“I vow to fiercely love you in all your forms, now and forever.
I promise to never forget that this is a once in a lifetime love. And to always know in the deepest part of my soul
that no matter what challenges might carry us apart, we will always find our way back to each other”.
The Vow.
In the intimacy of a room, under a dim light, windows closed, and messy sheets, it is where hidden tattoos get revealed.
Like mysteries that make you fall in love and captivating enigmas you unravel, the tattoos you have in the most unexpected parts of your body become a beautiful secret between you and the love of your life.
The tattoo that no one has ever seen ceases to be a secret when love transforms it into complicity. The need to hide what defines you vanishes when you finally find the one.
“Before anything else, excuse me for the musty smell, no one stayed here in a long time, even less so with the intention of remaining.
Open widely my doors and windows. Air out, let the light in, colors start painting, this blue needs more red, today we are going to get purple*.
And talking about getting, get comfortable, this is your home. As for me, I set it all so that you won’t want to move again.
You can leave your stuff here, between the years I searched for you and the ones I will keep finding you. The first ones are full of errors, the later are tainted with my will to not be mistaken again.”
[*To stuff one’s face with something]
Pensión compleja (excerpt) – Risto Mejide
The love of your life makes you feel secure and free to share the mystery surrounding that phrase or special element you carry everywhere.
In a flash, what you tattooed in your skin to be only yours, becomes part of your shared story. When his or her fingertips follow the lines on your back to know you better, and when the lips kiss the colors that illuminate your column, time freezes for both of you.
Your tattoos tell a story only intimacy will reveal.
The secret you and your lover share will add to the eroticism of your relationship, and your passion will be adorned by your hidden tattoos.
