Danny Nostrom, the ownder of the tattoo parlor, told the Daily Mail that the young couple entered the shop on October 8, 2020, and "came in super excited about getting new tattoos."
"They wanted a couple of vines around each one of their fingers to represent their love and the fact they were planning this big trip together," Nostrom told the outlet about how excited the couple was about their future travels.
