EXCLUSIVE: Bachelorette Contestant Kasey Kahl Cajoled Into Love Sick Tattoo

Bachelorette contestant Kasey Kahl was in the hot seat on the Men Tell All special on Monday to discuss his infamous tattoo that pledged to “guard and protect” Ali Fedowtowsky’s heart.
But Breaking Celebrity News has learned that Kahl was convinced to permanently stamp his affection on his wrist by the ABC dating show.
“The producers tried to persuade him for three days to get it,” revealed an insider to Breaking Celebrity News. “They told him Ali would really love it.”
However, Kasey told a different story, “I always wanted to get a tattoo, so when I told the producers they went out and got me thirty graphic designs that reflected my motto.”
“I didn’t want to get it just for Ali. But I did get it to show her how serious I was about what I had told her,” explained Kahl in an exclusive interview with Breaking Celebrity News. “She really questioned my sincerity so I did it to show her my feelings were genuine.”
Although Ali wasn’t impressed - and voted him off the show in favor of the despised Justin ‘Rated-R’ Rego – Kasey says he has no regrets.
“I am stoked about the tattoo because it is more famous than anything on the show. Everyone wants to see it. Everywhere I go I am asked to show it and it has been crazy-overwhelming.”
The California advertising exec’s tattoo isn’t the only evidence of his hopeless romantic ways. He was known for his impromptu serenading, which was painfully embarrassing for everyone around him except Kasey himself.
