Hip-Hop’s Royal Family Skip the Bling for Ink

If there were any lingering doubts about the future of Beyoncé and Jay-Z’s relationship in the aftermath of that shocking elevator footage and the seemingly damning implications of Queen Bey’s visual album Lemonade, they were put to rest this week, thanks to a video montage Beyoncé posted on her Instagram page, where the oft talked about – but hardly ever seen – matching wedding finger tattoos she shares with husband Jay Z caught some on-camera time.

Beyoncé and Jay Z were married on April 4, 2008, in a secret ceremony held inside the rapper’s penthouse in New York City, and while the couple has been notoriously tight-lipped about their nuptials, Queen Bey opened up about her relationship with Jay Z and their matching wedding tattoos during a 2008 interview with Essence magazine, saying she didn’t want an engagement ring because, “People put too much emphasis on that. It’s just material and it’s just silly to me.” Instead, Beyoncé wears a wedding band on her ring finger over a tattoo of the Roman numeral IV, which represents their wedding day, April 4, her birthday, September 4, and Jay’s birthday, December 4, all rolled into one.

Flash forward to 2017, and America’s favorite power couple is celebrating nine years of marriage, and to commemorate their anniversary, Beyoncé shared on Instagram never-before-seen shots from the couple’s wedding, the birth of Blue Ivy, and the tattoo shop where they got their matching ink, all set to her track “Die with You.”

There have been rumors floating around in recent years that Beyoncé’s “IV” ring finger tattoo was fading (i.e. she was getting it lasered off because her relationship with Jay Z was over), but this new video proves that their marriage is as strong as ever!

After releasing a new video and audio track for her 2015 song “Die with You,” which she dedicated to her husband, Beyoncé shared some touching home video clips on social media, including shots of her and Jay Z getting their matching “IV” Roman numeral wedding tattoos.
