NextImg:My bridesmaids and I each got a hilarious secret tattoo — we revealed it at my wedding

Her lips were sealed — until the wedding day. 

A bride from Lakeland, Florida, got matching lip tattoos with her 10 bridesmaids and waited till the maid of honor speech to announce it to the world, South West News Service reported. 

Taylor Downs, 28, got the tats with her friends while they celebrated her bachelorette weekend in Nashville, Tennessee.

Eight of the gals, plus Downs, got the word “YEEHAW” tattooed on their bottom lips, one got it on her butt and another on her foot.

Taylor, who originally suggested the idea as a joke, was shocked when her friends agreed. 

Taylor showed her husband Jacob Downs, 24, her tattoo when she got home from her pre-wedding trip.

“He was asking me how my trip was. I asked him to kiss me on the cheek, and then I planned to pretend to bite my lip — and revealed the tattoo,” she recalled, adding that the stunt reflected her “spontaneous and carefree personality.” 

Luckily, Jacob was a fan. 

“He thought it was as cool as I did,” Taylor said of the inkings, which cost each person about $80.

On the couple’s wedding day in June 2022, Taylor and her wedding party paid their tattoos a bit of lip service.

“We all stood up and showed our tattoos. Everyone was just surprised,” Taylor recalled.

“My parents thought it was funny. My granddad rolled his eyes,” she added.

Taylor said she and her bridesmaids still love their tattoos — and her sisters were impressed by her influence over her friends. 

“My sisters said I was a really influential person and I was able to get people to do something. They told us all to reveal what we all got together,” she said.
