Avril and Chad were working together recording songs for her self-titled album when she proposed getting some awesome French Tattoo Design. Avril told Chelsea recently“When I met him I was really surprised that he didn’t have any tattoos, so the second day in the studio I’m like, ‘I’m so getting you your first tattoo.’” The tattoos weren’t meant to be harmonizing— basically, Avril had just the first line “La vie en Rose” and Chad had “Vivre le moment présent,” but she later combined the second line in order to coordinate with his.
