The tennis player proclaims his love by engraving her name on his arm

In a classy move, Kaley Cuoco's new husband, Ryan Sweeting, just tattooed her name on one of his forearms. The news comes straight from the horse's mouth, as it were, because Ryan posted a fuzzy picture of his new ink on his Instagram.

The tattoo shows Kaley's name, scrawled out in cursive letters, running down the length of his forearm, on its lower side. The tennis player captioned the photo, “Ink my whole body I don't give a ... Artistic cred to Damian at True Tattoo Hollywood.”

Some people get wedding bands or matching outfits to celebrate their nuptials, but Ryan chose a more “permanent” statement of his undying love. While it remains a very romantic gesture (if you're into that sort of thing), it begs the question of what happens in case things don't work out.

It's not like a “I Heart Mom” tattoo, because your mom is always going to be just that: your mom, but in the case of partners, well, some of them have a tendency to up and leave you at times.

Another eyebrow-raising fact is that the couple are still newlywed, making their relationship official in the eyes of the Lord after just three short months of tumultuous courting.

The couple married over New Year's, as reflected by the tattoo, which also ads the Roman numerals of XII XXXI XIII, a symbol of the date of the wedding, 12.31.13.

It remains to be seen if Kaley will answer this tattoo in kind or if she'll just brush it off as sign of deep affection from her man. Right now, the two are very much in love, as is expected from a newlywed couple.

When they appeared in public at the Golden Globes Award ceremony, the two made a show of broadcasting their love with many public displays of affection. They posed for minutes on end in front of flashing camera kissing and smiling together.
