When Morgan and Max tied the knot in Jackson Hole, they didn’t just host a wedding — they created an unforgettable experience. One of the most innovative details of their reception was a live tattoo parlor, which turned their celebration into something guests will be talking about for years.

They hired Mike Zimmer, a local Jackson Hole tattoo artist, who offered a curated set of small pre-designed tattoos while also leaving room for simple, spur-of-the-moment creations. Guests loved the chance to personalize their ink, from tiny meaningful symbols to playful sketches. Morgan and Max even joined in, opting for a spontaneous, hand-drawn “M&M” to commemorate the day.

The energy was electric as guests compared their new ink and shared stories behind their choices — a creative way to spark conversation and build memories.

Tips for Couples Considering Tattoos at Their Wedding

• Cocktail Hour Kickoff: Opening the parlor early sets a relaxed tone and lets guests ease into the experience.
  
• Last-Dance Availability: Keep it running until the end so late arrivals don’t miss out.
  
• Multiple Artists: Hiring 2–3 experienced tattooers keeps the flow moving.
  

For Morgan and Max, tattoos weren’t just an add-on — they were a statement. Their wedding showed how embracing the unexpected can elevate tradition and leave guests with memories (and keepsakes) that truly last a lifetime.
