But before he tells the news for Marge he wants her be happy and he gives her a bouquet of flowers. He then tells her that he wants Marge's name tattoed over his heart. Marge tells him to do so if it would make him happy but he must first see a doctor so they can see if his heart can handle the stress. Marge tells Homer that when they do the tattoo, they inject ink under his skin with 50 to 3.000 stabs per minute, which scares Homer. Marge tells him that he also must have a reputable tattoo artist who sterilizes the equipment thoroughly so he do not get any transmissible diseases, which makes him even more scared.
