I met Victor when I was around 18 years old, we had mutual friends and were regulars at the party scenes. Never did we talk since he was always alway the quiete guy in the background hiding his face under his hoodie, and I was a tad shy to make the effort . After a few years I saw him again at my friends wedding, and consequently at a few other gatherings. It was then that I heard he was tattooing, that I made the initiative to speak to him. We set the date for him to do my first tattoo; and then we got to know each other since he kept calling me “concerned” over my tattoo... (Possibly because he failed to warn me I was only his 2nd practice run!)  One call led to the next, and one 4th of July with fireworks in the sky, I gave "us" a chance. It has been quite a journey full of experiences that have solidified who we are as a couple.  We are so different from one another, which is what makes us such a distinct couple.  I feel that we compliment one another to bring out the best in us. I discribe our relationship as two puzzle pieces; two very distinct people that when put together, click just perfectly.  

Conoci a Victor a la edad de 18, teniamos amistades mutuas y eramos regulares en las fiestas. Nunca habiamos conversado ya que el siempre era el muchacho callado en una esquina y escondido bajo su gorro,  y yo era muy vergonzosa para hacer ese esfuerzo. Despues de algunos anos lo volvi a ver en la boda de mi amiga, y consecuentemente en otras reuniones. Fue entonces que escuche que el hacia tatuajes, que tome la iniciative de hablarle. Hicimos la cita para que me hiciera mi primer tatuaje, y de ahi comenzamos a platicar mas ya que me llamaba constantemente "consternado" por mi tatuaje... (posiblemente porque nunca me conto que yo fui su segundo experimento!). Una llamada llevo a la otra, y un 4 de Julio, cuando el cielo estabe lleno de fuegos artificiales, decidi darnos una oportunidad. A sido toda una jornada llana de experiencias que han solidificado lo que somos como pareja. Somos tan diferentes el uno al otro, y eso es lo que nos hace una pareja tan distinta. Siento que nos complementamos el uno al otro para sacar lo mejor de los dos. Yo describo nuestra relacion como dos piezas de un rompecabezas; dos peronas bien distintas, que cuando se juntan encajan perfectamente.         

Like she said, we went to a lot of parties together, her friends would always greet me, and she never responded to me. I was like, "this fucken conceited ass, stuck up female". I always told her how I felt about her in the begining.

One day I saw her at a party, and she came up to me after she saw I had done a tattoo on one of my friends. She asked if I can do one on her, and I said yes. The date finally came when I did her tattoo; I put the stencil on her, I wipped it, and erased it! I only had one line on her body, and decided to freehand the pattern. My friend Tulio was in the background asking what the heck I was doing?! "I got this", I assured him. She didn't know it was my second tattoo, but in the end it came out just fine.

After this, we got to know each other better and began to "talk" more.  I liked how open minded she was about traveling and knowing other cultures. We had only been "talking" for one week before I got myself into a little trouble. She was there for me, and that is when I realized that I couldn't let her go. Since that day, we have been through good and bad situations, until now. She supports me in even the stupidest things, just like I support her. We may not have many things in common, but we get along perfectly, that is was makes us so unique.

Como ella dijo, fuimos a muchas fiestas juntos, sus amigas siempre me saludaban y ella nunca me respondia. Yo siempre dije, "esta pinche mujer creida y presumida". Yo siempre le he dicho lo que pense de ella.

Un dia la vi en una fiesta, y ella se acerco a mi despues de que vio un tatuaje que le hice a un amigo. Ella prunto si yo le podia hacer uno, y le dije que si. El dia por fin vino para hacerle su tatuaje; le puse el dibujo, lo limpie, y se lo borre! Solo tenia una linea en su cuerpo, y decidi hacerle el dibujo a mano libre. Mi amigo Tulio estaba en el fondo preguntandome que, "Que chingados estaba haciendo?" "Yo puedo!" le asegure; ella no sabia que apenas era mi segundo tatuaje, pero al final salio bien.

Despues de eso, comanzamos a platicar mas y conocernos mejor. Me gusto su su manera libre de pensar acerca de viajar y conecer otras culturas. Apenas llevabamos una semana de "platicar" cuando yo me meti en unos problemitas. Ella estubo alli para mi, y fue  cuando me di cuenta de que no la podia dejar ir. Desde ese dia emos pasado por lo bueno y lo malo hasta haora. Ella me brinda su apoyo hasta en mis deciciones mas estupidas, como yo la apoyo a ella. Puede que no tengamos muchas cosas en comun, pero nos llevamos perfectemente, lo cual nos hace tan unicos.
