs,
I've never done marijuana.
The edge part of me is when I smoke cigars occasionally,
and I drink whiskey.
- The first thing that actually came to mind
when I was getting a tattoo, the bigger one,
was is it gonna show up when I'm in a wedding dress?
- This face tattoo is gonna be serious.
I mean I live in a liberal place,
so I mean I'm sure I'm not gonna get
any too hardcore looks,
but it'll definitely change the perception.
- I'm like really excited (laughs)
to look like I actually, um, am cool.
- So let's get tatted.
(rock and roll music)
(dark orchestra music)
- Oh, it's like a stencil.
(dark orchestra music)
I'm really nervous.
Some people are gonna stare at me.
- How's it look?
(upbeat violin music)
- Getting weird looks from people looking at my face
so, I put the sunnies on
will kinda hide it.
- As I was leaving my apartment,
I realized that I look like
a character from West Side Story.
I got the white shirt,
blue jeans,
I don't know.
I just think I have to have a snap battle with somebody.
Candice and I realized that we'd actually
started to dress more badass
(Candice laughs)
to show off our tattoos.
- Like I have to look cool at least
to kind of match these tattoos.
- Notice how we're here eliminating color
from our wardrobes.
- I was standing over the bar and this girl
came up to me
and I think she thought that I was gay.
(laughs)
She started buying me shots
and talking to me about my tattoos
so I guess my tattoos are attracting everybody.
- And the hardest thing about
having a tattoo on your face is
forgetting that it's there and like
being concerned why people are looking at you.
- So we're at Nicole Miller in West Hollywood,
and I'm about to try on some wedding dresses.
I'm excited.
- Yeah I'm excited to see 'em on her,
especially with like
I don't know, that's just gonna be weird (laughs).
- Yeah, my mom would be judging me so hard right now. - Oh yeah.
(piano music)
(laughs)
(friend crying) - Stop. No, don't cry. Don't cry.
- [Friend] I can't, the veil and the hair...
- Wow, wow, wow, wow, wow.
Yeah, I don't even see it.
I don't even see it.
- [Dress consultant] Yeah. - [Friend] Yeah.
- When it's something so special and so right it's...
you're not gonna see it.
- [Dress consultant] Well, you shine through.
- I think there's this thing
that women have to look so pristine
and so like, flawless, basically, on their wedding,
and it's like this can be part of you.
It's changed my perspective.
- [Friend] Yeah.
- Definitely.
- You don't see a tattoo when the bride
just like looks so beautiful in the dress.
And you can tell that she feels beautiful.
It's like this is whatever, it doesn't...
- I will say that the tattoo has really started
to kind of grown on me.
Same thing with my wife.
We both have come to enjoy it more
over the week.
- It's so bizarre how emotionally attached
I've gotten to this tattoo,
like, it's so dumb, but like I love it,
and now I feel,
I feel like I've had so many memories.
- Those weird three, four second looks,
are just like enough to like grab my attention,
and again, I always forgot it was on my face,
and then I was like, oh yeah,
I have a tattoo on my face,
this is uh, this may look kind of strange.
- People identify you through your tattoos
first and foremost.
It's not your personality,
it's not your glorious smile or your eyes,
it's your tattoo.
- It was almost like people had more respect
for me with showing off these tattoos,
and like they saw me in a totally different light.
And then I started feeling more confident.
- Maybe a half sleeve is in my future.
I don't know, I'll have to look at my bank account.
