The Story of Kristel Oreto & Joe Tattoo…..
Once upon a time in a world of empty dreams and false hopes , there was a girl and a boy who always felt alone and lost little did they know one day their paths would cross in the strangest way… The girl Kristel was a young mother and striving tattoo artist and one day a young man walked through the door to get tattooed.. There was an instant yet unexplainable bond.. She tattooed a clock timepiece on him which he never really understood why he wanted it, they laughed and acted like no one else was in the world.. When they finished that first tattoo they went their separate ways. Joe felt beside himself and knew he had to see Kristel again, so he went back, and back, and back, not only to see her but she also inspired him to fulfill his own desire to become an artist.. But as most young tattoo artists she moved onto a new tattoo studio.. Over time the two kept in contact however they could until one day their paths crossed again, and yet the same thing occurred, an unexplainable bond. Neither Joe nor Kristel expressed the feelings of the strange bond, thinking the other person would think they were crazy, thinking to themselves they had lost their minds, this would go on for 8 years of friendship, through bad relationships, life changing events, and very low times in each of their lives, both caring for each other deeply yet not expressing it, not wanting to effect the others life situations. Joe continued on with his music, tattooing and kids and Kristel with her tattooing and her kids.. Yet one night Joe performed at a concert that Kristel attended, when they saw each other it had been too long… they embraced and didn’t want to part, Kristel then realized she loved this man and Joe knew she was the one. Yet again both were in relationships, so they went there separate ways not saying anything, both of their lives became very destructive and dark with unhealthy relationships, drugs and alcohol, and one day out of the blue they thought about each other and contacted one another when they both needed a friend to vent too.. so they agreed to see each other, they both vented, vented and vented and it came to light there was an strong attraction and bond, both floored by what the other was saying and realizing they didn’t need all the negativity and unhealthy things consuming their lives just love and support from one another, both unhappy all these past 8 years and wishing for each other.. Then a kiss... it was unstoppable... they ran off the the Beer City Tattoo Convention came home moved in with each other and married a month later, these two are inseparable, they have never been away from each other since the day the magic words “I truly love you” were exchanged..
