Giles and Wendy, who live in Colchester and were loyal patrons of Rubix bar, were captivated by the vibrant and lively atmosphere the venue offered.
Their shared affinity for the energetic atmosphere ultimately led them to a deep connection, prompting them to honour their engagement and the significant role Rubix played in their relationship through a unique expression.
Explaining the significance behind their decision, Giles said: "We decided to get the tattoos done as we met at Rubix last year in November.
"Rubix Bar and Nightclub is a special place for us as were introduced to the venue by a mutual friend and the rest is history as we now have matching Rubix Tattoos and are engaged to get married."
The couple has not set a date for their wedding as they are saving up for a house.
They opted for matching Rubix tattoos, featuring the iconic Rubik's cube design alongside their special date, serving as a symbol of their love and the venue which brought them together.
