Taylor Downs made headlines after her spontaneous decision to get matching ‘Yeehaw’ tattoos with her bridesmaids during her bachelorette party in Nashville, Tennessee. The 28-year-old bride-to-be shared the unique moment on TikTok, captivating millions with her and her bridesmaids’ daring choice.
A Nashville Adventure Turns Into a Tattoo Session
The idea sparked on the last day of her bachelorette trip. While joking with her 10 bridesmaids, Taylor mentioned getting lip tattoos. To her surprise, they all agreed. “I was very, very surprised that they all said they would be down to do it,” Taylor recounted. Just before heading to the airport, the group stopped by a nearby tattoo parlor, deciding on the Nashville-inspired ‘yeehaw’ design. While all the bridesmaids opted for this quirky tattoo, two chose alternative locations—one on her foot and the other on her buttock.
Capturing the Moment and Keeping Secrets
Although Taylor didn’t manage to get a photo with all her bridesmaids showing their tattoos, she captured the moment with her sister, Kyla Moore, also part of the bridal party. The secrecy surrounding the tattoos added to the excitement, as Taylor planned to surprise her then-fiancé, Jacob Downs, with the news. She filmed his reaction more than a year later, sharing his genuine surprise and delight on TikTok—a video that quickly amassed over 4.2 million views.
Jacob’s Unforgettable Reaction
Sitting in a car, Taylor pretended to have bitten her lip and asked Jacob to check if it was bleeding. That’s when she revealed her tattoo, prompting a stunned reaction from Jacob. “You did not,” he exclaimed, laughing. Taylor admits she was nervous but thrilled to share the moment, emphasizing how supportive Jacob was of the decision.
More Than Just Ink
Taylor’s lip tattoo adds to her collection, which includes artwork on her wrist, foot, and ribs. The video of Jacob’s reaction not only highlighted their fun and supportive relationship but also showcased their deep friendship. “It’s really obvious in the video that more than anything Jacob and I are best friends and we have a great time together,” Taylor shared.
