Inked Proposals

Joe Wittenburg's Tattooed Marriage Proposal is the Ultimate Commitment

Joe Wittenburg's tattooed marriage proposal is the most epic proposal I have ever seen. Wittenburg is a San Diego-based tattoo artist who has officially shattered the mold for wedding proposals.

Joe Wittenburg and his girlfriend have a son, and he proposed to her on Mother's Day. The tattooed marriage proposal should go down in infamy as the biggest commitment move a man has ever made. Hats off to you, Joe!

Implications - When I see something like this I can't help but wonder if it makes you less likely to get into serious arguments with your mate. Do you ever bite your tongue because you're worried about the cost and pain of tattoo removal on TOP of the cost and pain of divorce? Who knows. Let's hope our pal Joe never finds out.
