The Meaning Behind the Ink: The Story

Stronger Together

Posted on May 1, 2025 by Kayla Swope

My husband Aaron and I have been together since high school. He has loved anime his entire life and had always wanted me to watch with him. Well, in 2020 I finally caved and started with one episode of Dragon Ball Z.

 

One episode turned into two, which turned into entire seasons. Fast forward a few years, and after so much—from a pandemic, to career changes, and all of life’s surprises—we celebrated our 10-year wedding anniversary.

 

To honor everything we have built together and the memories we made even in the hardest times, we got matching tattoos. We decided to choose the characters that symbolized our story: strength, loyalty, and adventure through every chapter—even the unexpected ones.
