A man's bold, unadvised tattoo proposal thankfully went very right

Talk about everlasting love.

If there are two things in life that are sure to last forever it's tattoos and love...right?

A couple from Colorado got engaged in a very, um, lasting way. Tattoo artist, Vinny Capaldo-Smith, proposed to his girlfriend, Brooke Wodark, by asking her to tattoo his leg. Brooke, though nervous to give him a permanent piece of art, had no idea that he was about to pop the question.

As she was about to apply the ink, Vinny pulled up his shorts to reveal a romantic fill-in-the-blank tat for her to finish.

Thankfully, she said yes. Imagine how awkward that would have been...No one needs a constant reminder of rejection.

Wodark posted a full video of the mercifully successful proposal on her Facebook page.

After posting the video to Facebook, their proposal has received over 10 million views. But fellas, unless you know for sure your partner is in it for the long-run, don't go getting any ideas.

Tattoos and love both can hurt, but in this case Vinny seemed to go pretty much unscathed.
